How to use it without turning it into a scoreboard

  1. Fill it in together, calmly, not after a fight.
  2. Assign whole chores: whoever owns laundry notices it, does it and puts it away, with no reminders.
  3. Write at the bottom what “done” means: half the arguments come from different standards.
  4. Decide what happens when a chore is skipped: it moves, it doesn't become a debt.
  5. Redo it after two weeks: the first version is always off somewhere.

Before assigning, it helps to know what each item weighs: the calculator estimates it in five minutes. Open the calculator.
