Questions
How do you split chores fairly?
Take turns at the ones nobody wants. A weekly rotation gets there without an argument.
How often should a cleaning rota rotate?
Weekly. Long enough to own a chore, short enough that nobody is stuck with the worst one.
What if someone skips their chore?
Most chores are forgotten, not refused. A day and a time everyone can see removes the excuse.
Does everyone need to install an app?
No. Dyal runs in the browser, and a housemate only needs the link to see the week.
