The more ‘work heavy’ rooms I broke down into segments, thinking stamps could be given for each task (especially if filler is needed for the cards). Others, I didn’t break down for whatever reason, but I can if you need/want me to.
Some of these tasks won’t take a full half-hour – like emptying all the wastebaskets, but some will take more than an hour – like vacuuming blinds.
I say let people pick & choose, I’m not overly concerned with anyone loading her card with light stuff just to win. (After writing this out, all of it seems like a pain in the backside. Yes, I’m inherently lazy and now I really REALLY want an elf. Don’t judge. ~Miss T)
Everyone gets one square (if they so choose) to include some other task not listed that takes between 30 minutes and an hour
