Patrick (last name unknown) wrote about his productivity system in a comment to this really great post from Ishbadiddle:

The best system IS the one that works for you. Here’s mine:

1) Get married
2) When something needs to be done ask your spouse to do it
3) Prioritize: If your wife says that she will do it, it is important.
If your wife says that you should do it, it’s kinda important.
If she doesn’t say anything, it’s not very important.
4) Go to the web and read up on all the past episodes of “The Shield”
5) Let a week pass.
6) Ask your wife if she did “those things” she was supposed to do. Look concerned.
7) She will ask you if have done your things. Look exhausted and say you will try.
8) Do this for a couple of months. Every once and while ask her “Isn’t there something we were supposed to do this week?” This will ensure that little things don’t fall between the cracks. It also implies that you care, which believe me fellas, goes a long way.
9) Do one or two things that your wife has reminded you to do three or four times.
10) Go back to step 2.
