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:

Task 2

Next up, you’re going to make subjective assessments about how these tasks actually feel to do.
Is it hard work, easy work, or somewhere in between? Select how much this effort you feel this takes you, 1-5.
Do you like doing it? Select how much enjoyment you get out of doing this task, 1-5.
If you’ve never done some of these tasks, select “3”. Or go do the task right now, see how it feels, then report back.
