Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Housekeeping: Efficiency Studies in Home Management
A moderate income, two babies, and constant demands on my time, was the situation that faced me several years ago.
I liked housework, and was especially fond of cooking; but the deadening point about the whole situation was that I never seemed to finish my work, never seemed to "get anywhere," and that I almost never had any leisure time to myself.
I wanted to read a bit, or write out some ideas I had been thinking about, or take a half hour for personal grooming. If I devoted my day to cooking, I was appalled later at the confusion and dirt I had neglected. If I specialized on cleaning, our meals were hurried and ill-prepared. If I tried to do justice to both cleaning and preparing of meals, I quite certainly neglected the babies and myself.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the application of the emerging science of efficiency to the world of household tasks. Drawing upon the principles of "scientific management" developed for factories and businesses, the author delves into the seemingly mundane aspects of daily life, analyzing how even simple actions like washing dishes or ironing clothes can be optimized for speed and ease. The author argues that by applying the principles of motion study and task standardization, women can reclaim their time and energy, transforming what was once a drudgery into a more manageable and even fulfilling endeavor. The book goes beyond simply suggesting new tools or gadgets, focusing instead on the importance of planning, organization, and understanding the proper arrangement of equipment in the kitchen to minimize wasted movement and effort. The bookââ â¢s insights offer a unique and insightful perspective on the challenges and possibilities of homemaking, revealing how a scientific approach can unlock a more efficient and fulfilling domestic life for women.
