Getting started

Why won't they just start?

The bit everyone calls laziness and almost nobody calls what it is. Why a big job reads as no job at all, and what to do instead of asking again.

Need the list rather than the explanation? Break common messes down by room.

• “Tidy your room” is not a task

  It is a category. Why a big instruction reads as no instruction, and how to break twelve common messes into steps a child can actually start.
