Simple, but powerful: Wear an apron

9/12/2018

Welcome to Rock it Wednesday!

There’s something about tying on an apron that says, “Things are about to get done around here.”

You're dressed for chores success. Hey, there's hard evidence on this. How we dress affects how powerful we feel and how we perform.

This is how it works for me ... one minute, I am dragging in from work, and the next I am aproned-upped and ready to go. Bring on those veggies that need chopping. Let’s do this!

It’s hard to feel lazy in an apron.

I shared this tip with a friend, and she suggested her own twist, "Wear just an apron!" I told her this wasn't that kind of blog. But, hey, that could get productive too.

So, embrace the apron. Feel its power.

P.S. Who thinks Rock Your Chores aprons would be a good idea?? Anyone? Let me know in the comments.

Real men wear aprons
My dad had an impressive apron collection. If Larry was wearing an apron, it meant he wasn’t messing around. He had serious business in the kitchen. I feel a special kind of productive mojo when I wear an apron and think of him. I try to do it and you proud, Dad.

I have all my grandma Lillian's aprons. Wear them everyday at school when I cook for the kiddos!

Awe! That's super sweet. Aprons also remind me of our days at the Burger Hut.

It made sense when you wrote that the way we dress affects our performance and feelings. My daughter is having culinary training since she wants to improve her cooking skills. I am thinking of gifting her with a criss-cross back apron with pockets to show my support for her.
