7. Giving Incentive To The Worker:

The homemaker can give incentive to her children to do work, like promise them that she will take them out if they help her in the work. Similarly, the worker herself can find incentives for herself, like an ice-cream, an outing to meet friends, etc. while deciding to take up and finish the work with in the specified period.
