For example, I will tell them to do something and then I will totally forget and so won't hold them accountable. So I try to write some of the things down, for both me and them. For example, before I leave for work, I will make a list with 3 chores that they should do. That way they have it in writing and when I return from work, I can read the note and remember what all I had asked them to do. Just seeing the note is a memory prompt for me, even if I don't read it.

Great idea! You know what's really funny? My own mother used that trick with me. I always hated those lists back then. ... maybe because that way my ADD couldn't get me out of doing the work! ...now I like, need and survive by lists. Go figure!
