Chores

The Chore Maker spreadsheet assigns chores to individuals in a random manner for a one week period. It is able to assign up to eight people to as many as sixteen chores. See also our software for scheduling employees.

You can use this program to:

Assign daily household chores.
Randomly select who must eat their vegetables or other “not-so-favorite” task.
Resolve conflicts such as TV program selection in a fair and impartial manner.
Other applications that involve assigning things.

You simply input the information on the following form, press the “Chore Maker” button until the chore
distribution looks fair, and print the weekly chore schedule.

You are invited to download a copy of this spreadsheet and use it as often as you
like.

The spreadsheet requires Microsoft® Excel® (Version 97 or later) and 154 Kb
of disk space. The compressed, self extracting file is about 133 Kb and should
download in a few seconds. After you have downloaded the self-extracting file
to your scheduling directory, find it in the Windows Explorer and double click
on the program name to extract the spreadsheet.

These spreadsheets have macros to assist you in scheduling. If your
Microsoft® Excel® Macro Security is set to Medium or High you will get a Security Warning
telling you that the spreadsheet contains macros by Shift Schedules. If
you click on the “Details” button you will see that the macros are
digitally signed by Shift Schedules indicating that the macro code has not
been tampered with after it left a Shift Schedules computer. The code is
as safe and trustworthy as it would be if purchased in a shrink-wrapped
box from a regular software retail store. If you check the “Always trust
macros from this source.” box, you will not receive this security warning
whenever you open a Shift Schedules spreadsheet. If you are interested in
more information about Digital Code Signing Certificates you can visit http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537361.aspx
