I think as we get older, the trick is not so much to work less it is to work smarter.
I never move from one part of the kitchen or to one part of the house with empty hands. I make every trip count.
One thing that I have started to do is to set up a tray before I start to finish my dinner with everything to set the table. Plates, silverware, napkins, and all my serving spoons that I will be using. That way I have one trip to the table and done.
