In practicable terms, my wife and I have a whiteboard of small tasks. There is no pressure to complete these tasks, but we don't erase them when completed. Instead we cross them out as a kind of 'reward' and erase them when we run out of room for more tasks. Do the dishes. Water the plants, go to the store, do some laundry, feed the dogs, make dog food, etc. It's satisfying to balance the board of crossouts and pending tasks.
