Starting point
Start with the family’s departure time, then separate duties needed beforehand from those that can happen later. Morning priorities clarify timing without making every task urgent.
when the household contact changes
Maintain one summary of duties and changes, handing it to the new contact to avoid conflicting instructions.
a weekly review
Review completed and deferred duties and their reasons, then agree changes to priorities or time instead of repeating an unsuitable list.
