Is your chore system boring, broken, or just barely hanging on? In this week's episode, Mystie Winckler explains why treating housework like a board game—not a machine—can radically change how you engage with your homemaking routines. Instead of striving for sameness or perfection, you’ll discover how playful strategy leads to greater joy, engagement, and flexibility.
🎯 What if your chore plan didn’t need to “work forever”—just work for this round?

Why sameness is the wrong goal
How to think like a strategist, not a robot
