On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dive into the never-ending battle that unites couples everywhere: housework. Inspired by a viral wedding in China where one newlywed couple literally stepped into a wrestling ring on their big day to decide who would be “exempt” from chores for life, we unpack just how far people are willing to go to settle the great domestic divide. From body slams to laundry loads, this outrageous wedding stunt sparks a bigger conversation many households know all too well: what’s actually the fairest way to divide chores at home? Should it be 50-50, based on income, free time, or simply whoever complains less? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jessica Grose, opinion writer at The New York Times, discusses the still-mostly-unequal division of household labor. Photo: Two women wash dishes in a kitchen in Australia in 1944.

Utdrag ur avsnitt för Flammans prenumeranter. Häxorna behöver upprättelse! Silvia Federici återkommer ständigt i sina skrifter om kapitalets krig mot kvinnorna. Från häxbålen vid kapitalismens födelse, det oavlönade hemarbetet i kärnfamiljen fram till kvinnorna i Nigerias antikoloniala kamp för livsnödiga allmänningar följer Federici ett gemensamt mönster: klasskampen i den sociala reproduktionen. Hon har lyft det i kampanjer som Wages for Housework och tidskrifter som Midnight Notes. Shabane Barot har skrivit om Federici i nya antologin Samtida marxistisk teori och Tania Preste håller i en studiecirkel på Federicis klassiker Caliban and the Witch. I detta avsnitt för tidningen Flammans prenumeranter fortsätter Apans anatomi serien om nutida marxister.

Recently, I found myself asking "How did I get here?" I have more laundry somehow. So I thought about it and wanted to share how when your family changes it has ripple effects on your housework cadence and functionality. So, how did I get here? Don't Get Oversold First of all, I wanted to share that I have yet again gotten a new wash machine and dryer. I shared the many reasons for the upgrade, if you call it that. I am now using two black Speed Queen machines that look like they are from the 1960's and I couldn't be happier. Now, I can add clothes mid wash, throw an item in just the dryer, shimmy them if I want, our clothes smell amazing, and get washed quickly, not delicately, but quickly!  (If you know you know) I really wish I had not listened to the sales person each time and gotten these machines in the first place. Do not let yourself get oversold into bells and whistles you don't need. Take it from me. Learn from my costly mistakes. Ok so now I have the correct machines for my liking.  Household Changes In the last 120 days, a few things have changed that have broken my clothes washing cadence. The first one being my mother in law broke a vertebra. We have been going to her house for Sunday dinner. If we leave when I am in the middle of the wash I forget all about it by the time we are back home.  Next, I have a new grandson. I am helping my daughter a lot with Grayson so she can tend to herself and her new baby which indirectly has caused more laundry so I find I am not completing it over the weekend as I normally had been. And I am no longer doing the PhD so I want to find a new laundry cadence.  So Friday night I got ready to throw in my "littles" load and low and behold the wash machine was already half full, but how? Grayson has been coming up in his jammies so when he changes I have him throw his clothes right in the washer. Then when he takes a bath, again, he throws his clothes into the washer. And since the washer is on the same level the family hangs out on, burp clothes and stuff go into it. That's how I got here with 4-5 loads to do each week.  Now I could send all those clothes down to Abby but honestly laundry is not her friend and since the new baby she continues to stay behind. In fact she asked "How do you keep up on laundry and cleaning?" I shared the tips I shared with her in this episode for you too. I like doing laundry. It's not a problem, just a change in our family. I'm trying to find a new cadence and figure out this line drying thing. Like, do LuLu Lemon clothes really need to be line dried? Give it to me straight.  Trial Run -> Habit I think the reason why it takes most people a year and a half to complete The Productive Home Solution is this trial run discovery time before we can really tackle the goal. They spend the first trimester trying out different times to organize until it starts to become a habit to organize at a specific time. Then the next planning day they focus on a new goal because the organization time is "set."  So the new plan is to trial run my idea of doing laundry on the mornings that I take Grayson to school. I will see if that works and continue to tweak for the month of May. This is what I will propose to myself on Planning Day. Hopefully by June, the kinks will be worked out and I will be off and running outside to play while still getting laundry done! This is the level I want you to think about the housework you do everyday and how it affects your family. What has changed in the last 120 days for your family and what systems are broken as a result? Join me for Planning Day and get a plan in place.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Productive Home Solution Sign Up for Planning Day Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

#326. We're back after a few weeks off! We begin with that explanation and honorable nod to Dillon and Kory's grandfather. We share some of what we've been up to the past few weeks, then we get into discussing doing home projects with your spouse and what it looks like when plans aren't aligned. For example, maybe we shouldn't plant new trees until Kory is done digging himself a hole. Also, Kory has had a lot of traveling going on and he shares some stories of two of new favorite places, Amsterdam and Austin. He kept it weird at the Comedy Mothership and kept it lonely on his car ride back to the hotel. You're also going to want to hear some of what we've been streaming: Trust Me.

It is more likely your definition of housework itself.In this workshop, I walk through the 3 Rs of meaningful housework: read, respond, repeat.

Homemaking is not about keeping a show house. It is about tending a lived-in home with clarity, responsibility, and a cheerful attitude.In this workshop, we cover: why cleaning routines and checklists often do not stick  the perfectionist assumptions that make housework harder  why your home is a tool, not a trophy  how to stop treating your home like an Airbnb  what it means to read the room and respond appropriately  why repetition is not failure, but the nature of homemaking If you are a stay-at-home mom trying to manage housework, homemaking, and family life without resentment or overwhelm, this workshop will help you reframe the work and move forward with a better mindset.

They talk about setting healthy boundaries in family relationships, shifting long-standing dynamics, and still showing love in practical ways (hello, Walmart runs!). Shelly also shares how organizing her closet has transformed her morning routine, proving that small habits and simple systems can create big mindset shifts.The conversation flows into career confidence, dealing with difficult customers at work, and building self-worth through tools like Shelly's affirmation wall. They also touch on prioritizing annual medical appointments, creating hobbies that feel joyful instead of heavy, and the realities of the traditional gender divide in housework.

Hey Clutterbugs! Decluttering your home, reducing the mental load, and stopping fights about housework starts with better home organization systems and clearer communication. In today's episode, I'm sharing practical decluttering tips, family organizing systems, and relationship communication tools to reduce resentment, so that you don't need a “perfect” house, just one that supports you. Ever thought, “Why am I the only one who notices the mess?” This episode is for you. I'm breaking down the truth nobody says out loud: your home setup is often half the problem, and the other half is the way we talk about chores, clutter, and what we actually need underneath the tasks. I'm borrowing ideas from the Gottman Method (think “bids for connection” and why it's never really about the dishes) and applying them to your home so you can reduce conflict, lower stress, and feel like a team again. We'll do a quick “resentment brain dump,” figure out what's a system problem vs a communication problem, and build simple, realistic solutions that work for your whole family.

Housework feels dull and monotonous when we forget why we're doing it.In this episode of Simply Convivial, I read chapter one of my newly released book Home Is for Hospitality: Why Your Home and Homemaking Matter. This chapter lays the foundation for the entire book: your home is on a mission, and hospitality is that mission.Homemaking isn't about aesthetics, guilt, or proving your worth. It's about stewarding the place God has given you to shape people—your family, your guests, and yourself—in love and faithfulness.In this reading, you'll hear:Why housework feels meaningless without purposeHow hospitality reframes everyday choresWhy homemaking reflects God's own work in the worldHow homes function as centers for discipleship

Baroness Amos, who was appointed by the Health Secretary to lead an independent rapid investigation into NHS maternity and neonatal care in England, has said nothing prepared her for the scale of 'unacceptable care' that women and families have received. Presenter Krupa Padhy is joined by the BBC's Social Affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan and Theo Clarke, former Conservative MP who also chaired the UK Birth Trauma Inquiry and hosts the podcast, Breaking the Taboo, to discuss the review and what comes next.Wages for housework was a feminist mantra in the West in the 1970s – feminist campaigners arguing for recognition of the economic value of domestic labour. The debate has been revived in India over the last decade with an estimated 118 million women across 12 states now receiving unconditional cash transfers from their governments. Devina Gupta, a reporter based in Delhi, and Professor Prabha Kotiswaran from King's College in London unpick the impact of ‘wages for housework' on women's lives and the Indian economy.When Kaitlin Lawrence was just 22 years old, she collapsed whilst playing netball for the then Super League side Surrey Storm. She was eventually diagnosed with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a genetic condition she never knew she had. Following this, she was forced to give up her dream of playing professionally for Scotland and has gone on to successfully campaign to get cardiac screening introduced in the Netball Super League next season. She tells Anita her story. They were joined by Presenter Gabby Logan, whose younger brother died suddenly at the age of 15 years old from an undiagnosed heart condition. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.A new report highlights the crucial role of strength training and exercise for people on weight loss drugs. Data gathered by fitness professionals, Les Mills and the not-for-profit industry body, ukactive, shows the impact of weight loss drugs on skeletal muscle mass. Their report says that 20-50% of weight loss is lean body mass, which poses significant health risks such as frailty, disability, reduced metabolism, and increased mortality. Physiotherapist Lucy McDonald and Dr Sarah Jarvis join Krupa to discuss the importance of strength training to mitigate muscle loss.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

In this episode of First Round's On Me, Hannah sits down one-on-one with Tracy Sokat — dancer, content creator, founding trainer at Housework, and co-host of Fit Happens — for a deep, vulnerable conversation about fitness, confidence, body image, GLP-1 culture, and what it actually means to feel good in your skin.Tracy opens up about her journey from dance to teaching, the power of movement as community, and why fitness is just as much mental as it is physical. They explore GLP-1s and the new body conversation, transparency in a social-media-driven world, the psychology of comparison, and how to build confidence from the inside out.This episode is full of honesty, softness, humor, and wisdom — the kind of conversation that leaves you thinking long after it ends.

Across the globe in the 1970s, a network of feminists distilled their struggles into a single demand: Wages for Housework! Today, it remains a provocative idea, and an unfulfilled promise.  In Wages for Housework: The Story of a Movement, an Idea, a Promise (Penguin/Seal Press 2025), historian Emily Callaci tells the story of this campaign by exploring the lives and ideas of its key creators – Selma James, Mariarosa Dalla Costa, Silvia Federici, Wilmette Brown, and Margaret Prescod - tracing their wildly creative political vision over the past five decades. Drawing on new archival research and extensive interviews, Callaci takes us deep inside the heart of the movement as it reached across Europe, America, Africa and the Caribbean. For these women, the wage was more than a demand for money: it was a starting point for remaking the world as we know it, imagining potential futures under capitalism – and beyond. Then as now, Wages for Housework poses profound questions. What would it be like to live in a society that prioritizes care rather than production? How would this change our relationship with the natural world? And what would women do with their lives if they had more time? Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you ever have fights with your partner about who does more of the housework and whether it's fair? Well data might have the answer. Corinne Low is an associate professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. She analyses surveys of how people spend their time, particularly in terms of “home production” - that is things like cooking and cleaning, and “market work”, that is, paid work. If you're the male half of a heterosexual couple, then she's got some stats you should hear.Tim sat down to talk it all over while Corinne was in the UK to promote her new book on the subject - titled Femonomics in the UK, and Having It All in the US.Presenter: Tim Harford Series producer: Tom Colls Production co-ordinator: Janet Staples Sound mix: Giles Aspen Editor: Richard Vadon

I really love Lillian Gilbreth's focus on efficiency for the American home. I'd like to think I'm picking up where she left off. After the war, “men took back their jobs.” But did it ever occur to you that women worked at these factories and there were dual income homes before the war? It had not occurred to me.  I wanted to be home but some women wanted to be at work, working in their uniqueness making a paycheck. Now that the soldiers had returned to work, more women were home, the big packaged food companies marketed to her about how to make her life easier.   Past Mistakes In the past science has just determined the definition of housework and completed their studies based on it. And human nature is to do the household tasks of your gender, as you saw displayed growing up.  But there's a new sheriff in town and I asked the public how they defined housework and I am so excited to publish my findings. In conducting studies in the past they also used a convenience sample group for their studies; like all college students.  This gave skewed results.  In one study, they used married couples with children. This also resulted in what I call “He said, She said” about who is doing what housework. And who is doing more. That convenience sample was ok in the 80's because that was roughly 60% of the population; married with children. But now? Married with children only represents roughly 25% of the population. My sample groups will be large and mimic the US Census to accurately reflect the general public.  I want to be able to focus on teaching efficiency for all genders, all ethnicities, and all family compositions. Because I want a single mom, a multigenerational home, or a nuclear family to learn how to get organized, leading to productivity, that reduces household work. 1 Problem 1 Product It's easy to want to solve one product for one problem but there's an underlying problem. This is how people try to start to organize often. I used a child getting ear infections as an example. The first infection, one product for one problem. But then too many infections and now we need to look at the underlying problem. When you look for one product for problem, you get in this cycle of decluttering to organization and back to decluttering but you never get to move on to productivity because the skill of organization has not yet been learned.   But just like getting a celiac diagnosis, you must modify your environment to achieve your desired goal. The Productive Home Solution teaches you to declutter, organize, and modify your home. The Paper Solution® teaches best information management practices. The Sunday Baskset® provides a system to optimize all your household manager responsibilities.  The first time around decluttering and organizing can take some time but then it's just maintenance. New milestone, then you modify your environment again but you don't have to learn the skill all over. You just apply it to the new phase of life you are in like a new baby, home, job, or milestone birthday. The Mission By now you may have heard Organize 365® is decluttering all work related products and services as of December 31, 2025.  This will allow more time to focus on universal application of the systems Organize 365® offers. I want to answer what is essential housework? How can housework be most efficiently optimized and operationalized? How can we all do less housework? And I plan to focus on testing and disseminating results from studies about systems and methods in the marketplace and in academia. Here's to the next chapter of Organize 365®.

I really love Lillian Gilbreth's focus on efficiency for the American home. I'd like to think I'm picking up where she left off. After the war, “men took back their jobs.” But did it ever occur to you that women worked at these factories and there were dual income homes before the war? It had not occurred to me.  I wanted to be home but some women wanted to be at work, working in their uniqueness making a paycheck. Now that the soldiers had returned to work, more women were home, the big packaged food companies marketed to her about how to make her life easier.   Past Mistakes In the past science has just determined the definition of housework and completed their studies based on it. And human nature is to do the household tasks of your gender, as you saw displayed growing up.  But there's a new sheriff in town and I asked the public how they defined housework and I am so excited to publish my findings. In conducting studies in the past they also used a convenience sample group for their studies; like all college students.  This gave skewed results.  In one study, they used married couples with children. This also resulted in what I call “He said, She said” about who is doing what housework. And who is doing more. That convenience sample was ok in the 80's because that was roughly 60% of the population; married with children. But now? Married with children only represents roughly 25% of the population. My sample groups will be large and mimic the US Census to accurately reflect the general public.  I want to be able to focus on teaching efficiency for all genders, all ethnicities, and all family compositions. Because I want a single mom, a multigenerational home, or a nuclear family to learn how to get organized, leading to productivity, that reduces household work. 1 Problem 1 Product It's easy to want to solve one product for one problem but there's an underlying problem.

But then too many infections and now we need to look at the underlying problem.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Mark 12:30, 31  30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these.”   What if that neighbor is your spouse!      The Husband Store A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:    You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!   So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:   Floor 1- These men Have Jobs She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:   Floor 2- These men Have Jobs and Love Kids. 'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:   Floor 3- These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.   'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going  She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:   Floor 4- These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.  'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5- These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.   She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:   Floor 6- You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.   PLEASE NOTE:   To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.   The first floor has wives that enjoy sex.   The second floor has wives that love sex and love to cook   The third the woman enjoy sex, love to cook and have money.   The store has 6 more floors all the way up to the ninth floor… But no one knows what's on them because no man has gone past floor 3   Do you like a good mystery? Ephesians 5: 31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.   Marriage is called a “mystery” because it reflects Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:31–32).

The Black Death that arrived in the spring of 1348 eventually killed nearly half of England's population. In its long aftermath, wages in London rose in response to labor shortages, many survivors moved into larger quarters in the depopulated city, and people in general spent more money on food, clothing, and household furnishings than they had before. Household Goods and Good Households in Late Medieval London: Consumption and Domesticity After the Plague (U Pennsylvania Press, 2021) by Dr. Katherine French looks at how this increased consumption reconfigured long-held gender roles and changed the domestic lives of London's merchants and artisans for years to come.Grounding her analysis in both the study of surviving household artifacts and extensive archival research, Dr. French examines the accommodations that Londoners made to their bigger houses and the increasing number of possessions these contained. The changes in material circumstance reshaped domestic hierarchies and produced new routines and expectations. Recognizing that the greater number of possessions required a different kind of management and care, Dr. French puts housework and gender at the center of her study. Historically, the task of managing bodies and things and the dirt and chaos they create has been unproblematically defined as women's work. Housework, however, is neither timeless nor ahistorical, and Dr. French traces a major shift in women's household responsibilities to the arrival and gendering of new possessions and the creation of new household spaces in the decades after the plague. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In the 1970s, a global group of feminist activists banded together with one demand: 'wages for housework'. Emily Callaci explores this campaign in her Cundill Prize-nominated book Wages for Housework and, in this episode, she speaks to Ellie Cawthorne about why the idea of women being compensated for unpaid household labour caused such a stir at the time – and continues to resonate today.

Have you ever been told that your perfectionism is a problem? Maybe you've felt like it's the reason you're stressed, restless, or never satisfied with yourself. But what if perfectionism isn't actually the enemy? What if it's a form of power that, when channeled with compassion, can actually bring you more joy and meaning? In this episode, I'm joined by Katherine Morgan Schafler, a psychotherapist and the author of The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control. Katherine offers a refreshing perspective: perfectionism doesn't need to be “fixed” or hidden—it can be embraced and redirected in healthier, more adaptive ways. In this conversation, you'll learn:
