Step 1: Assess

Now it’s time for each partner to evaluate each task. Each partner must individually complete the two tasks below to proceed.

Task 1

For each task, each partner will need to make two judgments.
First, select your name from the dropdown below.
Approximate how many hours this takes a week to get done - for both you and your partner combined.
Estimate the split in labour between you and your partner from 0-100, with 0 meaning “
Emily
⁠
does it all” and 100 meaning “
Alisha
⁠
does it all” and 50 meaning equal split.
You’ll notice that the “Your Hrs/week” column calculates how many hours based on your estimated hours/week and the split of the work. Use this to double check your guesswork.

Select your name:
