A system that works.

Help when you need it.

How it Works

Persist uses psychology and technology to help your household create new habits that build visibility, appreciation, and fairness around the division of your household care work.

Access our web-based system from anywhere; no need to download anything.

Start where you are

We meet you where you are, by first getting a sense of the current state of your household.

You quickly divide the most common tasks across your household. Decide which tasks apply to your family, and based on your answers, we calculate the total time that is required each week to keep your household running. This is the first step in unlocking the ability to make real change.

You will also earn badges along the way to see the progress you’re making with each step in the system. Learn more about badges

Collaboration is a cornerstone of a well-functioning, balanced household.

It can be hard to start conversations about domestic inequity, especially if it's been a sore spot in the past, but getting on the same team to break old patterns and build new ones is worth it.

We help you set your sights on a common goal, and navigate tricky conversations with your partner.

We also make sure you take time to treat yourself (while you practice defining your needs and asking for help).

Experience the balance

Once the system is in place, you will know when you’ve hit your stride.

You will continue to see improvements in your household collaboration and communication, but this is also where you truly experience time-saving benefits of all the effort you’ve put in.
