Why it works

  1. 1Two minutes of planning each day sets tomorrow's first task. It has no fixed time, so it fits around any shift.
  2. 2The life-admin list has five small steps: a subscription, a bill, an appointment, a renewal and the mail pile. Each step is small, so you can do one between shifts.
  3. 3Each 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.
