How the chart works

Each row is a chore and each column a day of the week. Tap a cell to set who does that chore that day, or use “Split automatically” so each day it’s someone different, then change whatever you like. Each person has their own color and initials, so you can see at a glance whose turn it is.

You can remove the chores you don’t do, add your own (walking the dog, cleaning the fish tank) and choose whether the chart covers the whole week or Monday to Friday.

Turns or blank cells

Turns work well with roommates or when everyone can do every chore. If you’d rather write it by hand, tap “Leave blank” and the chart prints empty so you can fill in the initials with a pen.

Making the chart work

Put it where everyone sees it, like the fridge or the kitchen door, and change it every week or two. At the end of the week, look together at what didn’t get done: often it isn’t laziness, it’s that a chore doesn’t fit someone’s schedule.

If you want to split chores more fairly, our blog explains how to do it by the time each chore takes rather than by the number of chores.
