Introducing: Our Chore Chart for Adults
Our printable chore charts for adults have been designed with simplicity in mind.
They feature 3 different variations in design, with some key elements that help you make planning chore a success.
The three variations include are:
- Chore chart for Monday to Sunday tasks (7 days chart)
- Chore chart for Sunday to Monday tasks (7 days chart)
- Chore chart for Monday to Friday tasks (5 days chart)
Each of our chore charts for adults has two key sections to make your planning super easy:
Top Section
The top section allows you to record chores that need to be done more than once a week, for example clearing out the dishwasher, swiping the kitchen counters, making food for kids, doing food shopping and similar.
There is plenty of space to write, so you can go as detailed as you like in the description.
Once the task is done, you simply mark the date in which it is done.
Bottom section
The bottom section is reserved for tasks that only need to be done once per week, and you can allocate them to specific day in the week.
This is handy for example if you're allocating rubbish removal and you know your rubbish collection is on a specific day.
The reminder section is useful for notes about events or things to remember on the specific week, which are not necessarily chores themselves.
