@skylar @sickburnbro @Type_Other @WoodshopHandman No, you are right.
Yet my mother is chronically miserable, even when the dishwasher and the washer make her live a lot less labourious.
Making things easier isn't what makes you happy. You derive enjoyment out of figuring out how to make things easier.

But never have I ever had a day where I did the dishes by hand and cooked myself a meal, where I regretted the task. The feeling of bored before doing the task is all about thinking of the ''bad things'' about it.
Yet the moment I think of how free my mind will be once it's done and things are set, I am more than eager to do it and to do it well.
