Or you exchange that money for other people to do those chores. Home cleaning services, landscapers, electricians, plumbers, car mechanics and drivers (including Uber/Lyft/taxi), cooks or restaurant/takeout food (often plus a third party to deliver same), nannies, dog walkers, and so on. Specialization is the name of the game. I can do some of these things myself, but I can also earn enough in one hour to pay for multiple hours of other people's time and expertise (and amortized equipment). That's a pretty big win compared to a 14th-century tradesperson, or even most nobles.

When the Industrial Revolution was starting that can't have been the trade-off anyone had in mind, because none of those things had been invented.

It wasn't. But the article is comparing points in time (14th century vs. 21st century), so the path from one to the other doesn't matter for this discussion.
