Partial list of tasks that life is too short for/my time is too valuable to use it doing these things.
- Checkbook and credit card reconciling
- Seeking out cheap gasoline
- Regularly flossing
- Watching the local TV news
- Voting
- Ironing (This includes owning dress shirts that require ironing; wrinkle-free makes ironing or paying for laundry ironing ridiculous.)
- Finishing books that have lost my interest
- Sending out Christmas cards
- Painting my house interior or exterior
- Some cooking--the complexity, skill required, or mess created imply outsourcing is the right call
- Clipping grocery coupons (any level of search costs negate the potential savings)
- Household recycling
PS. This may be the year that mowing the yard goes on this list. I am close. I enjoy it or at least I like that I do a good job on it. Summoning my inner economist . . . we'll see.
