1. Keep as much help around you that you can afford.
This is the best part about living in India.you can get a lady to massage you,another for the baby,one to cook and clean for you and another to do your ironing.
Make sure you train them to stand in for one another in case of absenteeism and have multiple helps for different chores so that if one doesn’t turn up only one job will suffer.
