Episode notes
No Definition of Housework
- There's no standardized definition of housework, making it hard to measure and study.
- This lack of clarity contributes to the persistent issue of unequal division of labor at home.
The Sunday Basket System
- Use a 'Sunday Basket' to collect tasks and ideas throughout the week, delaying decisions until Sunday.
- This frees up mental capacity during the week and allows for focused work.
Decluttering with Caution
- Decluttering can be helpful, but avoid over-decluttering out of a need for control.
- Sometimes, adding organizational tools can be more effective than simply getting rid of things.
