Remember when you were little and your bed was made each day and your clothes magically washed and folded themselves? Yeah, that doesn’t happen anymore. But with a little help from your Apple products, it’ll feel like your mom’s living with you all over again (with 100 percent less nagging).
Your mom might not agree, but keeping the house clean isn’t so difficult. It’s a matter of simplifying the burden into manageable chores, so you’ll need a tool to divide and conquer. For full synchronization among your family’s Macs and iPhones, grab complementary copies of SpeedTask ($4.99 each, speedtaskapp.com) to keep track of what needs to be done by whom with its sleek, bulletin board–style interface. And with its own cloud keeping everyone on the same page, you can let little Billy know that the vacuuming job he did is most certainly not worthy of a green checkmark.
Just because it’s called SpeedTask doesn’t mean things get done quickly.
Then again, nobody does it quite like we remember (well, nobody in our families, anyway), so, if Billy can’t quite get it right, there’s no shame in letting your fingers do the walking over to yellowbook.com to get some professional help. Just don’t tell Mom.

It's a great idea, but at $5/ea. for the Mac, and iPhone apps. Between my 2 boys and I that'll cost me $20! (1 Mac and 3 iPhone) Let me know when it goes on sale. {:)
