I like to think of it as a chore chart with a brain :) It'll keep the chore chart organized and current for you, and you won't need to think about formulas or cells or any of that junk.<br /><br />It's currently in beta, but it works well (we're using it in our household). You add everyone you live with (kids, spouses, roommates, etc.), add your chores (names and how often they should be done), and PowrHouse keeps track of whose turn it is to do each chore (and sends email reminders every night, with links to click to signal that you've done the chores).<br /><br />If you do end up using it, please contact me (my info is on the site) and let me know what you think, as I'm trying to make it as useful to as many types of households as possible. If not, thanks at least for reading this far :)Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674611585797192703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13370428.post-81469831503280206042009-09-06T13:47:17.370-04:002009-09-06T13:47:17.370-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674611585797192703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13370428.post-85140651236078525252009-09-04T08:46:07.524-04:002009-09-04T08:46:07.524-04:00Christy, I used to do charts and lists, but who ha...Christy, I used to do charts and lists, but who has time for them now? I concur with blessed2Bmom, the organized life as reflected in lists is an illusion. Planning is critical, but lets not forget that man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

Those chores recur throughout the day? My kids would either check it off after the morning load of laundry and feel un-obligated to help anymore OR would forget to check off at night as they go up to bed with the last of their clean clothes!!<br /><br />What will Chore Tracker Man say to that?! :-)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488911374502562416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13370428.post-14521061943170485182009-08-31T23:08:08.034-04:002009-08-31T23:08:08.034-04:00(Let's try this again...)

I, too, am a list maker/checker offer! <br />However, I had FINALLY gotten my kids' chores divided up well, the kids accustomed to the 3wk rotation of assignment. THey weren't good about checking off lists, but at least we all knew who was responsible for what. Then, WHAMO!<br /><br />Ben going to back to school has shot the whole system to pieces! <br /><br />I need a new plan! :) Hope all goes well with your new plan!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488911374502562416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13370428.post-6435666726167361292009-08-31T07:24:42.366-04:002009-08-31T07:24:42.366-04:00Molly - I'll send it right out to you!Molly - I'll send it right out to you!Christy Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192519166354022489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13370428.post-32094480962842057102009-08-31T07:11:51.910-04:002009-08-31T07:11:51.910-04:00LOVE the chart thing.
