Get yourself a good family organizer. There are several available. There are paper-based solutions and software-based solutions (like the one my company, Mediabee, makes). Whichever solution you pick, be sure that it meets all of the requirements above.

Putting [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] this system in place can [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be very rewarding, because it brings the family closer together as a team, and everyone understands each other better. Whether or not you actually stick with the system for the long haul will depend on how successful you were at getting your family's buy-in. So plan this carefully, and be sure to have a system that periodically rewards good behavior. It worked for my family and I'm sure it can for yours too.
Here are the things to discuss as put this system in place:
Family life is busy. It's hard enough to manage your own time, but in a family you're responsible for managing everyone's time. And like any other team, your family cannot succeed without teamwork. Problem is, even though you may be close to your family members, they still tend to take a lot of things for granted. It's not like you're facing a competing team in a match everyday, so how do you rally the troops to keep your family running smoothly?

But before you implement the solution, remember, you must get your family's buy-in first. Not doing so would be to set yourself up for failure. It is human nature to concentrate on your own priorities, and your spouse and kids are human. (So are you as a matter of fact.) The other, often overlooked, fact is, men, women, and children are differently constructed and their priorities [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] tend to be dramatically different. Hence the need for everyone to get on the same page as you start to put this solution into practice.
The UCLA Center for Everyday Living noted in a recently concluded study that between two careers and parenting, there are three jobs, but only two people to run them. I'd add that there's a fourth job - household management. Keeping all these things running smoothly and retaining your sanity requires efficient management.
Your family organizer should allow you to easily delegate routine tasks to each member of your household. They should have a mechanism to indicate that they are doing their tasks on a regular basis. You can associate a reward system [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] - whether it's allowance money or getting to watch their favorite show - [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] with the amount of progress they're making.
If you take a step back and think about everyday life, it offers some of the same challenges any team of unconnected individuals will come [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to face if they need to live in close quarters and work towards some common goals. In other words, workgroups everywhere face almost exactly the same set of challenges that a family faces. Workgroups spend a lot of time and resources towards managing teamwork. Families generally don't, and they should.
If you're like the typical [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] household organizer, you're barely getting through a day without goading or reminding your spouse, the babysitter, or the kids several times about what chore or homework or sports activity they're supposed to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be doing or not. And, on occasion, either you or your spouse ends up at wrong place or the wrong time, and there is enough frustration to go all around. Surely, there's got [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to be a better way!
There is. It's called family management. No doubt, love is the basis for a happy family. But a little management will go a long way in keeping [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] that institution running smoothly.
Family Management ought to be taught in school. These days, there are some schools offering programs on family management, and that's a good thing. Most of us have never even thought of the term even though we may deal with the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] issues every day. Some of us are probably even good family managers!
Whether you're running a busy household or managing a small team, what you need do to keep things running smoothly are the same:
