Play it clean
A points system for the jobs you keep putting off
Magnets on your fridge, a points key made for your home, and a treat at the finish. The hard jobs are worth more, so the ones you dread stop being the ones you skip.
Designed with ADHD in mind, and it suits any household where "just do it" has not worked.
A digital pack. You get printable PDFs by email. Magnetic labels, boards and pens are not included, but your pack comes with a shopping list of exactly what to buy.
Goal: family pizza night at 10,000
Top scorer wins: choosing the film
Try it: tap a magnet and choose who did it, or tap someone’s column on board 3 to add a small job in pen. Then press
Points follow how hard a job is to start, not how long it takes
Most chore charts count minutes. This one counts resistance, because that is what stops us.
Your pack scores every job in your home using these five things, so the number on each magnet matches how the job really feels in your house.
- Getting the kit outThe hoover lives downstairs and the job is upstairs. Fetching, plugging in and putting away all count.
- How grim it isA toilet or a kitchen bin is worth more than a dusty shelf, even when it takes the same time.
- How much it weighs on youSorting through belongings with memories attached takes a toll that a stopwatch does not show.
- How hard it is to beginJobs with lots of steps or decisions before the first useful thing happens score higher.
- Carrying thingsBags, baskets and kit up the stairs or out to the bins add resistance.

Common questions
Do I need a laminator?
No. Your pack is printed on ordinary paper. The labels are magnetic dry-erase labels that you write on with a pen.
How long does it take to set up?
Plan an afternoon. You write the labels and draw the board lines once. Our example homes needed about 80 labels each. Most of the effort is at the start, and the system then runs on a ten-minute Sunday routine.
What if I do not have a vax, a dishwasher or a tumble dryer?
The questionnaire asks, and your pack leaves out jobs you cannot do.
