On other occasions you would not feel like working. You would not force yourself to work on those occasions, for your natural need for play of some kind —outings or guests—would then assert themselves. You would enjoy chores done then, for your body and mind would both be refreshed by the different activities.

It means trusting yourself, following your own rhythms, riding the thrust, the aggressive and joyful thrust of your creativity full blast, so to speak. But it also means no artificial rules. It is simplistic to say that you need food to work, and yet going out into the world in such a manner does indeed become its own creative endeavor when it is clearly embarked upon. If you follow my advice, a natural balance will result. The chores will get done, but they will no longer be chores. Your guests will be enjoyed because you will see them when you naturally feel so inclined.

Then you do not resent the afternoon rackets, but accept neighborhood noises as the world’s activity, and it becomes—though you will not believe me—a refreshing and needed counterpoint. Otherwise you find yourselves never fully pleased with what you are doing while you are doing it, and caught up in circles of resentment. You deny yourselves, say, guests when you feel like having them, because you have already done chores that did not particularly need to be done, because you thought you should, when you felt like working.
