Everything is light. I am a part of the light

“Everything is light. I am a part of the light, and that is music. Light fills my six senses: I see it, hear it, taste it, smell it, touch it... and think it. Thinking is my sixth sense. Particles of light are written as notes. Light is the fundamental source of creation. Within one of its rays lies the destiny of nations. Each nation has its own ray within this great source of light that we see as the Sun." - Nikola Tesla

Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live)

Here are 10 wonderful lessons from Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) by Eve Rodsky:

1. Invisible Labor Must Be Seen and Valued

Much of the domestic workload—especially planning, organizing, and remembering—is invisible and often falls on women. Recognizing this labour is the first step toward fairness.

2. Fair Doesn’t Mean Equal, It Means Equitable

The goal isn't necessarily a 50/50 split, but a system where responsibilities are clearly defined and agreed upon in a way that feels fair to both partners.

3. Communication Is the Foundation of Partnership

Open, respectful conversations about household roles and expectations are key to avoiding resentment and promoting shared responsibility.

4. Ownership Beats Delegation

The “CPE” (Conception, Planning, Execution) model shows that tasks should be owned fully by one person from start to finish—not just delegated halfway.

5. Redefining Traditional Gender Roles is Empowering

Challenging outdated gender norms creates space for both partners to live fuller, more balanced lives.

6. Your Time Matters as Much as Your Partner’s

Recognizing that everyone’s time is equally valuable fosters mutual respect and reduces the burnout that often stems from imbalance.

7. Boundaries Are Essential for Self and Family

Setting boundaries around time, tasks, and expectations allows for healthier relationships and personal well-being.

8. The Cards System Encourages Clarity and Accountability

Rodsky’s system of “cards” for household tasks helps couples divide and track responsibilities, reducing conflict and confusion.

9. Play is Not Optional—It’s Vital

Making time for personal interests and joyful activities is necessary, not selfish. It helps individuals feel fulfilled and strengthens relationships.

10. Systems Prevent Stress

Having an intentional, structured system for managing domestic responsibilities reduces mental load and allows families to function more peacefully.
