Tool for tracking family tasks
Hi all, could you please share what tool you use to keep track of your family tasks? John and I currently have a bunch of separate lists and a family calendar (in addition to work calendars). We need a joint list, ideally something that could integrate with our google family calendar. I don't use anything like this at work so really don’t have anywhere familiar to start. Thanks for any suggestions.

Boring Meeting
Hi everyone! Just sharing in case it is helpful that we decided to have two Boring Meetings a week - one on Monday and one on Friday. We discuss logistics and tough topics, and I think we need a meeting at the beginning of the school/work week and one going into the weekend to cover logistics. Right now we use our shared family Google calendar as the framework for logistical discussions but none of the invisible labor is in the Google calendar (although I did recently add Google appointments on each Sunday for (1) Pay nanny (which takes about 30 mins each week given that her hours vary and we reimburse her for miles and things like ice cream, (2) make calendar for week (which takes about an hour to do each week) and (3) work on insurance reimbursements (which takes about an hour each week) - UGH). I put these in the calendar to bring visibility to these invisible tasks that I do AND to remind myself to do them because I am drowning. I would like to try the app that Zach uses. I'm sharing this as a "win/breakthrough" because John used our meeting Friday to discuss a tough topic that was on his mind. I was unprepared for it because it is not typical for John to bring up tough topics, and I was defensive which I regret. It's a huge win that he brought a weighty topic to the table. I have work to do on hearing him. Thanks for reading. Have a great weekend.
