I just spent some time building a summer chores board for the family and WOW the automation you can set up in trello now is pretty great.
-
The board has... A list named "Today." This is the only day they need to focus on. It has every chore they need to do. A list named "Done." When they do things in Today, they move them to Done. Each card is a chore. Chores have checklists. "Acceptance criteria," if you will.
-
Each card has an assignee. Yes, they're already fighting over who's assigned to which card 🙄 Some chores they do every day - I put a
daily
label on them. The automation, pt 1: every morning, any card in "Done" with adaily
label gets moved back to "Today". -
Automation pt 2: Any card moved back to "Today" gets its checklist reset. So at the beginning of every day, they have a fresh list of chores, each with a reset checklist.

We have had literally zero success ever getting our kids to reliably do chores so this surely crash and burn and be unused within a week, but hey, at least I got to rekindle my love for Trello.
