Lawn/yard maintenance and snow removal

If you still live in a home with a yard, you know the often backbreaking work involved in maintaining your property. From mowing grass to trimming hedges and branches from trees and raking leaves in the fall then shoveling snow in the winter. Some find this type of work enjoyable and a good form of exercise. However, as you age, it’s important to take a clear look at whether it’s still safe for you to be doing yardwork. Consider a compromise to outsource some tasks and keep the smaller more manageable ones so you still have a part in the work. Otherwise, this is a good chore to outsource to a lawn service company, snow removal service or even hire a local teen to cut grass and rake leaves.

Meal prep and cooking

OK some love to cook and it may even be a passion or hobby but others don’t and it falls squarely in the chore column. Consider purchasing ready-made meals or grocery items that make your meal prep easier like prechopped veggies. It may cost incrementally more, but the time spent prepping food to cook like washing veggies, chopping, etc. may be worth the ability to just pop everything in the pan or oven.

There are also numerous meal kit delivery services that offer premade, healthy meals to your front door with minimal effort on your part. Thanks to the wide variety, you can find a service that caters to your dietary needs and tastes from gluten free to vegan.
