Cohousing-L Mailing List: Getting the work done

[Barbara Smith (bjsmith81]

One issue that keeps coming up for us is having people conclude that they
don't need to work in a particular area(e.g. meals, be it cooking or
cleaning) because they'd prefer to work on something else, e.g. building
workshop shelves.   To my mind this works up to a point, but it seems that
there are jobs that no one has an affinity for but they are central to the
idea of cohousing (like meals, keeping the public spaces in good order,).
 Any thoughts, advice?
