Simplify Your Weekly Routine with S’moresUp
Managing a family means juggling a million moving parts—school schedules, extracurricular activities, and of course, household chores. For tasks that need to be tackled regularly, S’moresUp offers a seamless solution: Weekly Chores. This feature not only helps you schedule tasks for a specific day of the week but also allows for individual scheduling, so every family member knows their role.
Whether it’s taking out the trash every Monday or rotating laundry duty on Saturdays, Weekly Chores ensure your household runs smoothly, week after week.
Why Weekly Chores Work
1. Build Routine Without the Hassle:
- Weekly Chores help create predictable schedules for the entire family, turning recurring tasks into habits.
2. Tailor Scheduling for Everyone:
- Need one family member to take out the trash on Mondays and another to do it on Thursdays? No problem! Individual scheduling lets you assign tasks to fit each person’s availability and strengths.
3. Ensure Consistency:
- With reminders and tracking, S’moresUp keeps everyone on track, so no chore gets forgotten or delayed.
How to Use Weekly Chores in S’moresUp
Step 1: Create a New Chore
- Navigate to the Chores Tab and click Add a New Chore. Name the task (e.g., “Water the Plants” or “Vacuum the Living Room”).
Step 2: Set the Frequency to Weekly
- Select Weekly under the frequency options. This allows you to assign the task to repeat on specific days of the week.
Step 3: Choose the Day(s) of the Week
- Pick the exact day(s) the chore needs to be completed. For example, set “Take Out Trash” for Mondays and Thursdays.
Step 4: Assign Members Individually (Optional)
- Need different family members to handle the same task on different days? Use the individual scheduling feature to customize assignments. For example:
- HerShe takes care of “Laundry” on Wednesdays.
- Marsh and Mello handle “Recycling” on Saturdays.
Step 5: Track and Reward Progress
- Let the app track completion for you, awarding S’mores Points to family members as they complete their assigned tasks.
Examples of Weekly Chores in Action
1. Trash and Recycling:
- Assign trash duty to different members on different days to ensure bins are emptied regularly.
2. Laundry Rotation:
- Rotate responsibilities for sorting, washing, and folding clothes across the week.
3. Kitchen Clean-Up:
- Schedule deep cleaning of appliances, wiping countertops, or organizing the pantry weekly.
4. Pet Care:
- Set tasks like “Brush Frankie the Dog” for Sundays or “Clean Bobby Wasabi’s Tank” for Fridays.
Why Families Love Weekly Chores
1. Clear Expectations:
- Everyone knows their responsibilities for the week, reducing last-minute confusion or forgotten tasks.
2. Accountability Made Easy:
- Weekly Chores come with built-in reminders and tracking, so parents don’t have to nag, and kids feel empowered to stay on top of their tasks.
3. Customizable for Every Household:
- From large families with complex schedules to smaller ones with simpler routines, Weekly Chores adapt to fit your needs.
