I have 168 hours a week, of which only 110 are feasible to use (sleep), and by the time we include all the chores, wage-work, bad habits, and procrastination, I probably only live 30 hours a week. That's bullshit; three quarters of my life pissed away. I could live four times as much if I could cut out that stuff.

There are different ways to deal with that:

• Minimizing the chores - obviously if they are chores you want to do as little of them as possible. If only they'd be neccessary. If they weren't you wouldn't do them, or?
• Delegate the chores - either to one for whome these are no chores or who doesn't mind
• Enjoy the chores - if they are inevitable (for whatever reason) you should apply the Litany of Tarski or alternatively the serenity prayer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_Prayer - after all whan cannot be changed can at least be made into fun possibly?
• Reinterpret the chores - Many tasks can be made interesting. Can it be done different? More interesting? Split? Shared? Analysed in interesting ways?
