Responsibility, not reminders
Whole jobs get an owner, including the noticing and the following up, so one adult stops being the household’s memory.
Planner
The Two-Adult Family Planner
An undated home management system for sharing household planning, tasks and responsibilities.
A home runs on more than chores. Someone has to notice what needs doing, decide who owns it, remember when it is due and check afterwards that it happened. This planner puts that work on the page so it stops living in one person’s head. Eight sections — Start, Setup, Divide, Months, Weeks, Food, House and Notes — move through four steps: notice it, assign it, plan it, review it.
The digital edition is one purchase and nine files: print editions in US Letter and A4, each in colour and black and white, plus five interactive editions with more than 11,000 form fields — undated, and one for each year from 2027 to 2030.

What’s inside
Two adults. One set of pages.
The Family Command Center sits at the front, so both adults know where to look before asking each other. Behind it, the week pages carry the parts of family logistics that usually go unrecorded: Driving and handoffs, Dinner, who is On Duty, and a line for what was not done and moved to next week. Months hold bills, renewals and deadlines in a what, due, owner, paid table, alongside one thing the house gets maintained this month. The Divide section is where responsibilities get an owner rather than a reminder, and the weekly review asks who carried more than agreed — while it is still a question rather than an argument.
A week you can both see
Driving, handoffs, dinner and who is on duty are written down, so the week stops arriving as a series of surprises.
Undated, so it waits for you
Start in any month. Skip a fortnight and pick it up again without a run of blank dated pages making the case that you failed.
A look inside
The same planner in both editions, so you can see the layout before you buy.
Before you buy
What exactly do I get with the digital edition?
A print-ready PDF of the whole planner, bought from Google Play Books, with a download link inside the file for the complete bundle: both paper sizes, colour and black and white, plus five interactive editions — undated and 2027 through 2030. The printed book from Lulu does not include those; it is the bound planner on its own.
What paper size is it?
The Lulu book is US Letter, 8.5 × 11 in, portrait. The bundle includes both US Letter and A4 print files, so you can print on whichever paper you have. The interactive editions are 11 × 8.5 in landscape, sized for a tablet screen.
Is the print edition coil-bound?
Yes. It opens flat on a desk and folds back on itself. It is printed and shipped by Lulu, in colour.
How do I fill it in on a tablet?
Use one of the interactive editions from the download. They use standard PDF form fields: tap a field, type, then save the file so your entries are kept.
Do I have to start in January?
No. The undated edition can start in any month, and it does not expire. The dated editions cover 2027 to 2030 if you would rather have the dates filled in.
Where does the purchase actually happen?
On the retailer's own site. Print editions are handled by Lulu and digital editions by Google Play Books, so payment, delivery and any refund are handled under their terms, not ours.
