The fastest route to fewer chores for you when you're working from home! Hint: it involves delegating to your kids
Description
Want to know the fastest way to get rid of your chores?
Dump them on the kids. (I’m only half-joking here.)
Seriously – the quickest route to you doing less work as a mom is to get other people in on the game.
To turn yourself into a middle manager of sorts who helps other people (like, little people) get chores done while you yourself don’t lift a finger in the process.
(Okay, okay, you will have to lift those fingers as you’re demonstrating the correct way to spray the mirror.)
Interested? I thought so.
Let’s take a closer look at the chore delegation process.
What you’ll learn:
· The first thing you want to do is make a comprehensive list of what you’re doing
· Why are you the person dusting the bookshelves? Does it have to be you?
· You need more help, they need more life skills.
And presto, you’ve got your new system! One where you’re doing far fewer chores than you used to.
Think about it – life without a mountain of housekeeping, cooking, and maintenance chores every single day.
Doesn’t that sound enticing? Isn’t that worth working toward?
I’d say it is – and I bet you would do.
So write up that chore list, parcel it out between the kids (and yourself – sharp knives, remember?), and put in the work upfront to teach them how to do everything.
Your delegation strategy is succeeding.
You’ve got this!
