Birthdays and anniversaries
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keep the master list of birthdays and anniversaries | once a month | 15 | barely notice it | never leaves your head | fits anywhere | 0.06 | 1.21 |
| why Vigilance 5. This is the substrate the whole category runs on and it is almost never named as a task by the person who does not hold it. | |||||||
| Remember extended-family birthdays and get a card or present there in time | most months | 35 | a little | on your mind | mostly flexible | 0.13 | 0.84 |
| why ANCHOR — the kin-keeping reference point. F5.4: social relationships +134%, and di Leonardo (1987) established kin work as a distinct category of labour. Low energy, real carry, and invisible unless it is missed — which is the entire shape of the load this product exists to show. | |||||||
| Organize a milestone birthday for a family member | twice a year | 240 | takes something | on your mind | needs a slot | 0.19 | 0.74 |
| Remember and mark anniversaries inside the household | every three months | 60 | a little | on your mind | mostly flexible | 0.09 | 0.77 |
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.
