Weekend Errands

July 6, 2007 at 10:34 am (collaboration, compromise, grocieries, laundry, opposites, rest, task oriented, weekend, weekend errands)

My wife and I see Saturday mornings as two complete opposites. Her typical idea of a Saturday morning is to sleep til eleven, have a slow morning, and just rest through the afternoon. While I’m a big fan of sleeping in, I look at Saturday’s and what I see are all the undone tasks looking straight back at me. I want to do the laundry, pick up groceries, clean our apt, buy aquarium decor, dust, workout, send out pirate party invitations, clean the bathroom, scrub our new tub…you get the idea. However, while I enjoy knocking these things out. I realize that it’s best to collaborate between ideal days – not compromise, but collaborate. What I mean is, not to compromise where neither of us is happy, but to collaborate where both of us are. Thus, I am working on this Friday, an early weekend for us, at 6:15am!
