12 Chores Norwegian Women Stop Doing After 50 — That Americans Still Do Every Day

📗 Save $299 This Month With The Complete Norwegian Book Set: https://thenorwegianliving.com/ Stop paying for things your home never needed. From the kitchen to the bathroom, the front door to the long dark winter — every room, every season, one simple way of living. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ In the autumn of 2014, the week our daughter moved out, my wife Marit sat down at our kitchen table and wrote a list of every chore in our house she was going to stop doing. She was fifty-one. She has lived by that list for more than ten years, and it has given her back something like a whole day every week. These are the 12 chores on it — the ones Norwegian women very often simply stop doing around fifty, while so many American women are still doing every one of them, every day. And I'll be honest with you: a few of them she stopped because they were pointless, and a few she stopped because it was time the rest of us picked them up. I'll tell you which is which. You'll see why Norwegian beds take fifteen seconds to make, why most of what you vacuum walked in through your front door, how much of a mother's life disappears into a car — and the heaviest chore on the list, which isn't one you can see at all. I'm Lars. I grew up in Norway, spent thirteen years in Minneapolis, and came home in 2011. None of this is about working harder. It's about working less on things that never mattered, and sharing what's left. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Tell me in the comments — which of these twelve are you still doing, and which one are you going to stop first? And if you've already made your own list, tell me what was on it. The stories you leave are what I go deep on next. That's the Norwegian way.
