P&F Chart

A well-placed family chore chart can eliminate ambiguity and arguments over who is supposed to do what, providing a clear, visual reference for everyone. A pictogram where a taller icon is also made wider is another; our brains perceive the change in area, not just height, thus exaggerating the difference. Is this idea really solving the core problem, or is it just a cool visual that I'm attached to? Is it feasible to build with the available time and resources?
