Without a doubt commuting to work. In this day and age of advanced Technology driving 20 miles each qway eats into my daily time... I would love to work from home.

CLEANING, in all forms. A stay-at-home mom I am, yes, but a housekeeper I am not.

I'm with you. I'd love to be rid of mine, too.

I would eliminate having to get out of bed. Ours is the most comfortable place in the world.

I also finally hired a cleaning service and absolutely cherish the time it's freed for me to do things I enjoy. I no longer feel guilty when I wake up on a weekend morning (I used to feel like I should clean before having fun, practicing yoga, etc). As a single woman I thought this was too much of an indulgence--- boy am I glad I changed my perspective! :)

If it were me, I wouldn't eliminate any activities: Just the time I spent aimlessly. I know that there over 12 waking hours in the day, but I honestly don't know what I spend them on! I think wasted time can go. I can't believe how an hour can go by without my doing anything at all, not even relaxing!

Cleaning the porridge pot #1.
Spending time at the computer #2.
Both are connected to goodness and sometimes even greatness but ........I could live happily without them.

I LOVE your new site. When I clicked thru today I felt like I'd just cracked open a big juicey novel. But this is even better because it won't end!

I would eliminate using the computer.

I am totally on board with Danielle. Cooking could leave my day and I not be sad. I think I should be looking for a husband #2 that likes to cook!!

Housework in any form.

Carrie and MoJo - you two have inspired me to do the same. I keep thinking about getting a cleaning person but then I feel guilty that I should just do it myself. But MoJo you are exactly right - my husband and I eat out several times a month and giving up one or two would be so worth it. And I would actually enjoy cooking dinner too! Thanks for the responses!!

Those little moments when the icky stressful thoughts creep in about money, UGH!

So go shopping! No excuses about how you want to wait until you diet your way back down to the size you were a few weeks or months ago - you deserve to look and feel great NOW!

All things domestic, really, but cooking would be at the top of the list, because it messes up the kitchen I spend half an hour cleaning every day. I feel like Sisyphus, condemned for all eternity to roll a huge rock up a hill, only to have it roll back down on me... ("stainless" steel - as if!)

ROI right on MoJo!

I have to vote with Guy and eliminate email. Since I wouldn't want to stop all communication with people who love email I would transmit my answers telepathically to a genie of some sort who would type them off an send them. Is that still considered eliminating? Not sure, but it sounds great.

Today right now it would be my unfortunate tendency when I percieve threat to over react. The saying "Do unto others before they do unto you" could have been written for Bolds. It is not needed in my life this way of behaving.
I did it to my boss and she did not deserve it. Fortunately for her (and me) the second half of my style statement will be my guide forward: Grace
Thank God my employer pays for high quality pratice supervisors and I can set about building a bridge instead of blowing one up and retreating into my heavily fortified castle.

Me too! I put it off for so long, but just recently enlisted some help on the domestic front. Friends had told me it would make a big difference in so many ways - and it has - I have a whole weekend to spend with my husband and daughter now (whereas I used to spend Saturday resenting the fact that I had to spend Sunday cleaning and doing laundry!)

It was the cost that held me back for so long, but now I just budget it in like any other bill every month and to be honest, I'm willing to give up a dinner out or another purchase to keep it - the rewards of time and less stress are a much bigger ROI!
