If you're in a benevolent mood, give her two or three simple tasks you can get done in a short amount of time, but stick to your guns and get on with your day.

And be sure to use the "Scotty System" for estimating how long it will take to complete each task.

The above does not work if she is also a Trekkie.

That's sound advice...but if she SEES you get the work done in 1/4th the time, she'll insist that you fill up the time you gave her with other chores.

I have tried that already, and Mrs. SicOne was hip to my bullshit from the get-go. I only do that when she's not able to witness the task at hand.
