Chore charts that die in a week

The problem You make a gorgeous chore chart and nobody looks at it after day five.

The hack Skip the chart and use a "chore jar": jobs on popsicle sticks, one pulled per kid per day. It is random, so no arguing about fairness, and the jar sits on the counter where you can see it.
