re: Why are women incapable of sitting still / relaxing?

She wants you to join her in Crossfit.

Careful on the swimming portion.

Grouping every female into one category doesn't seem wise

Sage advice but wisdom is far from the tOT's raison d'etre.

And having a dream that you cheated on her which she will be angry at you for the next day.

Might have add. Having my daughter tested. She'll do little cheer routines while you're talking to her. Took her to a movie last week and she was fidgety, stood up once, and said I lovd to her mom like 8 times trying to get engaged in conversation. I had it bad as a kid, so I'm not surprised 2 of the 5 got it. I had twins and one of them def has it.

All my wife does is sit still.

Mine is much the same.

The only time mine is perfectly still is when we are having sex. She’s weird like that.

quote:

Even when I helped with the chores, they didn’t meet the standard she set. Once we figured this out things were better.

and let me guess, she then accused you of doing it "wrong" on purpose just so you could get out of it in the future?

Hiring a housecleaner was one of the greatest investments I made with my disposable income

This was a deal I made with my wife. If she works full time (school nurse), we can have someone clean the house
bi-monthly. Both of us are happy with it.

I do most of the yard work, almost all of the house work and work full time and a part time job.

I’m a little ocd and like things neater and tidier than my family, so I try not to impose my own standards on them and just find it easier to do it myself.

So when I do sit down- I immediately think of something else I wanted to get clean/tidy or whatever.

I don’t mind when my ppl are relaxing and I’m tinkering though. Although it does drive them crazy that I cannot sit still

I know this is probably a waste of time, but you need to create time blocs for this particular behavior and make lists, but, most importantly, understand that list-making is about also creating a triage. There are certain "must do" things on the list within the time bloc, but not everything may get gone ("might dos").

When you work at this system, you'll get better at timing your behaviors on the list to make appropriate lists for the time bloc.

You also have to have a time bloc where you don't do stuff on the list. ultimately, you should have your "calendar" split between light work, deep work, household chores/errands, light relaxation, deep relaxation, and mind rot (social media, typically, or trash TV like reality stuff).
