Add “having fun” to the list of chores
Right between the dishes and trash day
Scribble “doing what you love” on the to-do pad
Right between the laundry and the groceries
Pencil in “relaxation” in an empty calendar slot
In between two other obligations you might forget
Clip a coupon for “doing nothing,” valid this week only
No time to make it up if it isn’t done in time
Set aside an hour each day for “watching TV”
No matter how busy you otherwise are
And remember to feel guilty about it all
If you do too much, or not enough, or none at all
