Take care of your home and everyday care responsibilities with Home Routines. Create adaptable routine checklists with reminders to keep you on track, and a gold star for each completed task. Lists can invisibly reset, so you can start afresh each morning, week, or month. Reduce decision fatigue and overwhelm with our “One Thing” mode - simply tap to be given just one task to focus on from all of today’s lists. A built-in timer helps you dedicate a period of time to the task at hand. You can close off a list even with tasks yet incomplete, to accommodate life’s ever-changing plans as well as changes to your capacity on the day - or complete the same list multiple times. Customize your own detailed cleaning and decluttering lists within the Focus Zones section. Add rooms and tasks to suit your home, and follow a looping schedule to help focus your attention one area at a time. Create your own schedule, or stay in sync with other followers of systems like FlyLady. Home Routines’ Accomplishments list is the “Tada!” to your todo - review the tasks you’ve completed today, and celebrate by sharing your victories large and small. You’re doing great. All our core features are freely available, with more fun and flair for subscribers. If you're coming from the original Home Routines we've got you covered with a option to easily import your existing data.
