This is such an excellent point. And a great topic. Leaving NA's like a "to do" list for our non-GTD spouses can definitely come off the wrong way if they don't come with an explanation.

Even if it would be redundant for you, what about building the list together, and together looking at what things can be handled by each of you separately and will be handled together. I know when my hubby and I sit down and do this, it helps me realize what I can do to not only help him, but help us both get the little things out of the way so when we do have time together, we're doing what we really want or need to do together.

This is another point that should not be overlooked. As a wife... I know my hubby doesn't always get that this is often the case. But again, when I realize that there are things I can get out of the way, I do end up enjoying the projects we do together so much more. Discussion, compromise and clarity of the big picture. Hope that helps!
