Tip 21 Begin with small chores first to get everyones cooperation
If a huge job is assigned the first time, that person may tend to procrastinate. You may consider dividing up the chore in small parts.
Lets take re-painting the entire garage as an example. If your husband works the usual 8 hours a day, dont expect him to paint the whole garage on one weekend.
Remember that the old paint needs to come off, some sanding has to be done, and primer needs to be applied. If you have a closed, double-car garage, divide the job by walls, or by a quarter of a wall at a time.
That way your husband does not feel overwhelmed, forcing him to think of excuses to put it off.
For example, saying I will lose weight is NOT as powerful as I will lose 35 pounds in 1-1/2 years.
