About this household chore wheel
The gap between noticing the flat needs tidying and actually starting is usually spent deciding which job to do first. This wheel closes that gap. The entries are deliberately small — a shelf, a room, one load of laundry — because a list of whole-day projects produces the same stalling the wheel was meant to fix.
Rename everything for your home. “Sweep one room” is vague; “sweep the kitchen” is a task you can finish. Break anything that would take more than about fifteen minutes into two entries. The useful size is a chore you can start immediately and see the end of, which is what makes the next spin appealing rather than daunting.
No Repeats is the starting mode and the right one for a single tidying session: spin, do the task, spin again, and each completed chore stays out of the draw. When the round finishes you have worked through the list. For a household that shares the same chores every week, the habit worth forming is starting a new round each weekend rather than rebuilding the list.
This wheel picks tasks, not people. If you also need to decide who does it, that is a second wheel with names on it, run separately — trying to encode both into one list gives you a lot of entries and an uneven split. A name wheel in Fair Round gives everyone a turn before anyone repeats.
Worth being clear about: a spin records that a chore was drawn, not that it was done. Nobody is checking. If you spin by accident, Undo Last Spin puts the entry back into the round as long as nothing else has been saved since.

Questions about the household chore wheel
Does spinning mark a chore as completed?
No. The result records which chore was selected. Your household decides when the work is actually finished.
Can I assign chores to people?
This wheel chooses a task. Agree the person separately, or use the name picker for a separate draw.
How do we reuse the list next weekend?
Start a new round to make the selected tasks eligible again without rebuilding the list.
