Going to challenge you Kali - What are your hobbies? How do you change mindset to refresh thinking? Many people find gardening cathartic, allowing them to recharge and be with nature - yoga style if you fit in the exercises and enjoy the physical exercise that, for many, not saying applies to you, refreshes the spiritual.
Why have a big garden? Fundamental question. And if a quality garden, why not go green and embrace nature - make your garden a net contributor to helping us all move toward NetZero.
On other chores, when they are chores - with you 100%. My wife abhors ironing and we do have a great person do this. When I step in to iron - got it down pat. Headphones on, time to catch up with The Economist or listen to some music after setting myself a work issue requiring lateral thinking.
Life is not a balance sheet in the accounting terms, income, outgoings. Have to look at how the different facets of your personal and professional lives fit to family, friends and looking at your physical energy itself feeding off mental and spiritual recharging and building capacity.
Never become 2 dimensional and look at the flows between facets to develop 4, at the very least, dimensions in living a well rounded life.
4 dimensions? Depth in your professional and personal living (beyond the balance sheet). Look at time, what you received from your parents and mentors and what social messages you are sending to your own family in how any of us use time and build physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy
