When I'm working, this becomes even more important.
The list helped me to see how many home maintenance and big projects he takes on. Although on a day to day basis it may not appear he does as much as me, he does, just in a different way.
As for projects that I want done, he is happy to do them the way he wants to do them and when he wants to do them. Once he says he'll do something, I need to be patient and let him do it, even if it is days later. It will get done!

I like this list idea a lot. And for the same reason, to show me how many tasks the hub really does do, vs. my admittedly faulty perception.
Believe it or not, I really have worked to change my attitude in the recommended ways (although it's alien as hell, LOL!), and you know what? Things are happier on the homestead. Not perfect, but happier. Things are actually getting done, and I'm letting go of...resentment, I guess.
There you go, TFP: making my life better. :P Anybody wanna buy an endorsement? lol
