1. Let go of resentment about the past.
  2. Play my cards with full Conception, Planning, and Execution (CPE).
  3. Relinquish control of the cards that are not mine; no messing with your cards in the eleventh hour.
  4. Adhere to our agreed-upon Minimum Standard of Care for each card I take; cut the criticism and nagging when things aren’t done “my” way.
  5. Re-deal individual cards as often as needed with clear and collaborative communication.
  6. Claim my Unicorn Space, and support you as you take yours.
  7. Make regular time to check in with you; practice makes perfect.
  8. A re-deal is the pre-negotiated, explicit handoff of a card to a partner, given with full CPE. There are some cards like “pets” that may be re-dealt midweek or even day to day.
