Over the summer, we spent time cleaning and organizing our home inside and out. I discovered that I actually don’t mind household chores. But the journey from not minding them to crying over them happens quite swiftly. It’s that moment when it all becomes too damn much.

I have listened to a lot of friends vent about their jobs. The common theme is not that they don’t like their jobs, it’s that they don’t like the feeling when they have too much flippin’ work for one person to accomplish.

Our children have been doing chores for years, but the reality is, they could do more. I have to be careful not to model martyrdom at home or at work. Moreover, with delegation comes the opportunity to give others dignity. And for that reason, delegation feels like the perfect antidote to my martyrdom.

While teaching a man to fish takes patience and time, it’s very often time well spent. Are there places in your life that you can better share the load? I’d love to hear from you in the comment section below. Also, if you comment, don’t forget to check back in. I try my best to reply to everyone.
