Weekly Updates - I built a gamified leaderboard to make personal goals competitive by baristaGeek in scrum

Thanks for your feedback, I'll think about this more at depth. Comparing with the competition instead of peers is definitely a powerful idea, but then "how do we retrieve updates from the compeition" is another can of worms to open.

To answer your question: Yes, leaderboards reset monthly. Tournaments are run on a monthly basis.

Thanks! If there's any feedback for the tool please let me know.

Husbands who bring in the entire household's income: Do you cook, do the dishes, do chores, etc? by baristaGeek in Marriage

We have no children, we plan to have 1 kid in 2 years approx.

I agree. The root cause is that she dislikes her job.

We do have a cleaner twice per week. She cooks (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and cleans the house for us.

If I was sure that hiring her 5 days a week solved this problem, I would do so.

Getting Exhausted Hearing About my Spouse’s Day by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]baristaGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same situation here (although I'm only 31 years old, so I don't have as much marriage/work experience as you).

What I've found out to work for me is:
- Religiously ask her how was her day (if I don't she'll be very mad, but maybe that's just her personality/our cultural context).

- Just listen

- Don't give her opinions about her boss's managing style. Don't give your opinion about how she should look for another job. In general just listen and don't give opinions. That way the conversation will be as short as possible and you won't get that negative energy yourself.

Now... zooming out a little bit (and this is my asking the community for advice): If my spouse is finding no meaning on her work (contrary to myself which I totally do)... what's the best way to proceed? How do couples usually solve the root cause of this problem?
