But making an old-fashioned written chore list doesn’t really do the trick anymore: That spiral notebook doesn’t send you helpful reminders or pop up on your calendar or link you to tips on the best way to wash your comforter. Maybe your day-to-day household catastrophes aren’t quite on the scale of mine (embarrassing as it is), but it’s pretty likely that there’s something in your home that needs some tending to, even if you already tackled a deep spring-cleaning weeks ago. Oh yeah, and it’s Friday night and you’re hungry and need to fix something- anything-for dinner. There are dishes in the sink, the cat is crying to be fed, the light bulb in the hallway has burned out, the trash is overflowing, the floor crunches when you walk on it, and whatever is making that smell in the fridge needs to be exterminated.
