Today’s jobs, the rooms, the chore chart, spring cleaning and the calendar, filmed in the real template.
What it does that most cleaning templates don’t
We read 54 reviews of other cleaning templates in Notion. People ask most for something simple that’s easy to set up, and the feature they praise is a due date that moves by itself once a job is done. This one starts there and adds the family.
-
Dates that move on their own
Click Done and the next date comes from how often the job repeats: tomorrow for a daily job, a week later for a weekly one.
-
One list for today
Everything due or overdue, grouped by room. A late job shows in red with how many days it’s been waiting.
-
A chore chart with rewards
Everyone gets points for the last 7 days. Give a kid a goal and a reward, and a bar shows how close they are.
-
Starter jobs for every room
54 jobs across 7 rooms, from the dishes to the oven, the gutters and the smoke alarms. Keep the ones that fit your home.
We set it up from a fresh copy, the way you’ll get it: clicked Done and saw the job leave Today and land in the log, cleared the sample family, added a job of our own and finished it, then brought the sample back.
What’s inside
The main page has Today, what’s coming up this week, the family chore chart, your rooms and the shopping list. All tasks, Rooms, Family, Supplies and the Cleaning log each have a page of their own.
Rooms
Each room lists its jobs with when each one is due. The room card on the main page counts what’s due now.
Family
Each person has a page with their points, their reward and every job assigned to them, soonest first.
All tasks
Every job sorted by its next date, with tabs by room, by how often, a calendar and one for deep cleaning and home care.
Spring cleaning
Tick Spring cleaning on the big jobs, like washing the curtains or scrubbing the grout, and they gather in one tab for the weekend you set aside.
Coming up this week
The main page lists every job due in the next 7 days, soonest first, so a busy week never catches you out.
Also in the template
-
Quick jobs
Got ten minutes? This tab lists jobs of 10 minutes or less that are due within 2 days.
-
Paused
Pause a job you don’t need for now, like the gutters in winter. It leaves Today and Coming up until you untick it.
-
Cleaning log
Every Done adds a row with the job, who did it and the day. The chore chart counts from here.
-
Sample family
Sam, Alex and Mia show how it works. One button clears them and their history, and the rooms and starter jobs stay.

Is it right for you?
A good fit if
- You want a cleaning schedule that moves itself forward each time you finish a job.
- You share the chores with a partner, kids or roommates and want to see who did what.
- You’d like your kids to earn a reward with points.
- You want jobs like the oven, the HVAC filter or the smoke alarms to come up on time.
Look elsewhere if
- You want a phone alert for each job. You open Today to see what’s due.
- You want jobs to rotate between people by themselves. You choose who does each one.
- You want set days, like the bathroom every Monday. Dates count from the day you click Done.
Questions
Does it work on the free Notion plan?
Yes, all of it.
What if we skip a few days?
The job waits on Today in red, with the number of days it’s late, until someone finishes it. Its next date counts from then, so a weekly job done on a Thursday is back the following Thursday.
How do points work?
Each job has points. When someone clicks Done, they go to the person the job is assigned to. The chart adds up the last 7 days, so it never drops to zero on a Monday.
Can my partner or roommates use it?
Yes. Share the page with them as guests, and each person clicks Done on their own jobs.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. In the Notion app, open Today and tap Done on a card. Notion doesn’t send alerts for these dates, so add the page to your Favorites and check it once a day.
Can I add my own jobs and rooms?
Yes. Click + Add a job on the main page, name it and pick a room, how often and who does it. It starts as due today. New rooms go in Rooms.
Where does the template go after I pay?
You download a Start here PDF from Etsy with the template link. Open the link and click the Duplicate icon at the top of the page, and the copy is yours to keep and change.

How it works inside
- Next due
- Last done plus the frequency. Twice a week counts as every 3 days, and a job that was never done is due the day it was added.
- When
- Overdue with the number of days in red, Today in blue, Tomorrow, In N days, or Paused.
- Points line
- Points from the last 7 days out of the person’s Reward goal. Reward line turns green once they reach it.
- Quick jobs
- Jobs of 10 minutes or less due within 2 days, without paused ones.
- Clear sample family
- Hides Sam, Alex and Mia with their history and takes them off the jobs. A button at the bottom of Start here brings them back.
Let the dates keep track for you
Pay once, clear the sample family and click Done on your first job.
