A marker board for family plans
A wipe board is impossible to miss and easy to update by hand. It is also invisible from anywhere else, which matters the moment someone is out of the house.
What matters here
- Visible to everyone without a device
- Easy for children to read and add to
- No access from school, work or travel
- Erased by accident at least once
- No history, so changes are undetectable
Why it works in a household
A board is public by default. There is no privacy setting to configure and no app to install, which is why it works with children and visitors better than any calendar app.
The away-from-home gap
The gap is anyone who is not in the kitchen. A change made in the morning is invisible to the person at work, and that is exactly when plans usually change.
Board plus shared calendar
Photograph the board after any change and keep a shared calendar for anything with a time. The board is the at-a-glance view and the calendar is the portable record.
