4. A load a day

​Get at least one small task done on your daily to do list. These tasks include small repairs, social phone calls, social visits, prep for an upcoming festival or event, etc. These tasks have a way of making you feel overwhelmed. It is always better to get small load done every day. Also, in case you have delegated certain tasks from your to do list, ensure that you follow it up and get it done.

5. Distribution of Chores

​Everyone in the house must take responsibility of one or the other chores. Even younger kids can pitch in with the smaller tasks like taking the laundry load and folding it. You can even start introducing family meetings to ensure that the chores are planned and performed properly.

6. Carrots for job well done

​Introduce some rewards for tasks well done. You can treat yourself with a shopping trip. Or you can gift your husband with a spa date. Let these treats act as an additional motivation.
