Checklists make it possible to assign each member of your household a chore or room to clean, allowing them to assess the things that need to be done in each room before they are considered clean. To set up a system, laminate the checklists and use a dry-erase marker to assign tasks. Hang the checklist in each assigned room, either on the wall or on a clipboard, and have each person sign off after they complete the checklist.

For example; if you have guests over for a cook-out on the patio every Friday evening, clean the patio every Friday morning to ensure it is ready for guests. Take a walk through your home room by room and write down each task that needs to be completed in each room. Assign these rooms to a specific day so your focus is on the checklist at hand, and you don't run around trying to clean three rooms at once.
