The fridge being full is a job someone does every week. Notice it before it’s yours.

A full fridge is the output of planning, a list, a car, a budget, time and carrying. It renews itself every week without you seeing any of the steps, which makes it feel like a property of the building rather than a task somebody completed. Most people only discover it is a job when the job becomes theirs.

Go with whoever does the shopping, once, and pay attention to the decisions rather than the aisles. Carry the heavy bags in and put things away in the right places. Then take one piece of it off them next week: your own lunch, the milk, the list.
