How to Make Chores Fun

I have a modest proposal about household chores and other drudgeries. Let’s name them like legislation – for better branding.

Like the One Big, Beautiful Bill championed by our president. It’s big. But beautiful?

Or the Inflation Reduction Act under the previous prez. And earlier laws such as the USA Freedom Act and No Child Left Behind Act.

Our politicians turn turds into gems. We can too.

So, vacuuming becomes No Cookie Crumb Left Behind. We’ll find joy in cleaning a bathroom when the task is rebranded as Refind the Shine.

That 5:30 a.m. alarm each weekday? Wake now to You Have So Much Potential.

Oooo. This is working.

Got a flat tire? We’ll invoke the Deflation Reduction Act.

We’ll call doing laundry the Spin and Tumble Carnival Ride.

And washing dishes. It’s the Dinner Highlights Reel.

Yardwork is a Yard Massage. Completing tax forms is the Magnificent Money Massage.

And talking to a boss about job performance, something we all love. That’s now Fake Smiling and Nodding – a perfect time for silently pondering the Next Spin and Tumble Carnival Ride.
