That's a great piece! We often discuss that extra credit goes to students who are already doing the work, it's hard to find a good motivator if you cannot tailor it to individuals.
I do listen to the audio, as I miss our chats! lol
And this winter break I have split the organization of closets and toys into smaller tasks, and I am rewarding that with an extra tv show for the kids. It is working well so far.
Definitely. I teach my kids that there are three kinds of work that we do: their jobs, family work, and service work. Kids can think categorically, so this helps them set expectations for when they get paid and when they don't.
"Progressive Task Complexity," I love it, thanks! I may reference that in the future once I've looked it up, that is, if you haven't trademarked it already.

Great piece. It reminds me of the idea mentioned by Hagglund - sometimes we do tasks to generate 'free time' for others in the community/family.
It changed my perception towards chores as well.
