Each task, with how long it takes and how often it is due, becomes the minutes a week your routine adds up to

AThe routine, at a glance

Turns the minutes and the interval you type for each task into the minutes a week and the minutes a thirty-day month that task takes, foots those by the rooms and the people you name, prints the gap between the routine and the time a week you say you have, and shows the working for every figure it prints.

Every task, every duration, every interval, every room label and every person label is typed by you, and this page asserts nothing about any of them. It supplies no task and no task list, no room and no room list, no suggested interval and no typical duration, so it never says how often anything should come round, how long anything should take, or who should do it. It recommends no product, chemical, cleaner, detergent, tool, equipment or method, and it never says that anything cleans, disinfects, sanitises, kills, removes or protects against anything. It makes no health, hygiene, allergen, mould, damp, asbestos, lead, pest, bacteria, virus or air-quality claim of any kind. It says nothing about what a landlord, tenant, letting agent, employer, inspector, standard, certification or licence requires, it carries no bond, deposit, end-of-tenancy, handover, turnover or move-out claim, and it signs nothing off, accepts nothing and certifies nothing. It prints no money, no price, no cost, no wage, no charge and no amount of any kind, and it says nothing about what a clean is worth. It calls no routine adequate, thorough, sufficient or safe, it grades nothing, it flags nothing and it never orders a room or a person by size. Nothing you type leaves your browser, nothing is stored anywhere, and the figures are gone when the tab closes.

BThe tasks, and the time a week you say you have

Say how many rows you want, then type each task with how long it takes once and how often it comes round. The room and the person on a row are headings of your own: a row with neither still counts in the week and sits in a named ungrouped bucket, so both sets of subtotals still reconcile.

Every row here is yours. This page offers no task, no room, no interval and no duration, so nothing is filled in for you, and an initial is enough in the person column because no name is asked for anywhere on this page.

CEvery task, converted

One row for each task row you asked for. Each row carries the task as you typed it, the two figures typed on it, the minutes a week and the minutes a thirty-day month the engine works out of them, and which of five states the row is in. A finished row prints its own two figures even while another row is unfinished, because a row is finished on its own. Everything else on this page is a view of this one table.

DThe rooms you named

The minutes a week that each room heading you typed carries, in the order your own rows first name them. Any row counted in the week that carries no room goes into a named bucket of its own, which prints where such a row exists. The rooms are not ordered by size and nothing here says a room should take any particular time.

EThe people you named

These rows footed the other way: the minutes a week that each person heading you typed carries. Any row counted in the week that carries nobody goes into a named bucket of its own, which prints where such a row exists. The people are not ordered by size, and nothing here says who should do which task.

FThe rows, counted

Four plain counts of rows, so that the week in the panel is not read as taking in a row it leaves out.

GEvery figure, worked

The arithmetic this page performs, written out of the figures you typed. Every weekly figure is carried at four decimal places, and every figure this block adds or subtracts is one of those carried figures, so a line printed here is exact in its own printed characters. Each line names its own arithmetic in its own words, and the lines this page is holding back say so instead.

The additions

HThe two sets, reconciled

These rows are grouped two independent ways, and both sets have to come back to the one week. The comparison is printed here at four decimal places, because a comparison printed at one would hide a disagreement in the fourth. While the entry is unfinished the block says so instead of printing it.

IWhat this page is waiting for, and what it read

Every sentence here names a state this page reads off what you typed: the six it tells apart, and two more about what has not been typed yet, which are a row still blank and no row yet carrying an interval of a day or more. None of them is an error and none of them is advice.

JWhat the words here mean, and how the figures are read

A task

One row. A row is a thing you do again, with how long it takes once and how often it comes round. This page supplies no task: the twenty rows ship empty and stay empty until you type in them.

How long it takes

Whole minutes, nought to six hundred, for one occasion of the task and not for a week of it. This page offers no typical duration and says nothing about how long anything should take.

How often it comes round

Whole days, nought to three hundred and sixty-five, meaning the task is done once every that many days. This page offers no frequency and says nothing about how often anything should come round. A figure outside the range is read in either direction as a figure not typed, and is never pulled to the nearest figure the control offers.

The minutes a week

How long it takes once, multiplied by seven, divided by how often it comes round in days. A twenty-minute job every three days takes forty-six and two thirds minutes a week, which is the arithmetic nobody does in their head, and section G prints it row by row.

The week as a clock reading

The weekly figure read off a clock. The week is rounded to the whole minute and then split into whole hours and the whole minutes left over, so the pair multiplies back to that whole minute and not to the decimal printed beside it. A routine that rounds to no minutes reads as no hours and no minutes, while the first row of the panel still prints a figure for it.

The minutes a thirty-day month

That figure again with thirty in place of seven. The thirty is a thirty-day month, not a calendar month: this page carries no calendar, no date and no month name, and a thirty-day month is stated as what it is wherever the figure is printed.

An interval of nought days

A row typed as coming round every nought days has no minutes-a-week figure at all. It is not divided by nothing and it is not read as a daily task: it prints as having no weekly figure, it sits in neither subtotal set, it is in no total, and the count of rows carrying no recurrence is printed in section F so the week is not read as taking it in.

A row with one figure typed and not the other

A row carrying its minutes and no interval, or its interval and no minutes, is unfinished and not nothing. While any row is unfinished the week, both subtotal sets and the gap print as withheld, the sentence in the panel says how many rows are unfinished, and the finished rows still print their own two figures.

The ungrouped bucket

A row with no room typed sits in a bucket named for that in the room set; a row with nobody typed sits in a bucket named for that in the person set. A row counts in the week whichever headings it carries, which is why both sets reconcile to the one week and not to a part of it.

The time a week you say you have

Whole minutes, nought to ten thousand and eighty, which is the minutes in a week. Blank is a real state and not a nought: with nothing typed the week prints and the gap does not, and the panel says so in place of a figure. Nothing here says what that figure ought to be.

The precision

A weekly figure is rounded once, to four decimal places, away from nought at a half, and every sum on this page is a sum of those rounded figures. In the tables and the panel a figure is shown to one decimal place. Where a positive weekly figure would show as nothing at one decimal place, the row prints under 0.1 minutes a week instead, because a task done once a year is a real figure and a small one.

The twenty rows

Twenty is the number of task rows this page offers. A row on the page with neither its minutes nor its interval typed is a task still to be sized, so the week, both subtotal sets and the gap wait for it. Lowering the count leaves the rows after it out of every figure without clearing what is typed in them, so a row put aside can be brought back, and a routine of one task prints a figure for one task.

KThe decisions this page does not make

Each of these is yours. None of them is decided here, and no option set out here is recommended.

Which tasks are on the list

A list of jobs is a claim about what a home needs doing, and it varies by house, by surface, by what is in the house and by who lives in it. This page publishes none and asks you for yours. If what you wanted was a list of jobs to start from, a free printable is the better document and this is the wrong page.

How often each one comes round

A ready-made checklist usually arrives with its frequencies decided for you. This page supplies not one: how often a floor is done is a fact about your floor, and a page that published a figure would be wrong for somebody the day it shipped.

How long each one takes

A duration is a claim about how fast somebody works and about the thing being worked on. There is no typical minute figure anywhere here, and the row stays unfinished until you type one.

Which heading a task carries

The rooms and the people on this page are headings of your own choosing, and one row can carry any of them. A row with neither is not a mistake: it counts in the week and sits in the named ungrouped bucket of both sets.

Who does which task, and whether the sheet leaves your screen

This page says nothing about who should do what, and nothing about whether a routine should be split at all. The sheet beside this page carries every task with its own interval and the two sets of subtotals, written so that somebody who was not there when it was filled in can read it; whether they get a copy is yours.

LWhat this page will not do

• It supplies no task and no task list, no room and no room list, no interval and no duration. Every one of those is typed by you.
• It recommends no product, chemical, cleaner, detergent, tool, equipment or method, and it never says that anything cleans, disinfects, sanitises, kills, removes or protects against anything.
• It makes no health, hygiene, allergen, mould, damp, asbestos, lead, pest, bacteria, virus or air-quality claim of any kind.
• It says nothing about what a landlord, tenant, letting agent, employer, inspector, standard, certification or licence requires, and it carries no bond, deposit, end-of-tenancy, handover, turnover or move-out claim.
• It signs nothing off, accepts nothing, approves nothing and certifies nothing, and it records no visit, no turnover and no occasion of anything being done. Every row on it is a recurrence and not an event.
• It prints no money, no price, no cost, no wage, no charge and no amount of any kind, anywhere on this page or in the workbook beside it, and it says nothing about what a clean is worth or what anybody should charge.
• It makes no staffing, hiring, rota, delegation or scheduling recommendation, and it says nothing about who should do what.
• It calls no routine adequate, thorough, sufficient, safe or enough. There is no verdict, no grade, no colour and no flag on it, and no room and no person is ever ordered by size.
• It prints no percentage and no share of the routine, because a share would be an ordering of the rooms and the people you named.
• It carries no calendar, no date, no month name and no clock time. It measures no elapsed time: there is no start, no finish and no punch on it, and it multiplies a duration you typed by a recurrence you typed.
• It invents no household, cleaner, agency, landlord, tenant, reviewer or testimonial, and there is no name on it but the headings you type for your own rows, which are gone when the tab closes.
