Tax
4 rows. A group is the level between a category and a task: one thing a person could hand over whole, split into the rows it actually takes. The app shows groups collapsed and lets you answer at either level.
| Task | How often | Minutes | Takes out of you | Sits in your mind | Breaks your day | The doing | The carrying |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prepare and file the annual tax return | once a year | 180 | takes something | never leaves your head | needs a slot | 0.07 | 1.02 |
| why ANCHOR — the worked case for the annual hard-deadline rule (MENTAL_LOAD_MODEL §9 Q2): vigilance 5, not 2-3, because the load lands in a fortnight rather than spreading across the year. Minutes from F5.5 (Dethier et al. 2024, N=617: median three hours for tax returns). | |||||||
| Collect the receipts, statements and certificates the tax return needs | twice a year | 90 | a little | on your mind | mostly flexible | 0.06 | 0.74 |
| Answer a query or correction from the tax office | twice a year | 75 | takes something | on your mind | breaks the day | 0.06 | 0.74 |
| Deal with property and local taxes and municipal charges | twice a year | 40 | barely notice it | on your mind | needs a slot | 0.03 | 0.74 |
Which households get these
A new household is seeded from its own answers, so most of these rows only appear where they apply.
- Collect the receipts, statements and certificates the tax return needs — around the tax deadline
- Deal with property and local taxes and municipal charges — owners
Something missing, or something weighted wrong?
This is the part of Champignon that is genuinely unfinished, and the part a person outside this household can fix. Two routes, neither of which needs an account:
- Something we don't have — a task you do that isn't listed here.
- A weight that looks wrong — tell us which row, and what it should sit above or below. A comparison is actionable; feels wrong on its own isn't.
What happens next, and how a weight actually changes, is on Contribute.
