Checklist and Chores Instructional

Homeschooling involves more than just academic assignments. Other tasks and chores also need to fit into each day. Let’s walk through how to use Well Planned Gal’s Online Planning to keep track of chores and other tasks throughout the week. Checklists are completely customizable and can be used for anything that fits your unique family needs.

Creating a Task List

Start by logging into your Online Planning account, then click on the Checklist icon in the menu bar. Once you’re on this page, click Add List to start your first task list.

• Click Add List Name to name your list. This could be a child’s name, a specific task, or whatever else might fit your need.
• Choose the relevant days of the week for this task list.
• Click Add Task and add a task name or set of instructions. Assign that task to one or more students or to yourself. (To select multiple names, simply hold down the Ctrl button on your keyboard as you click the names.
• Click the checkmark to add the task.
• Repeat until you have added all tasks that need to be on this task list, then repeat for additional checklists.

Utilizing Task Lists

Your admin view allows you to see all of the checklists you create.

If your students have their own logins, they will only be able to see tasks assigned to them. They will also be able to check off completed tasks. When those tasks are checked off, they will show up for you under completed tasks. You will also be able to see at a glance what percentage of the task list has been completed.

To reset any list for a new day or week, simply click the box beside a completed task, and it will automatically return to the list of tasks that need to be completed.

Additional Features

Here are a few other features included in the checklists:

• Click the minus in the top left corner of a list to minimize the list and simplify your checklist page.
• Click the box directly below the minimize icon to archive the list.
• Click the paperclip in the top right corner to have tasks show up on your students’ printed weekly schedules.
• Click the duplicate icon in the top right corner to copy the list.
• Click the trash can icon to delete the list.

You can revisit archived lists at any time by clicking the Archive icon in the top right corner of the task page.

With the Checklist function, keeping up with chores, special projects, and other tasks is easier than ever!
