• List every chore and errand. Set aside time to draw up the list and do it in a place that's easy for everyone to see and access, like a shared notes app, a spreadsheet, or a whiteboard. Include essential tasks like washing dishes or taking the kids to school and errands like grocery shopping or picking up the dry cleaning but don't forget to add tasks that might be less visible, such as coordinating carpools or writing thank you cards;
• Narrow down the list. Once you have the list, discuss each item with your partner or your housemate. Go through the tasks and note who's been typically responsible for each one. Create a shortlist of essential duties and cut unnecessary tasks. Then set clear expectations of how and when a task should be done. However, stay flexible. Your chore list is bound to change;
• Assign the tasks. While you may not be able to divide the chores exactly 50-50, aim for a workload that feels fair to each member of the household. Own the tasks you love and share the ones that feel the most burdensome;
• Be fully responsible for your duties. Don't expect your significant other or roommate to pick up the slack if you can't complete the task. It's your responsibility to account for what you need and they are depending on you.
