SHARED CHORE HANDOFF WORKSHEET
Who is holding
the rest of the task?
Doing the chore is one part. Noticing it, preparing for it and closing the loop also need a place in the conversation.

A way to describe the work. Not a fairness score.
START WITH ONE ROUTINE
Draft the handoff.
Person A and Person B are neutral placeholders. The choices below are proposed responsibilities, not commitments made on anyone's behalf. Use only where both people are comfortable discussing the task.

Take just this task to paper: prepare your current proposal or a blank four-stage sheet, review it below, then use Print. Printing does not record an agreement or send anything. Save as PDF if your browser offers it.
A proposal to review together
A SHORTER WAY BACK IN
Ask before reopening the task.
Choose one brief invitation before sharing the full proposal. A “no,” “not now” or different suggestion is a complete answer.
This line is generated only in your browser. Copying is optional and does not send, save or record agreement. Do not repeat the invitation if someone declines.
HONEST LITTLE APPS · ONE TASK
Household task proposal
A discussion draft, not an agreement. Each person can change, decline or stop. No signature or score is needed.
Questions or changes to discuss (optional)
Long entries may use more than one page. Check your browser's print preview before printing.
Honest Little Apps created this separate worksheet. Nothing transfers to UnFight. Optional iPhone app: UnFight on the App Store. Current free features and Premium options are listed there.
THREE EVERYDAY CASES
Spot the missing handoff
Each pair has already planned most of a chore. Choose the question or action that resolves the remaining gap, then compare the explanation. These fictional cases are for practice before you discuss a task of your own.
The library returns
One person will take the books to the branch. The stack is ready by the door. Nobody has checked which borrowed items are due this week.
See the question to take into your own handoff
Who will check what is due?
The porch light
A replacement bulb has been chosen. One person will buy it, and another plans to put it in. Both have left the collection time open.
See the question to take into your own handoff
Where will the item be, and when can the next person start?
The clean sheets
Someone has stripped the bed, washed and dried the sheets, and put clean ones on. The spare set is still on the kitchen table. The plan never said what counts as finished.

What would we see when the task is complete?
NAME THE HANDOFF, NOT JUST THE CHORE
“I'll do the laundry”
can mean different things.
One possible interpretation
One person starts the machine. Someone else checks the care labels, notices a missing item, moves the load and puts it away.
A clearer proposal
“Could we talk through one load from noticing it to putting it away, then decide which parts each of us is willing to own?”
There is no required split. One person might own the whole task, different stages might have different owners, or you might choose to revisit the plan later. This page does not compare effort or decide what is fair.
Make “together” specific.
If a stage is shared, use its detail field to describe the handoff. For example: “Person A checks the cupboard; Person B adds the agreed items to the shopping list.” Leaving it vague can hide the decision you still need to make.
WHEN YOU WANT TO FIND THE WORDS
Keep a proposal
separate from an agreement.
UnFight offers editable communication drafts, guided conversations and optional follow-ups. It keeps private proposals distinct from plans both people have actually accepted.

Open UnFight: Couples & Marriage on the App Store
The code opens the App Store. It does not transfer entries or results from this page.
Keep the conversation voluntary.
Does assigning a name mean they agreed?
No. Every assignment is labelled as proposed. A copied worksheet cannot confirm what another person has accepted.
What if we do not want the same split?
You can leave a stage “To discuss,” change the draft or stop. The worksheet does not choose a winner or settle a disagreement.
Can this replace a full household plan?
No. It describes one task. It does not measure time, caregiving, paid work, capacity or every other responsibility in a household.
Are our details saved or sent?
No. The tool does not submit or store entries. Copying places the proposal on your clipboard; you decide whether to share it.
