Recommendation

The lion’s share of household responsibilities fell to Eve Rodsky after giving birth to her first child. She felt exhausted and overextended. The experience prompted Rodsky to create a system to rebalance the domestic workload. Based on hundreds of interviews with couples, extensive research into domestic inequality and input from an array of experts, she, with the help of her friends, created Fair Play, a life-management system that rebalances domestic responsibilities, and creates more efficiency and harmony within your home.

Take-Aways

  • After becoming mothers, many women take on the lion’s share of the domestic workload.
  • “Invisible work” – the myriad domestic tasks demanding time and effort – falls disproportionately on women.
  • An unencumbered mind is a luxury unavailable to many moms due to a never-ending to-do list.
