Originally posted by Helios 1984 I was watching a collector TV show about a year ago (I forgot the name) and there was those guys collecting vintage washing machines. Once or twice a years they'd do a meet up at someone's house to wash clothes for the whole weekend.
As a married individual, who by self-choice is fully in charge of laundry/clothe-washing duties in his home - I want in on this club!
I once read in a book about self-awareness (university-mandated reading), that every chore/duty/activity must be done with full concentration and mindset in the acts performed: if you're doing the dishes, do not think about other things you have to accomplish during the day, or do not day-dream - think about the fact that you're mixing water and soap in order to scrub the plate/fork/glass, and about the circular motions you have to do to get the task accomplished... That is all I took out of that 200-page book.
Ever since, I am, by choice, the laundry-man and the dish-washer at home. To me both are impressively relaxing chores.
