Plan a simple household week

I already know this — skip it

What is it?

Choose a workable set of household tasks.

Why would I need this?

This practice helps you make your own next step clearer and easier to discuss.

Show me.

  1. List the tasks you actually need this week.
  2. Separate daily needs from tasks that can wait.
  3. Choose a time and the supplies needed for each task.
  4. Leave one open block for changes.

Try it.

Make a three-task weekly plan.

Watch out for this.

A plan with no spare time may need simplifying.

Explain this another way

Try the exercise aloud, on paper, or with someone you choose.

Show me an example
