As a remote worker, my obstacles, both technical and personal, are often brought to resolution through washing the dishes, or some similar task.<p>Our ability as humans to take a problem and insert space between it's demands for attention and the furnishing of such attention is one of our most powerful gifts. Housework is a wonderful and perpetually available tool for this.
