You hire someone.
Day 1 goes well. Day 2… confusion starts.
By Week 1, you’re correcting the same things repeatedly — or thinking of firing them.
It’s not always attitude. It’s unclear instructions.
Whether at home or in business, staff don’t deliver well if the job is left open to interpretation.
🧩 What Happens Without Clear Instructions?
- Tasks are done halfway or skipped
- You get frustrated, they feel attacked
- Trust breaks down over small mistakes
- Staff start guessing — or doing nothing at all
- You constantly “supervise” instead of managing
How to Write Instructions That Actually Work
1. Be Specific, Not General
Instead of: “Clean the house”
Say: “Sweep and mop living room and kitchen by 8:30 AM”
2. Use a Daily or Weekly Checklist
It helps both of you keep track. They’ll remember tasks, and you’ll avoid repeating yourself.
3. Explain the Why (Not Just the What)
When people understand why something matters, they do it better and with more care.
4. Be Available for Clarification
Let them ask questions. It’s a sign of commitment, not confusion.
5. Review Performance Regularly
Don’t wait until you’re angry. Use weekly check-ins to adjust calmly.
