System Cards
Cut and laminate these cards and
tape them inside a cupboard door or drawer so your family can refer to them.
System cards can be very helpful
for any member of the family. A system card will outline the job and give a
job description. By having these cards you family will know what is
expected. When a job is completed, you can let the person in charge of that
area evaluate his own work. By having a system card he can see if anything
has been left undone.
Make system cards for each area
or job in your home.
