18
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: we were going through some tough times and let's face it,

19
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: we still are and here's what I know. We cannot

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: get through this alone. So please join me for more

Speaker 1: and help us find a path forward. This season, I'll

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: be talking about the state of our democracy with experts

24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: and with people organizing on the ground. We'll draw inspiration

25

Speaker 1: and me both on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcast,

30
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, This is Laura.

31
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast where we

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: share strategies for thriving in the new world of work,

33
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: where location and hours are more flexible than in the past.

34
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: Today's tip is about how to avoid the urge to

35
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: work on household chores during your designated work hours. You

36
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: aren't Cinderella, and just because you're working from home doesn't

37
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: mean you should structure your time to take on the

38
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: whole household's work. Working from home has a number of

39
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: undeniable benefits, including the fact that it often allows complete

40
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: or near complete control over one's immediate work environment. Want

41
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: a warmer temperature great, Want to burn a cinnamon scented candle,

42
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: or paint the walls bright pink awesome. However, this control

43
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: can sometimes have a time stealing flip side. When household

44
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: us as dirty dishes and unfolded laundry are part of

45
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: the view from your workstation, it can be tempting to

46
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: take breaks and tackle chores through the day. Many people

47
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: also assume that because they're skipping the daily commutant, thus

48
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: saving time, they should have no problem keeping a clean

49
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: house and getting more chores done during the day. If

50
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: other family members are not working from home, they may

51
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: not mind you turning into Cinderella. This temptation seems noble.

52
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: After all, cleaning and tidying feel productive, but it can

53
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: also undermine your ability to work on the things you

54
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: actually want to get done. When we fall prey to

55
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: the Cinderella effect and spend prime work hours flitting back

56
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: and forth between our desks and other household distractions, the

57
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: result is often a feeling of tiredness and dissatisfaction. At

58
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we feel as though we've

59
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: been working for hours but haven't gotten much done. Psychologists

60
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: have a term flow for the state in which a

61
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: person is in the zone adequately challenged and performing at

62
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: their best. Distractions prevent us from being able to enter

63
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: a flow state while we work, so if you want

64
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: to perform at your peak during the work day, it's

65
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: best to minimize them. One way to combat the Cinderella

66
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: effect is simply to set up your workspace so that

67
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: messes are out of sight and therefore out of mind.

68
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: This can be as easy as closing the door to

69
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: your office or even setting up your desk so that

70
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: it faces away from key distractor areas. Put the laundry elsewhere.

71
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: If you're working at the kitchen table, do not face

72
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: your sink. My desk faces a window, which is great

73
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: for many reasons, but one of them is that I

74
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: do not see the mess my children have created in

75
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: the house behind me. Clear communication with your family or

76
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: roommates can also be helpful. Set designated work hours and

77
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: make sure the people you live with understand that you

78
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: will not be doing any household chores during those hours.

79
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: Ask them to hold you accountable by reminding you of

80
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: this rule if they see you folding laundry at two

81
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: p m. And reach an understanding with household members that

82
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: just because you're working at home does not automatically mean

83
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: all housework is your job. It is definitely not your

84
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: full time job. You have another job. If other household

85
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: members do not routinely dust the baseboards in their offices,

86
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: then this shouldn't automatically be on your plate either. You

87
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: may decide, for practical reasons that it makes sense for

88
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: you to start dinner if other parties commute, but then

89
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: those folks could be responsible for the dishes afterwards. Over

90
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: the long run, it might make sense to outsource some

91
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: housework too. Yep, even if you're working at home. That way,

92
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: if you see a carpet that needs to be vacuumed,

93
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: you might feel a bit more relaxed knowing that it

94
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: isn't your job. The cleaning service will get to it

95
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: when they come tomorrow. Finally, you can counter the Cinderella

96
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: effect by lowering your standards. This will look different for

97
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: each of us. Perhaps you want the kitchen tidied every day,

98
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: but having clothes folded and put away at all times

99
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: as less of a priority. In any case, the house

100
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: will just get dirty again, but you will never get

101
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: that hour back. You don't want to live in squalor,

102
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: but no lived in house ever looks like a magazine.

103
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: I once had my house staged for something and the

104
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: designer removed the waste baskets. Trust me, you still need

105
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: those when you're working from home in the meantime. This

106
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,240

120
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: told him you hate your job and he said, well,

121
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: you better talk yourself out of it, and then you thought, hmm,

122
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: I love to talk. I could host a podcast. And

123
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,560

125

Speaker 1: then quit your boring job and told your dad thanks

126
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,400

127
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: what I meant and I don't understand what a podcast is,

00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: you actually don't. You always had the feeling that there's
