Make your own lottery

To motivate the family to do househod chores, make your own lottery. Take some postit notes and cut them in four strips. Then write a small prize, such as massage, sleep-in morning, or breakfast in bed, roll it together so the glue side closes it. The family can get one per chore, or one per ten chores.

8 to be great: passion

Richard St John has done amazing work on how to achieve success, and I am trying to implement his thoughts on housekeeping.
His first to trait to achieve success is passion.ANd actually, there is a strong connection between the housework being done and spouse attraction. Doing the dishes is the best foreplay they say... If that link is solidly implanted, your house will be clean as never before!

Carkeeping

Cars are great energysteelers. They need to be washed, fueled, serviced, wiped of snow. Still, it is not on the top of my agenda, which means that it always nagging in the back of my head as something that needs to be done. Whenever I get the car back from my partner, the tank is empty. And when it is empty, there is never the right time to fill it.
I guess it all boils down to simple GTD- do it when it needs to be done and don´t whine about it.
