Happy New Year!

I found RP about 3 months ago. It has been eye opening. I'll save you all the life changing bull shit. I've still got a long way to go... progress is being made. I posted on the RP forum a few weeks ago and got a lot of good feedback. Some of my background is there if you think it will be useful to answer this question.

I plan to implement improved family organization in the new year. I realize I need to make this process my own, and keep it fun and positive with the family. However, I figure a group of low BF badasses like yourselves will have some valuable input I can build upon.

I'm not looking for stuff like "find your why", "set goals", and other long term vision stuff. I get that, I have most of that nailed down. There are tons of posts on MRP about that.

I'm looking for specific daily, weekly, monthly tactics and tools. I'm looking for systems. I run a company and use daily scrums and weekly check ins with my direct reports. Obviously the dynamic is different in a family, but I believe a lot of the same principles apply.

Questions:

  • Do you hold a family meeting

    • How often

    • What is the agenda

  • How do you keep notes on who is accountable for what (Do you assign responsibilities are let people volunteer)

  • Do you utilize some sort of chore chart (whiteboard, google doc, an app)

  • How do you track family scheduling (google calendar, fridge calendar...)

  • How do right the ship when life happens?

  • Book recommendations on this topic?

  • Tools - Apps, planners, web resources

I have 2 daughters 6 and 9. Old enough to to own their part of this. Wife and I are busy like everyone, but this is a priority and I will make sure we follow through.

Thanks in advance.
