My Chore List

I think an underrated key to greatness in anything is to always know what you're supposed to be doing without being told. On that note, my wife drew up a chore chart for me. I follow it as best I can each day, and am punished if they are not done at an appropriate time. The list always changes according to her needs, but I am not to alter this list in any way.

This list works because I complete it on my own. My wife does not need to remind me that this list must be completed. A severe punishment would likely accompany any reminder.

I have made this list a little vague in order to a) conceal who we are, and b) make this list more potentially useful to other submissive spouses.
