Tips

Series 2: Programme 7, Wednesday 15th April

Create a Roster for the Household Activities.
Do Housework together at specified times in one big effort.
Change 'should do' to 'can do'
Focus on the Positives. What have you achieved? What have you succeeded with?
When an unexpected problem arises write out a list of what you need to do in order to sort it out. Problems require plans. Dwelling on them doesn't help.
Engage in Open Communication. Let everyone else know the plan so that you can work everything in tandem with them.
Accept that you and your partner are different and pause before you respond.
Ask yourself 'How might they feel as a result of your response?'
Before taking on something new, ask yourself 'Do I really have time for this?' If you do then you should be able to know exactly when you will have time for it.
