We're back to Chore Wars! I've decided we need to do something to get the kids motivated again, the whole household for that matter! So far I'm the only level 2 in our whole band, but that shouldn't be surprising. I do the most chores out of my family, so it should be expected.
I'm finding that I really like Chore Wars. You can assign "adventures" for any household task, even decorating for the holidays if you want. It may not seem like terribly much of a big thing, but I think it's fun. It's been great for determining how we're going to sort out allowances when the kids get older. Better still, my partner and I have a little secret competition going on when we've actually got it running to see who can do more chores! It's a wonderful way to get the house clean with a little bit of healthy competition.
Today I just updated the chore list. Given that we're in a situation where more chores can be assigned in common areas, I just dumped a few more on the list. Having internet at home will help with that one too. I'll have more ability to actually log in and update everyone! I'm even getting one of my room mates involved, so we'll see how that goes. I'm sure she'll be wracking up a lot of points on her room for the next few days! She's got a lot of organizing and work to get done in there. I guess that's what happens when more than one person is moving in at a time!
This whole thing has really gotten me inspired. There's just so much to do, so I might as well get to it, right? How else am I supposed to get this place in order? I think a little bit of friendly competition is healthy anyway. After all, competition with anyone (even yourself) inspires you to do better, right? Anything that gets my house cleaner and my children to participate!
