Distribute Tasks

Spliddit's tasks calculator fairly divides household chores, work shifts at a hospital, or any other set of tasks. You begin by providing a list of tasks that you wish to assign (for example, morning shift, afternoon shift, night shift) and a list of participants. We then send the participants links where they specify how much they prefer each task relative to the others. Our algorithm uses these evaluations to propose a fair division of the tasks among the participants.

Fairness Properties

Envy-freeness.

A division of tasks is envy free if each participant believes that her workload is at most as much as that of every other participant, i.e., no participant envies any other participant. While our algorithm may often find an envy-free division, no algorithm can guarantee one.

Our algorithm guarantees a division that is envy free up to one task: A participant would never envy another participant if we removed a single task assigned to them.

Our algorithm assigns the tasks in such a way that it would be impossible to find another assignment that benefits one participant without making another worse off.

Algorithm Overview

We assume that the total (perceived) workload of a participant is the sum of their (perceived) workloads for their assigned tasks. Our algorithm is based on computing a Fisher market equilibrium to find a division of tasks. This division has been proven to be envy free up to one task and efficient when each participant views some tasks as (equally) difficult and others as (equally) easy, and conjectured to satisfy these guarantees for any preferences that the participants may provide.

The Ultimate Household Chores List (and Free Printable Template!)

Created On: September 28   |   Updated: September 28   |   1 Comment

This household chores list can help you stay on top of your cleaning and better plan your days! Grab the free printable list of chores now and learn how to put it to good use!

If you ask any busy Momma out there, she’d probably say that the number one biggest contributor of stress in her life is keeping up with the cleaning.

When you single-handedly clean an entire house that four or more people live in (including two preteen daughters that drop their shoes literal inches in front of the shoe rack but not on the rack), it’s rough.

I get it. And I despise cleaning, too. Especially when I feel like the house is just going to be dirty again in two days. Definitely seems like a waste of time.

But one of the things that I find to be part of that time not-so-well spent is the hassle of figuring out what to clean first or what needs to be done in each room… but that’s where a Household Chores Checklist can help!

Why You Need a Household Chores List

You may be wondering how a list of household chores can help you? Like you need another list , right?!

But actually having a printed checklist of chores has a number of benefits like these:

• A household chore list helps you plan your time. I find it easiest to plan my productive time when I have a complete list of all of the things that I need to get done (cleaning or otherwise). And I use that list to set my intentions for each day.
• Use your list of chores to quickly assign tasks to your family. You can easily pick off a chore from the list and delegate to your kids when you need some help around the house.
• Having a printed chore list means you have one less thing to remember. Much like a brain dump can help you get all of your to-do’s and important things to remember out of your head and on to paper, a chores list can help you not forget things that you need to get done around the house.

How to Use a Household Chores List

It’s one thing to have a cute and colorful list of household chores hanging on your fridge… But it’s another thing to actually put it to good use to help you stay on top of your home cleaning and upkeep.

Here are some ideas for how to use the printable list of chores that I’ve got for you at the end of this post:

Laminate the list of household chores to hang on your fridge.

This is my favorite way to use the printable chores list down below. Having my list of chores hanging front and center on the fridge is a great way to keep your daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning jobs top of mind… every time you open the fridge you’ll be reminded to complete your chores for the day.

Just laminate the printable list of chores ( this is the laminator that I have and LOVE !) and use a dry erase marker to check things off the list as you complete them. Doesn’t get much easier than that!

Print one copy of the chores list for each week.

If you don’t have a laminator or if you prefer having a fresh chore list for each week, you can also print off multiple copies of the printable cleaning list. Then, you can hang the list on a clipboard in your family command center or on the fridge. Just use a pen to mark out the jobs that are done, and get a fresh household chores list at the beginning of the following week.

Add the printable household chores checklist to your planner.

If you like to organize your whole life with a paper planner, then why not include your chores list in there also? You can add specific chores to different days of the week in your weekly planner to help keep up with your cleaning list.

Or, just print out the giant list of chores at the end of this post and add it to your planner as is for when you have some extra time and feel like being productive.

Use the list of chores to get help around the house.

Sometimes I feel too busy to even think about delegating chores and other household tasks to my kids and husband… As a full-time working Mom, I know that I need the help keeping up with housework, but thinking of jobs for my kids to do or actually vocalizing what specific chores I need help with is just ONE. MORE. THING. on my to-do list.

Maybe you can relate?

But having a list of chores at the ready can take one thing off your plate… Even if it’s as simple as cleaning out the dishwasher.

When you’re starting to feel overwhelmed, simply tell your kids to each pick one chore from the chore list and get it done. This allows them to choose how they want to be helpful, and it also helps to alleviate your workload. Win win!

Daily Household Chores List

List of Household Chores – Separated by Room

Instead of focusing on what chores need to be done daily, weekly, and monthly, you may find it easier to separate your list of chores by room instead. This is sometimes referred to as “ zone cleaning ” and it can help the gigantic task of keeping your entire house clean feel not so daunting, because it allows you to focus on only one room at a time.

If this Zone Cleaning system seems more your style, then here’s a household chores list separated by rooms or “zones” to help you get started:

Chore wheel

Trending Post : Would you rather questions for kids

Chore Wheel

This is a free printable and customizable DIY chore wheel. Type in the name of each person and your chore list before your print and assemble. Instant download!

Once assembled spin to rotate tasks. You can also rotate each week to ensure a fair distribution of all tasks. 

A chore wheel is a great way to divide up chores, particularly when nobody wants to do some tasks. You can then use it to rotate the chores. It also adds a bit of fun to a potentially stressful process.

The chore wheel can be used by a family with kids or by roommates who need a system to divide up the household chores. If you want to use it for couples, then select the template for four people and type each name twice.

Chore Wheel Template

Decide how many people will appear on your chore wheel template. We offer a few different options, but you can easily make changes:

• 4 family members/roommates
• 5 family members/roommates
• 6 family members/roommates

Print the template and then follow the instructions below.

How to Make a Chore Wheel

This chore wheel can be used by roommates, couples, or families with children. You can use it to divide chores and then rotate them.

• Cardstock or paper
• A paper fastener or split pin
• Chore wheel template (see above)

Instructions

• Download the relevant template according to the number of people participating.
• If each person is going to do an equal number of chores, then you add one name per person. If you want the parents or one particular person to do more tasks than others, then add that name more than once.
• Type in the names of each family member and the family name in the middle of the wheel. Download and print on cardstock. Cut out the wheel.
• Click  here  to open the chore wheel maker.  Write each chore on the larger chore wheel . If you want to add more than one task per quadrant, then click on enter and type another chore below. Once you have completed all of the chores, download the chart and print it on cardstock. Cut out the wheel.
• Use the back of a paper fastener or split pin to make a hole in the center of each circle.
• Join the two circles with the paper fastener or split pin.

To add another person, click on the “A” icon (add text). Type in the name and move it to the correct place. To delete a person, click on the little x on the text box.

Thanks for this template, it’s great; but when I attempt to print them, they are both the same size. Am I doing something wrong? I’d like for the center circle to be smaller to fit on top of the large “chore” wheel…

Cindy, thanks for letting me know. It has been fixed.

Roommate Chore Chart: How to Split Chores

Alcove team · 4/17/24.

Sharing a living room with roommates might be rewarding. Nevertheless, it rarely goes without certain difficulties. The toughest part of sharing the household chores with the roommate is finding a unified solution to this problem. Cleaning is not fun, but it is one of the fundamental chores that guarantees a safe and fresh living space. That's where the roommate chore chart will serve you as a guide. 

Dividing Up Housework 

A division of household chores can be a fertile breeding ground for disputes between roommates if the accomplishment criteria don't need to be apparent. Add to favorites Here, as everyone may have different criteria applied to neatness and cleanliness, it becomes necessary to develop operating standards that work for everybody. A chore chart that will be drafted before the process will be an efficient means of limiting conflicts and ensuring that every roommate knows their responsibility for the upkeep of the house. 

Prioritize Communication 

This is why, before we go into the talk about chores to be assigned, we have to create a platform for each roommate to share ideas and thoughts freely. Set a date to meet and analyze each family member's cleaning expectations and preferences. Address questions such as: Which jobs should  be dealt with and how often? Is there anything around the house that needs any different kind of treatment? Establishing concrete rules, which you would write in a roommate agreement, would allow you to avoid the conflict that may further arise. 

Producing an Impeccable Chore Chart 

Start doing this task by accumulating a complete list of all the imperative work, both minor and major. This list of samples of chores will be central to the construction of the chore chart.  

Play to Strengths

Consider each partner's capabilities and tastes. Split tasks among people based on what they like doing or what they can do perfectly well, leaving no one with too much work. 

Rotation System

Implement a rotation schedule where different responsibilities are allocated every week, month, etc. By rotating these roles, no one feels carried away by the same weekly  tasks. 

Random Assignment

Add an element of adventure to your chore assignment and allocate tasks randomly using a lucky draw. This approach maintains diversity and provokes interest by fairly allocating tasks.

Have assignments clearly written on a chore chart. Place the chore chart in a visible area where everyone can see and refer to it. You could go the extra mile by providing some templates, which  you can easily find online. 

Expressing Gratitude 

Praising them for all the little things they do enhances harmony in the house. Life without them would be unimaginable. Thus, "thank you" can be a depth of gratitude for their contributions. Bear in mind that an environment where residents enjoy a spirit of belonging and are treated with kindness is the kind of living environment that will be pleasurable to everyone on board. 

Simplifying Chores with Common 

For busy people, considering the merits of Common's co-living could be the solution to get a  convenient living. The 100% furnished sets are stocked with either cleaned or supplied sets, so were are not required to do exhausting chores. Through Common, you are freed from dealing with tedious chores like organizing clean up. You can now concentrate on relaxing and enjoying the place. The ability to make roommate daily chores success stories depends on three main elements: good communication, task-oriented collaboration, and showing appreciation. All the aforementioned solutions can make your house a place where you could have peace of mind and the household chores shall be executed as a joint responsibility and not a source of conflict.

Guess what! Your home life sharing space with roommates can be so much simpler than you think.

With a proper roommate chore chart generator—there’s an app for that!—you can enjoy less fuss, a cleaner living space and happy flat mates. Here’s all you need to know.

Who is the organizer between you and your roommates? Do any of you even enjoy managing the living environment, from getting bills paid to making sure the bathroom is clean? If you’re the owner, you have no choice—if you want to protect your asset. If you simply want to keep the peace and prevent fights about the kitchen that was left in chaos—again—that’s a 24/7 burden!

Surely there’s a better way to manage chores and responsibilities?

For many roomies a roommate chore chart generator is key to a peaceful existence! But, manage this correctly, or it will simply rob you of more time and energy.

Want to get roommate living right?

Read through our tips on a roommate chore chart generator and other helpful guidelines that will make more of a change than you think!

Why is it Important to Manage Roommate Chores Well?

Talk to business leaders and they’ll tell you the value of streamlining and automating processes. It saves time—even money —and as a whole the business gets more done.

Well, the same values apply to joint living situations, such as dividing up chores among everyone. After all, doing chores and maintenance protects your asset so you don’t have unnecessary repair expenses. And if you manage your roommate chore chart correctly, everyone will be more willing to do their share, so you’re creating a more welcoming living environment for everyone.

Ways to Generate a Roommate Chore Chart

So, here are a few old-school and brand-new ways to effectively manage chores around the house or apartment.

Use a Chore Wheel

Here’s one for those who enjoy a bit of arts and crafts—or simply print it out if you’re pressed for time:

• Make a list of all chores
• List the names of all roommates
• Create a paper wheel—firm cardboard works best—with the same number of sections (think pieces of pie) then your number of chores
• Write a chore in each section
• Make a smaller wheel with sections that will contain roommates’ names. It must have the same number of sections as the chore wheel. Names get added multiple times until all sections are filled.
• Attach the two wheels by making holes in the centers and secure it with a pin.
• To generate a roommate chore chart, spin the name wheel and where it lands, each person is responsible for the tasks written in the sections that line up with their names.

You can keep the chore list this way, or adjust the wheel by one section each week or month.

Create a Spreadsheet

If you enjoy working on spreadsheets you may want to create one with columns representing roommates and rows for chores. Share it with all the roommates on the cloud so you can collaborate on the document.

Options to use this as a chore chart generator:

• Ask everyone to pick a few chores and divide remaining ones among the team.
• Randomly allocate names to chores and regularly—monthly or weekly—move chores one row down so everyone gets a chance at every chore

A spreadsheet is helpful because you can add helpful information such as due dates and exact expectations. Unfortunately, not all roommates will enjoy or remember checking the chart. You may have to keep reminding them to do their share.

Wall Calendar

A wall calendar is a popular choice for many households, because it’s a visual element. Put it up in the kitchen and everybody is bound to see it, serving as a reminder of what needs to be done.

Have fun making one from cardboard or simply print out a design from your PC. Options for using wall calendars include:

• Show an entire month and write chores with the responsible person for each day or week, depending on how often the chore needs to be done.
• Create a page for each roommate and stick chores—written on cardboard with some sticky tape at the back—on each page. You can easily rotate chores each month or week by moving them from page to page.
• Have sections on the page for weekly and daily chores.
• Use a grid on a white board and whiteboard markers to easily adjust schedules each month, so everyone gets a turn at each task.

You can draw chores from a hat for a start, or allow roommates to pick their chores for the first month. Then rotate them so in due time, everyone gets a chance at each task.

Unfortunately, over time your roommates will get so used to the wall calendar that they won’t even notice it. If you don’t remind them to check their responsibilities, they’re bound to forget.

Go Digital!

Tech innovations are popular for a reason! They make life so much simpler! And an app like Enzo gives you one of the best, simplest roommate chore chart generators you’ll ever come across.

A chore tracker app enables the following, saving you time and making sure chores aren’t only allocated but actually completed:

• All tasks are displayed on an app which gives everyone easy access to their responsibilities. You don’t even have to be home to check the chart!
• Advanced apps like Enzo can help manage recurring tasks, making it effortless to manage the allocation of tasks over coming weeks.
• Each roommate gets reminders about their upcoming chores, so they can plan and set aside time for it. No one has an excuse for not getting it done and other roommates don’t have to play ‘policeman’ all the time.

Why not do apartment cleaning the 21 st century way? By making information accessible and automating the process of generating a chore chart, you avoid conflict and save time!

Tips for Creating Chore Charts that Keep Everyone Happy

No matter which chore chart generator process you pick, it’s important to be respectful and ensure clear communication between all parties. Here are guidelines that will get more buy in from all participants.

Discuss Cleaning Standards

Never assume that everyone knows what you mean when you say ‘clean the kitchen’. Even after vetting and finding compatible roommates , there will still be differences of opinion. Some will simply give the counters a quick wipe down, while you may expect deep cleaning with sanitizing solution AND checking for items in the fridge that are past their due date.

There should be an in depth discussion about what everyone expects from each other. For one thing, roommates may not be able to cater for all of a germophobe’s preferences, so some compromises will be need to be made by all parties.

List All Chores

Start off by asking everyone to add chores to the list. An apartment cleaning checklist will be a good start to ensure you don’t miss anything. Remember to list all types of tasks:

• Weekly ones
• Monthly tasks
• Tasks like roof maintenance that occur every few months, and which everyone may work together on

Talk About Everyone’s Needs and Preferences

While there’s no question that roommates must help with the tasks, you may show some leniency in HOW they’re done. Some practical examples:

• Roommates may prefer everyone use biodegradable products and environmentally friendly cleaning solutions.
• If a roommate’s schedule doesn’t allow any free time on specific days of the week, agree that they can do it when they have time, but by a certain date.

Divide Chores Fairly

Prevent any animosity by ensuring the roommate chore chart generator leads to a fair distribution of tasks. Consider the number of chores, but also how much time and effort goes into each one.

Talk About Accountability

Despite the best roommate chore chart generator—with reminders—some of your flatmates will still ‘forget’ to complete their tasks. During your chore discussion, ask everyone how you as a group will handle these situations.

For example, if the Enzo app shows someone has neglected a task too many times, should they pay a penalty fee? Agree on consequences, to avoid conflict down the line. You can even include it in the house rules, which can easily be updated and shared via the app.

Last Tip: Say Thank You
