Not only does nagging someone to do something rarely lead to a good outcome (or even work particularly well), nagging also makes the nagger feel angry and mean. You’ll get a mood boost when you quit nagging! Try kinder, more persuasive tools to get some help when you need it . . . or just do the task yourself. Often simply coming out and asking someone (one time!) to do a task is more effective than getting on their case about it. And you’ll feel better about yourself too.
