Old horse.

Classic women's perspective: Reminding others of items on your mental to-do list. Items not necessarily agreed upon, but things you've at least mentioned before, heard "uh huh, sure dear", and they'd sure be nice if they were done.
Classic men's perspective: Others making you mental with their to-do list reminders. Reminders of things you may have agreed to, but it was probably under duress of said list-keeper standing between you and a sporting event.
To both: Participate. Make a list, agree on it. Expectations are key.
To Women: Write it down, say it once, move on.
To Men: Get it done or don't agree to it.
From the Western USA

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent.

If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
