A Simple Solution to Tackle Household Chores and Reclaim Your Time

Cleaning my house used to be a colossal challenge. Attempting to tackle everything in one go demanded an entire day, leaving me with no time for my hobbies or work. Juggling a busy schedule and numerous interests, maintaining a clean home seemed daunting and unachievable. My living space became a perpetual mess, with dust accumulating, a perpetually dirty kitchen, and neglected household tasks.

Realizing the magnitude of my chore-related struggles, I embarked on a journey to find a solution. I experimented with various approaches, from task managers to habit trackers, but none proved sustainable. Unexpected events, busy days, and fluctuating moods consistently derailed my efforts. The conventional tools and methods turned into additional burdens, compounding my tendency to postpone chores.

Frustrated, I delved into self-discovery to understand why traditional approaches failed me. While my motivation to maintain a clean house existed, it wasn't robust enough to conquer the task's enormity. Unable to boost my motivation universally, I opted for a simpler path - breaking down the tasks into manageable components through effective decomposition.

Dividing the mammoth task of "clean the house" into smaller activities like "Remove dust in bedroom" and "mop the floor in kitchen" gave me a concise list. However, the challenge persisted as I hesitated to sacrifice an entire day for cleaning. The breakthrough came when I started scheduling these tasks, transforming the overwhelming chore into manageable segments.

Traditional task managers posed another hurdle. Recurring tasks with specific due dates proved impractical for maintenance activities like "change aquarium water" or "water flowers." The need for flexible intervals led me to ditch conventional task managers and adopt a Google Sheet with sophisticated formulas. It allowed me to create a task system based on intervals instead of rigid due dates.

While this approach showed promise, further decomposing tasks into smaller, more manageable elements proved even more effective. Tasks like "clean dust on the bookshelf" became achievable, motivating, and easy to fit into my schedule. The result? Instead of sporadically facing the overwhelming task of "clean house," I embraced daily, smaller tasks to maintain a consistently clean, fresh, and healthy home.

Despite these positive changes, the system wasn't flawless. The size of the task list made the Google Sheet unwieldy, lacking in notifications for forgotten tasks. Realizing that a dedicated application was necessary, I discovered Todo Home, a task manager designed explicitly for household chores.

Todo Home offered everything I needed and more. The app enables the creation of different projects to group tasks, such as home chores, maintenance, shopping, or health care. Tasks have intervals instead of due dates, with reminders to ensure timely completion. Sharing projects with a spouse facilitates task division and promotes a clean and healthy home environment.

The app's score reward system introduced an element of fun and motivation. Assigning scores to tasks, approving completed tasks, and accumulating points added a competitive edge. At the week's end, seeing who collected more points became a source of satisfaction and reward.

Now, my daily routine involves balancing work, hobbies, and small tasks from Todo Home. If I'm not in the mood, I simply ignore the app, knowing there's always another day to complete tasks. Weekends are no longer consumed by overwhelming chores; instead, they become an opportunity to enjoy, with additional tasks completed based on my mood.

Todo Home offers a free plan, allowing users to experience its benefits without any financial commitment. Paid plans come with additional features, details of which can be found at todohome.app/subscription.

If household chores overwhelm you, give Todo Home a try. It transformed my perspective on cleaning, and I'm confident it can do the same for you. I have spare coupons for 5-30% discounts on paid plans. Leave a comment describing your problem or belief that Todo Home can help, and I'll send you a coupon.
