When we’re living abroad, we often ask family back home to handle things for us.
But when they don’t meet our expectations, we get frustrated. The truth is, we’re often partly to blame because we don’t give them clear steps or deadlines.
Just like we have structured plans and timelines at our jobs, we should do the same with family.
Clear instructions and deadlines can make a huge difference in getting things done right, so that when we come home, everything is in place.
Setting them up for success sets us up for success too!
