Why does the chore rota work perfectly until Wednesday? Somebody has football, somebody forgets, and by Thursday one parent is doing everything again. Family Chore Planner builds a plan around the week you actually have, with the jobs split by who is home and how old they are, rather than an even split that ignores real life.
Short answer: Family Chore Planner is a free EizTools tool that turns your household jobs into a workable schedule. Set the timeframe, detail level and priority focus, and it returns a chore plan split across the people in your home.
What is Family Chore Planner?
Family Chore Planner takes a list of household jobs and the people available to do them, and returns a plan with days, owners and a sensible order. It handles daily jobs, weekly jobs and the ones that only need doing once a month and get forgotten every time.
Why Chore Lists Collapse
Most rotas fail for the same three reasons. They give a child a job they cannot do properly, they assume every evening is free, and they have no answer for the week somebody is away.
A plan that names the day, the person and roughly how long a job takes survives contact with a real week. A list of jobs stuck on the fridge does not.
How Does Family Chore Planner Work?
- List the jobs and the people in the prompt box, with ages and the evenings that are already busy.
- Choose a model from the list above.
- Open the advanced options and set Timeframe, Detail Level, Priority Focus and Format.
- Press generate and read the plan that lands underneath.
- Download it as HTML to print for the kitchen, or as Word to edit first.
Every run stacks up under the last, so a term time plan and a school holiday plan can be read against each other before you commit.
Timeframe, Detail And Priority
| Option | What it changes | Suggested setting |
|---|---|---|
| Timeframe | The window the plan covers | Week, which matches how households run |
| Detail Level | How much each job is spelled out | Standard, with Detailed for younger children |
| Priority Focus | What the plan optimises for | Balance, so no one person carries the week |
| Format | Timeline, calendar, table or list | Table, easiest to read on a fridge door |
Fitting Real Ages
| Age | Jobs that usually work |
|---|---|
| 3 to 5 | Toys away, laundry into the basket, feeding a pet with help |
| 6 to 9 | Laying the table, making a bed, sorting recycling, watering plants |
| 10 to 13 | Loading the dishwasher, hoovering, taking bins out, own laundry |
| 14 and over | Cooking one meal a week, ironing, changing bedding, food shop list |
Try this Put each child's age in the prompt rather than just their name. The plan then hands out jobs they can finish alone, which is the difference between help and supervision.
Buffer Time And Alternatives
Two toggles matter here. Include Buffer Time leaves space around jobs so a busy Tuesday does not knock the whole week over. Include Alternatives gives a swap for each job, which is what saves the plan when somebody is ill or away. Include Notes adds short instructions, and Include Milestones marks the bigger seasonal jobs.
What works
- Splits jobs by age instead of dividing everything equally.
- Buffer time makes the plan survive a normal week.
- Printable straight from the download options.
- Free, so you can rebuild it each term without thinking about it.
What it does not fix
- Follow through. A plan nobody checks becomes a poster.
- It does not know your house, so some jobs will need renaming.
- Rewards and pocket money are decisions you still make yourself.
The AI tools on EizTools are free, with no login and no usage counter. Each has settings written for the job it does, and plans download as TXT, Word or HTML when you want them on paper. When the plan is agreed and you want each job turned into a dated to do list, the Task Assistant handles that step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should the plan change?
Once a term is enough for most families. Rebuild it when the timetable changes, a child gets older, or the same job keeps being skipped.
Should chores be linked to pocket money?
That is a household decision. Many families separate basic jobs from paid extras, so nobody negotiates over emptying the dishwasher.
Can it plan for one parent households?
Yes. Say who is available and when in the prompt, and the plan works around those hours rather than assuming two adults are home.
What about a week when everything changes?
Turn on Include Alternatives before generating. Each job then comes with a swap, so a missed evening moves rather than disappearing.
The point of a chore plan is not fairness on paper. It is a week where nobody has to ask who is doing what, and where the answer is written down when they do. Build one around your real evenings, print it, and change it the moment a term timetable moves. Start in Family Chore Planner above.
