Cleaning Plan with Best4Family

In the task form, choose Daily, Twice a week, Weekly, Every 2 weeks or Monthly. Back in Cleaning Plan, Generate tasks creates assignments due today. Week shows existing assignments in the current week. Monthly scheduling still has a known issue, so check monthly entries yourself.

Get organised in a few steps

  1. 1

    Select a frequency

    Open Tasks & Areas, choose Tasks and open the task form. The windowsill example has Monthly selected. Read the limitation for that frequency.

  2. 2

    Save an assigned person

    Also choose an area and person. In this example, wiping the table is assigned to Emma daily and cleaning the bathroom to Sofia weekly.

  3. 3

    Generate tasks due today

    Return to Cleaning Plan and choose Generate tasks. On Friday, 18 September, the example creates the daily table assignment.

  4. 4

    Check the existing week

    Open Week. It shows the prepared Monday assignment and the newly generated Friday assignment. Empty days do not confirm that every future task has already been planned.

What helps along the way

The essentials at a glance

Part 01

Task templates offer five frequencies.

Part 02

The Android action generates assignments due today from active templates with selected people.

Part 03

The week view arranges existing assignments by date.

If something looks wrong

No task appears for today after I save the template.

Check its frequency, active state and selected people. Generation includes only templates due today and skips assignments that already exist for that day.

Less coordination, a clearer view

Bring your family plans together.
