I’m really enjoying reading all the articles on this site…this one especially has piqued my interest to really give it a go and make it work in our house. It’s such a simple way of visualising tasks and kids can see that they are achieving something…I have three kids who I’m going to work with this on as their bedrooms are a constant source of irritation – especially my boy! As he’s highly competitive, I’m sure this will help him…and the two girls both need to learn to focus on a task and end up constantly allowing them selves to be sidetracked! I’m not expecting a cure-all but some positive movement forward would be good! Thanks for the ideas.

While they provide visual tracking, they otherwise do not ease the process. I use kanban at work for software development so I thought I would give it a try at home. Kanban can be used to break down big projects into manageable chunks — sub-tasks within the project. It requires that you finish one chunk before moving to the next. Kanban has made “problem chores” easier and fun." [...]

Janice, thanks so much for sharing this. I super love how you map Morgan’s value stream with “Ready,” “Set,” “Go,” and incentivize/reward quality control with a gold star.
