Who it is for
Couples starting to share a home who want an honest, specific picture of who does what, without a fight about it.
What this saves you from
- The work only one of you notices. The list makes the invisible jobs visible.
- Arguing about feelings. Add up the weekly minutes and compare numbers instead.
- The jobs nobody remembers. A monthly and seasonal page gives each one a month and a person.
- A week with no evening off. The weekly sheet keeps one night free of chores for both of you.
Inside: Chore list with rough minutes; Weekly schedule for two; Monthly and seasonal jobs; Ground rules page.
You get: Couples Chore Split Schedule (PDF).
How it helps
Make the invisible work visible
A starter list of 18 chores with how often they happen and rough minutes, from dishes and laundry to bills, car care and booking appointments. Change the minutes to match your home.
Compare in minutes, not feelings
Tick who does what, then add up each person's weekly minutes. Within 30 minutes of each other is close.
Plan the week
A weekly sheet for each of you, with one evening kept free of chores for both.
Remember the rare jobs
A monthly and seasonal page for the tasks that are easy to forget, with a month and a person for each.
How to use it
- Tick who does each chore today, then total the weekly minutes for each of you.
- Trade chores until the totals feel fair to both of you.
- Fill in the weekly sheet, and hold a 15-minute check-in once a week to adjust.
Good to know
- The minutes are rough starting guesses. Make them yours.
- Daily tasks count seven times a week and monthly tasks count one-quarter.
