Episode notes
Use Group Texts For Weekly Updates
- Use a family group text for weekly updates because teens check texts more than calendars.
- Send one weekly summary and text only changes to reduce noise and reliance on apps.
Make The Problem Smaller
- Not every task needs a routine; respond when needed for low-priority chores.
- Reduce friction by making the leftover problem smaller rather than micromanaging fridge cleanouts.
Combine Movement With Chores
- Combine movement with existing tidying routines by dancing or doing quick exercises between rooms.
- Start small and fun to avoid treating movement like a chore you must dread.
