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Challenging outdated gender norms creates space for both partners to live fuller, more balanced lives.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