Why it works
- 1Each room chore repeats a set number of days after you last did it. A run of long shifts moves the next date, so chores do not pile up.
- 2You clear the sink after dinner every day. The habit has no fixed time, so it fits around any shift.
- 3The declutter list has five small steps, from one drawer to the donation drop-off. You can do one step between shifts.
