- Color coding is a good way to make organization charts easier to read. It can be helpful to assign each person a color when making a weekly schedule so each family member can quickly see where he is supposed to be each day. Assigning colors to family members can be used for schedule charts and chore charts to help each family member know what his individual responsibilities are.
- Simple organization charts are easier to read and more likely to be used. Overly complicated organization charts may be ignored by busy family members and tend to be overlooked because they contain too much information. Keep organization charts simple, clean and easy to read by creating a different chart for different family needs. Chore charts should be kept separately from schedule charts. Color codes should be kept consistent on every organization chart in the home to make them easy to read.
- Family members are more likely to use organization charts if they are included in their creation. Have kids help create chore charts and be put in charge of updating the chart each week and checking off their completed tasks. Put organization charts in an easily accessible area of the home so family members can quickly and easily see what their responsibilities are and keep the organization charts updated as they complete a task.
