The Exigent Duality

This is startlingly good advice for wives out there.

Even though I've been working out of my home office for the past couple of years, I spent well over a decade doing the daily commute-office, stressful career grind: having the main path of the house all picked up, the noise minimized, the children cleaned up so I can give them big hugs, and a nice dinner on the table means that I can in turn be an equally wonderful husband and father.

The funny part is that those are the kinds of things which I sporadically maintain throughout the day, when I take my usual once-per-hour, ten minute stretch break-- so that when I'm done working for the day, the house and family is in that kind of state!
