Chore rota

Everyone does everything, just not in the same week. Print it and stick it on the fridge.

Everyone gets every chore in turn. With three people and four chores, the cycle repeats every three weeks.

How to use it

  1. List the people sharing the flat, then the chores you want covered.
  2. Choose how many weeks to plan and press make the rota.
  3. Each chore moves one person along every week, so nobody is stuck with the bathroom. Print it for the fridge.

Questions

Is the rotation actually fair?

Over a full cycle yes. Each chore shifts one person every week, so everyone does every chore the same number of times.

What if we have more chores than people?

That is fine. Somebody takes two in a week, and the doubling moves along with the rest of the rota.

Can I save it?

Print it, or take a screenshot. The rota is rebuilt from the same lists every time, so it does not need saving to stay the same.
