WebCudgel suggests a technique for making sure everyone in your household pitches in: Write up work orders for your family members.
Now, when Toni needs Dan to do something around the house, she just creates a workorder like he normally would for a client and this now sits in his stack of work to do. It makes the request more official in his mind and it actually has more importance in his daily routine.
I think if you have the kind of family who would actually agree to this, you're anal retentive enough that household chores aren't an issue.... Underdog and Spork: Please re-fluff all folded towels and organize by size, with sub-categorization by color.
