Eve Rodsky’s deck of cards could help you find domestic bliss
- Eve Rodsky was fed up. For years she, like many other women, had shouldered the burden
- of invisible labor at home. Rodsky, a Harvard-educated lawyer and organizational management
- specialist who advises families and charitable foundations, was tired of being the “she-fault”
- parent. So, she started a spreadsheet titled “Shit I do.” “After months and months of
- crowdsourcing this beautiful, giant spreadsheet, I sent this to my husband and said, ‘Can’t wait
- to discuss.'”
- Rodsky shared the spreadsheet on Facebook. Soon, she was receiving messages from
- strangers who had seen it, detailing the domestic indignities they faced. She wanted to channel
- that frustration into something productive, and then Rodsky realized she could apply
- organizational management principles to the home. When Sarah Harden, the CEO of the media
- and production company Hello Sunshine, met Rodsky, she realized Rodsky was onto something
- novel. “After 40 to 50 years of talking about the problems, she was working on a solution. [At
- Hello Sunshine], (...) We like to be on the problem-solving end of the conversation rather than
- wallowing” said Harden.
- The result is Rodsky’s book, Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too
- Much to Do (and More Life to Live), which came out in October. (Hello Sunshine inked a unique
- deal with Rodsky as a venture partner, which means the company helped sell the book to a
- publisher and will take a cut of its profits.) A key piece of Rodsky’s solution is gamifying the
- notion of fair play with a set of cards. “So this is based on a 100 card game. You’re holding cards
- that represent all that you do for your home and family.”
- The author believes the cards can help couples navigate their domestic balance by helping
- them to talk about home life (which most people don’t do) and take full ownership of the tasks
- (concept, planning, and execution). The ultimate goal of redistributing domestic work, according
- to Rodsky, is to free up time for what she calls “unicorn space” — the stuff that might feel like a
- luxury or pipe dream to most parents. “This is about making time for the things we actually care
- about — who we were before we had kids,” she said. “What are our passions and purpose,
- beyond being a parent and a partner and a worker? The more we spend time arguing about who
- does what, the less time we have for the things that truly matter.”

These are excerpts from the text:
1. Eve Rodsky was fed up. For years she, like many other women, had shouldered the burden of invisible labor at home. (l. 01-02).
2. Rodsky shared the spreadsheet on Facebook. Soon, she was receiving messages from strangers who had seen it, detailing the domestic indignities they faced. (l. 07-08).
Consider the statements bellow about excerpts 1 and 2:
I. In 1, the use of past perfect suggests that Rodsky doesn’t “shoulder the burden” anymore.
II. In 2, the past perfect was used because there is reference to two actions in the past, and one happened before the other.
III. In 1, if the past perfect structure were replaced by present perfect continuous it would imply the continuity of the action up to nowadays.

1 Nowadays, occupational therapists have access
to many technological features that aid patients in

markers and coloring books to practice these skills.
10 Elderly patients can use virtual assistants, like
Alexa or Siri, to control their environment without having
to get up or ask others for help. While teaching patients
