How to Create To Do and Chore Lists in Jam

There’s nothing better than crossing items off a list! You can use Jam for family To Do lists, personal to do’s, habits, routines and of course, chore lists.

How do I set up a To Do or Chore List?

It takes just a second to create a new list! (You can create as many as you would like).

Navigate to your To Do List home and select Create a New List
Enter a name for your list and select who should have access to it.
Start adding to the list!

You can assign to do list items to one or more family members, as well as add a due date.
If desired, you can set items to automatically repeat as often as you would like (daily, weekly, monthly or custom), which is perfect for chore lists, routines or habits.

Who should I give access to my child’s chore list?

We recommend parents and the child. If there is a caregiver in the household who will also be supervising chores, they can be added as well.

Can my child check off or delete chores that I put on their list?

All kids can check items off their lists. Beyond that, kids' level of editing access vary based on the role you have assigned to them: Little Kid, Big Kid or Teen.

Why do some To Do’s show up on my calendar but others don’t?

If you are assigned to a To Do list item with a due date, then it will appear on your calendar as well on its due date.

What types of lists does Jam work best with?

Any and all lists!

These are the most popular types of lists Jam families create:

Our Household To Do List - a master list of the every day things that need to get done
Individual Chore Lists - one chore list created per child with recurring tasks
Routine/Habit Lists – similar to chores, a routine list helps both adults and kids build healthy routines into their day, whether it’s for hygiene, self-care, health/vitamins/supplements or morning/evening routines.
Lists for specific events – Sometimes it’s nice to have one dedicated list for larger projects: Birthday party to do list, vacation prep to do list, garage project to do list, etc
Household Maintenance Lists - Get all the recurring tasks for your home on one list so nothing falls through the cracks.
