My recently deceased Dad (96) always taught me to work smart,,,, not hard.

This was amazing advice that helped me throughout my life. Whenever I tackle a difficult or tedious task I ask myself if there isn't an easier way to do this. On many occasions, I have found simpler, easier, and faster ways to do things than the conventional approach.

A simple example is to wipe your car/s down between rain showers. No need to fight with the hosepipe or work in the hot sun. Saves water too.

@Puff the Magic Dragon Your Dad was in the same league as Bill Gates, who said,
“I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”

I'm guilty of this! Runs in the family ... my Dad used to smoke cigars and he kept all the wooden boxes they came in.

After he'd passed away my Mom couldn't bring herself to throw them away because they were Dad's ... so she kept them.

After my Mom passed away my brother and I couldn't bring ourselves to throw them away because they were Dad's ... so we kept them.

My house is a mess because of all the "good stuff" my parents spent a lifetime collecting and passed on the me. Never use it but also just can not part with it.

What really gets me about housework is that I mop the floors, dust the furniture, make the bed - and then I have to do it all over again next year.
