6 Stress Reducing Lessons from the Laundry – Part 2
This is a continuation from last week’s blog…
3. Just say no.
Laundry: If you do the shopping in your family, you may be familiar with the following scenario. You find a shirt you love, but then you check the care tag, and it’s hand wash only. If, in your household, hand wash translates into dirty because you don’t have time to deal with the delicates, just say no. Don’t buy the shirt if it’s going to be imprisoned in the dirty pile.
Life: Be realistic about your lifestyle. Don’t make promises to others or to yourself that experience shows you won’t keep, such as “I’ll do the hand washing more often.” If you don’t have time to volunteer for a charity or dog sit for a neighbour, just say no. It’s much harder to turn down an opportunity or disappoint a friend than it is to leave that shirt in the store and walk away. But if you can harness the power of saying no, both your laundry pile and your stress level will shrink.
4. Separate systematically.
Laundry: It’s impossible to keep the occasional white sock from becoming pink, but everyone (except for maybe college freshmen) knows that it’s essential to separate laundry into whites and colours. Pay attention to when mistakes happen, and set up a system to take the socks out from inside the pant leg before those socks become pink.
Life: Just like a red shirt can ruin a white sock, tension from work can damage your personal life, and vice versa. Overlaps are inevitable, but the right systems and policies can help. Set a work email curfew for when you’re home, or a Facebook browsing limit for when you’re at work. If you work with friends or family members, establish policies for when it’s appropriate to talk in certain tones or about certain subjects. Systematic separation between work and home keeps life clean.
