I'm still piecing all the concepts together but I really really wish the dishes would put themselves into the washer, remove and stack themselves, and that the laundry would magically get sorted, washed (coin-op option only, here), and folded without my coming near them. And without spending a fortune on outsourcing at the laundromat. You seem to have minimized those chores by batching ... so were you super meticulous with time tracking when you decided to try out 4HWW? How do you avoid distractions / ADD?

I think a lot of them are based on voice record, where you phone in. You might also be able to fax handwritten notes. @PreSchool Mama – you could also try googling “online transcription service” for some leads.

It would be great if you could share more of your experiences of outsourcing on your blog. @Cindy - I've thought about the Roomba, but it's had such mixed reviews. If I can find a used one, I may go for it, but it's a little pricey to get new. @PreSchool Mama – great comments.
