How to Get Your Family to Tidy Without Nagging (Ep 334)

Are you the only one in your house who notices the mess, and the only one who asks for help cleaning it up?

In this episode, I'm sharing how I stopped feeling like the nag in my own home. My family is great and happy to help. The hard part was carrying the remembering and the asking every single night. After our unexpected move into a much bigger house this summer, I knew something had to change.

In this episode:

• Why the person who notices the mess ends up doing the work
• Wanting someone to parent me, and why handing off the reminder helps so much
• Why 10 minutes works better than 5 (hello, underpromise and overdeliver)
• How a nightly tidy turned us into a team against the house
• The night we finished in 4 minutes and 38 seconds
• 3 steps to hand off the nightly reset, starting tonight

Tonight's homework: pick your reset spots, set a 10-minute timer and ask your family to join you for just 10 minutes.
