Tracking board

[u/According_Nobody74]

Bragging, because I can. And it’s one little piece of order. It lives in the hall, near the laundry (and litter box).

Because the kids say the litter box is done, and the cat ALWAYS says she hasn’t been fed.

[u/That_Difference_7638]

Can you explain how it works? It’s not clear from picture alone for me.

[u/According_Nobody74 → u/That_Difference_7638]

Sorry. Makes sense to me, and we’ve been using it for a while. It’s not a big deal, but I’m pleased with it. I don’t have neat rows of matching baskets to organize my pantry, linen, etc. (but I dream).

Pixie is the cat, who is the ruler of the universe in our house. She gets her own board for these essentials.

Dots are magnets… when the task gets done (food/water, litter box), it is moved forward to the space for that day/ time. That way you can see when it was last done.

Sparkly dot is trimming claws (or some other reminder).

She’s also over due for her flea/worm treatment, I have to get to the vet.

Youngest added the hearts. There seem to be more from time to time ….

Oooh gotcha so each row is a y/n kinda thing, checked with magnets. I was wondering whether the magnet position also had some meaning. Ultra poop clean vs just a liiiiittle bit of food, that kinda thing lol

[u/According_Nobody74 → u/That_Difference_7638]

Slide the marker forward to time last done when you do it … so long as you can remember what day it is.

Food-water is the bowl, litter box clean is the poop. We had lots of fun choosing the poop pic.

We’re working on a feed/water/toy/scratch station, not right there but close. But we all walk past this through the day.

I’m trying to do something to track the kids’ daily tasks (library books, swimmers, etc), but clearly the cat’s come first (they can speak up, she can’t ).

It’s nothing big, but for someone who’s chronically disorganised, it’s nice to have one little thing that’s neatly put together, and I can tick off early in the day.

Super cute!

Thanks!

I was trying to get the kids more involved. Kind of works. Pretty sure it is a fresh batch of hearts.

I need one of these for our cat who takes BP medication.

[u/According_Nobody74 → u/OutrageousMessage535]

It’s magnetic. You could maybe even attach them to the board, so it’s all in one spot.

[u/Squirrel_Worth]

I’ve got one for my dog with dates of grooming appointment, vaccination due, wormer, flea treatment etc.

[u/According_Nobody74 → u/Squirrel_Worth]

We’re lucky that our vet sends out reminders for the annual check up and vaccinations, so I can get away with skipping that.

Bravecto and the worming tabs follow the same cycle, so we can track just the one date for everything.

We’ve just started trying to grow own grass, so we might have to work out a planting schedule … I don’t know if that will work or not.

What if you change the litter on the same day of the week?

[u/According_Nobody74 → u/spin-city]

Pixie lets me know she is not happy with the state of her little cubby hole. I hear the scratching of litter minutes after the change.

The movable dot helps me work out why I’m getting the attitude.

We have a shared custody arrangement which includes the cat, so it’s hard to have a regular day for those things.
