I went out to eat with my kids.
Yes—it was expensive.
But I didn’t have to cook. I didn’t have to do dishes.
That’s the convenience tax. You pay extra for time, ease, and less effort.
Don’t avoid convenience. But don’t drift too far into it either.
Deploy it strategically—when the tradeoff is worth it.
Sometimes you need to save time and energy.
Sometimes you’re able to DIY.
Use both. Strategically.
