Feature 02 · Chores and routines

Small steps, a clear goal.

Every chore can have steps and a reference photo. Several chores become a routine that leads the way, step by step.

Examples: the Evans family · the Taylor family

Chore “Tidy your room” with steps and a reference photo
From family life

Two examples.

The Evans family · one home Harry (7) and James

Bedtime without five reminders.

The situation

Pack your school bag, brush your teeth, pyjamas on, one more book. Every evening James says the same four sentences, usually more than once.

How it works with Choreaction

  1. James picks the “Bedtime routine” template and tweaks it: four chores, Sunday to Thursday.
  2. Harry only ever sees the next chore. Once his school bag is packed, “Brush your teeth” comes up.
  3. When the chain is complete, there's a big celebration and a 10-coin bonus.

James just asks: “How far along is your routine?” The app takes care of the rest.

The Taylor family · two homes Oliver (11) and Mum

Tidying up in four steps.

The situation

“Tidy your room” is a huge job with no clear start for Oliver. And what “tidy” means, Oliver and Mum see differently.

How it works with Choreaction

  1. The chore has four steps: make the bed, clothes in the wardrobe, toys in the boxes, clear the desk.
  2. Mum took a reference photo once: this is what done looks like.
  3. At the end, Oliver sends a photo. Mum approves it, and the 20 coins arrive.

No more arguing about what “done” means. They both have the same picture in mind.

ADHD-friendly

Why it helps with ADHD

  • Small steps: a big chore with no clear start is paralysing. A short checklist makes the first step small.
  • An order that leads the way: in a routine, the next chore only appears once the last one is done. Nothing gets lost.
  • Pictures, not words: a reference photo is understood faster than any explanation.

And for everyone else? Seven-year-olds without ADHD forget their toothbrush too. The routine helps every sibling, without anyone getting a special rule.

In detail

  • Steps: a checklist per chore, so “tidy your room” doesn't feel so huge any more.
  • Reference photo: “This is what done looks like”. A photo says more than any instruction.
  • Routines: a bedtime routine or “Before school”. The next chore appears as soon as the last one is done.
  • Up for grabs: taking the bins out goes to whoever taps “I'll do it!” first, or it takes turns.
  • Suggestions and templates: kids suggest chores, grown-ups approve them. Ready-made templates by age for a quick start.

Be there when it starts.
