One printable page for a shared household: a 7-day weekly grid with 5 write-in chore rows, and a roommate split table that assigns each chore a name and a day with a done box at the end. Under the tables you get the weekly rotation rule that keeps one person off trash forever, four opinions on chore peace, and four notes lines. Print one copy per week, tape it to the fridge, and let the sheet settle the whose-turn-is-it question.
How to use this page: write the week's chores in the grid, tick or initial a box when the job is done, and keep the split table filled so every chore has one name and one day attached. The three example rows show the shape of a filled-in grid; write over them. At the end of the week, shift the split table down one row and print a fresh sheet. Two minutes of rewriting buys a week without negotiation.
| Chore (write-in) | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| example: dishes | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ |
| example: trash and recycling out | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ |
| example: wipe counters and table | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ |
| ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | |
| ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ |
The grid holds any five recurring jobs: dishes, trash, bathroom, vacuum, plants, bills night, whatever your household repeats. Five rows is deliberate; a grid long enough for every possible chore becomes a wall of unchecked boxes nobody reads. Tick the box or initial it when the job is done, so a half-done week is visible at a glance.
| Name | Chore | Day | Done |
|---|---|---|---|
| example: Sam | dishes | Tue and Sat | ☐ |
| ☐ | |||
| ☐ | |||
| ☐ | |||
| ☐ | |||
| ☐ |
The weekly rotation: fill the split table in the order you agreed on, and each week every person moves down one row, so the one who had trash all week takes dishes next week and the one on dishes takes whatever is last. Nobody rides the same chore for a month, and the swap is written down instead of remembered differently. Two minutes of rewriting once a week is cheaper than the standing argument over whose turn it is.
Opinions from a chart that stuck, not survey data. Take what fits your household.
This chart is one page of the same household notebook as the free quarterly home reset checklist, the home maintenance log printable, the weekly cleaning schedule template, and the monthly bill tracker printable. The chart covers who does what this week; the maintenance log covers the jobs that repeat on a monthly or yearly rhythm.
