Own Household Tasks (Without Resentment)

Pick something and own it. Don't do it for credit. Don't do it to be thanked. Do it because it needs doing and you're a partner.

Why This Matters

If you're doing household tasks for credit or to be thanked, you're missing the point. These things need doing. You're a partner. Own them. Do them because they need doing, not because you want recognition.

The Secret: Own It

Pick something. Own it. It's yours now. You do it. Not because you're asked. Not because you want credit. Because it needs doing.

What to Own

1. Pick Something Specific

Taking out the trash
Doing the dishes
Handling laundry
Cleaning the bathrooms
Mowing the lawn
Whatever needs doing

2. Own It Completely

It's yours. You do it. You don't wait to be asked. You don't do it sometimes. You own it.

3. Do It Without Resentment

Don't do it and then complain. Don't do it and expect credit. Just do it. It needs doing. You're doing it.

How to Actually Do It

1. Pick Something

Look around. What needs doing regularly? Pick something.

2. Own It

This is yours now. You do it. Not sometimes. Always.

3. Do It Without Fanfare

Don't announce it. Don't expect credit. Just do it.

Common Mistakes

Doing it for credit: Don't do it to be thanked. Do it because it needs doing.

Doing it sometimes: Own it. Do it consistently.

Complaining about it: Don't do it and then complain. Just do it.

Waiting to be asked: Don't wait. Just do it.

The Win

You own a household task. You do it consistently. You don't do it for credit. You do it because it needs doing. That's a win.
