Wheel Of Chores: a fair (and low-drama) way to assign tasks
If chore time turns into negotiation time, this wheel is your shortcut. Use the default list to get started fast, or customize it to match your home, roommates, or team.
Default chores on this wheel
These are the built-in items (you can edit them anytime):
- Clean Kitchen
- Wash Dishes
- Clean Table
- Set Table
- Vacuum
- Take out Trash
- Clean Backyard
- Clean Bathroom
- Clean Living Room
- Make Beds
- Help with Laundry
- Check the Mail
Make it work for your household
- Edit the list to fit your routine (weekly resets, seasonal tasks, kid-friendly chores, etc.).
- Use weights to balance effort—make “Take out Trash” more frequent, or “Clean Bathroom” less frequent.
- Try elimination mode when you’re assigning chores to multiple people so each pick is unique.
Quick ways to use it
- Roommates: do a weekly round until everyone has one task.
- Families: assign one chore per kid, then switch on elimination mode to keep it fair.
- Teams/shops: rotate closing duties without awkward volunteering.
