To do less, it is quite important to decide what not to do. To find this area, ask yourself where you can have a bigger tolerance for filth than the rest of the family. Maybe you can buy new clothes instead of washing? Or avert your eyes from the dishes... Once you have found one area, ask someone else in the family to take care of it for you. It might help if you offer to something else instead (that you probalby will do anyways) Then wait. Make sure you continue to waite. Hopefully your family consists of intelligent people, and when they see the debris wuild up they eventually get the message and start organising themselves. Whenever you feel like pitching in, clean some other part of the house instead. The cleaner the other parts are, the more obvious it will be what isn´t done. If they do the job properly, give them their reward...
In this way, I have so far managed to be freed of doing the laundry, and am now starting on the dishes. Instead, I do most cooking (it is a blessing, I love cooking!) and shopping, which I do anyways. It is good to keep an eye on the expenses.
