Show Change Routine When a job becomes monotonous, change to some other housework for a while if possible. Very often using a different set of muscles will prove restful. The time of day you do certain kinds of work makes a difference too. Plan the heavier jobs earlier In the day when you are freshest. Treat each job as a separate unit and see if you can fit in a brief rest period between jobs that are apt to be tiring. Relax completely, even if it is only for 10 minutes. If you can't do that, plan to do a "sit-down" job at that time, such as preparing vegetables, mending mend-ing or planning menus for the week ahead. Proper use of energy and muscles not only speeds work but makes it easier to accomplish and much less tiring. |
