I highly recommend the above. A few years ago while laid up at home with some broken bones, I decided to use my organizational skills to improve how the house was run. My wife was just speechless, among other very interesting reactions, and I went even further and took the opportunity while she was out running errands to write little notes so that she would not forget. In fact, these efforts were so well received that my wife told me that all this help contributed to my speedy recovery and rapid return to the office. I can just imagine how much I could help her out if I were retired (and lived to survive the consequences).
