Share household chores fairly with a rota

Use this guide when one person is doing most of the housework or chores keep causing arguments. Get everyone who lives in the home together with a sheet of paper or a shared note and about an hour.

Step by step

1. List every task

   Write down everything that keeps the home running, from cooking, cleaning and laundry to bins, pet care, shopping and paying bills. Include invisible jobs such as planning meals, booking appointments and remembering birthdays. Note roughly how often each one needs doing.
