The Efficiency Expert...
As a multi-tasking mama, I'm always looking for ways to make my life more efficient.
There are they old-fashioned methods, like making double batches of food and freezing half for future meals. But there are books written on this subject, it is territory that is maxed out, efficiency-wise.
I think its time to pare down everyday activities. Let's use mathematical and scientific methods to evaluate the energy output of a mom and find out where energy has been wasted. We are living in a modern age, no need to waste our limited resources.
Here is an example problem: Would it take more energy to get into the shower and shave your legs every so often than just to let the hair on your legs grow out? Or would it be more energy output to walk around with the extra hair weight on your legs all day? Should we include the energy it takes to go to the store to purchase razors as a part of the equation?
Its time to put what we have learned as a society to use in practical, scientific ways to improve the lives of hard-working mothers.
For instance, should we really be doing dishes?
Let's say that every time you wash dishes, you use a certain amount of energy. Let's call that energy E. And you have to do dishes 3 times a day. Let's use A as the adding function and t for 3, the number of times you do dishes.
Now if you stop doing dishes, there will be a certain amount of opposition from the traditional school of thought, let's call this force O. We must consider the environmental gains to the planet by using less water and soap, by NOT doing dishes, we'll call this factor ultimate goal-a healthy planet, U for short. And finally, every mother has limited time each day, should she be spending it doing dishes? We'll call this variable T.
Let's do the math.
E+(A) t = OUT
Wow! That outcome is very insightful. This is just science, people! You can't argue with science. Let's bring being a stay-at-home mom into the 21st century! Science-style!
