How to use Planly Chore Champs

Your template lives in your own Google Drive, so the first step is making your personal copy.

1. Open the PDF from your Etsy purchase (Etsy → You → Purchases and reviews → Download files).
2. Click the “Make my copy” button. If you're asked, sign in to your Google account.
3. Google shows a “Copy document” screen. Click the blue “Make a copy” button.
4. Your copy opens. Rename it if you like (click the title in the top-left), e.g. “Family Chore Chart”.

The five tabs are identical except for how many people they hold: 2 members, 3 members, 4 members, 5 members and 6 members.

1. Count everyone who'll share chores: kids, adults or roommates.
2. Click the matching tab at the bottom of the screen (for example “4 members” for a family of four).
3. Optional: right-click the tabs you won't use and choose Hide, to keep things tidy.

The chart covers one week. Tell it which day the week starts and the date of that first day.

1. In the dropdown above START DATE, keep Sunday (the default) or switch to Monday if your week starts on a Monday.
2. Under START DATE, enter the date of the first day of the week (a Sunday if you chose Sunday).
3. Check the day names and dates across the top of the chart. They fill in for the whole week.

Everyone on the chart gets their own block of chores with their name on it.

1. Under FAMILY MEMBERS, type each person's name next to their number.
2. Each name appears at the start of its own block in the PERSON / IN CHARGE column.
3. Use NOTES for house rules, rewards or reminders (“Allowance on Saturdays if you hit 80%”).

Each person has several chore rows under every day of the week, so chores can change from day to day.

1. Find the first person's block and the first day's column.
2. Type a chore next to each checkbox, for example “Make bed”, “Feed the dog”, “Empty dishwasher”.
3. Repeat for each day. Leave a row blank if that person has fewer chores that day.
4. Fill in each family member's block the same way.

As chores get done, tick the box beside them. The scores update instantly.

1. Click a checkbox to mark a chore done. Click again to undo it.
2. DAILY PROGRESS at the top shows how much of each day's chores the whole household has finished.
3. ACHIEVEMENT beside each person shows their completion score for the week.
4. Only rows with a chore typed in count, so blank rows never pull a score down.

At the end of the week, celebrate the champions and reset the chart in a couple of minutes.

1. Note each person's ACHIEVEMENT score (or take a screenshot) before you reset.
2. Change START DATE to the next week's first day.
3. Select the checkboxes, then press Delete or the space bar to untick them all.
4. Keep the same chores, or rotate them between family members for the new week.
