About the book
The Home Operations Method
For 15 years, Lisa Chun designed operational systems that helped hundreds of schools run more efficiently. Yet like many other working parents, her life at home was the opposite of organized. Daily scrambles to get out the door, toys that never made it back to their bins, chores that fell solely on her—it wasn’t sustainable.
Chief Operating Officers understand that pure muscle can never accomplish what good systems can. Why not apply those same principles to the home? Taking her tried-and-true strategies, Chun developed and tested the Home Operations Method with more than 1,000 families. The results were game-changing: more than any organizational hack, the Method created real, long-lasting relief from household chaos.
Practical, effective, and easy-to-follow, The Home Operations Method will show you how to perform an executive-level systems audit of your home so it can run more smoothly with less effort. You’ll learn how to:
- Identify points of friction and create a future game plan for all eight core operating systems of the home
- Stop carrying the full weight of running your home alone by establishing a COO role and empowering others through deliberate delegation
- Use a “rent-cost lens” system to purge clutter and reduce the physical and mental load of your home
- Diagnose root causes of decision fatigue and design systems that save you time and energy around meal planning, chores, maintenance, and tidying up
- Use the Weekly Home Walkthroughs and Action Plans to chip away at daunting tasks
Stop running your home on muscle. Let good systems do the work for you so you can spend less time reacting to chaos and more time enjoying life.
