Does anyone you know actually chop wood or carry water? The modern equivalent is washing the dishes.

No matter how much success you achieve in any domain the dishes will always be there as a chore. Even Jess Bezos apparently does this.

Sure you can hire someone, but do you really want to pay money to another aspect of the universe to invade your personal privacy every night to save you a few minutes of a menial task?

Every time I started a new job, the commute seemed long in the beginning. But after a few weeks it just became part of my day. Dishes however have always been a source of constant background burden.

Once a burden becomes part of the pattern of you, it no longer is “heavy” because there’s no separate “you” that carries the burden.

It’s like drinking all water and eating all the food so you don’t have to carry it.
