You’ve set up EvenUS in under 60 seconds — now the real magic begins.

Adding your daily chores, bills, and especially mental load tasks is the most important habit you and your partner will build with the app. The more accurately and consistently you log everything, the clearer and fairer your Live Household Balance and Fairness Score become.

This guide walks you through exactly how to add all three types of tasks with simple steps and real-life examples from couples just like you.

Why Adding Tasks Properly Makes Such a Big Difference

When both of you log contributions honestly, the app stops being “just another tool” and becomes your relationship’s gentle fairness coach. You move from guessing “who did more” to seeing the actual picture. Most couples notice their arguments drop dramatically within the first 10–14 days of consistent tracking.

Let’s go step by step.

1. How to Add Physical Chores (Super Simple & Satisfying)

Step-by-step:

1. Open EvenUS and tap the big green “+ Add Task” button at the bottom of the dashboard.
2. Select “Physical Chore”.
3. Choose from popular quick suggestions (Dishes, Laundry, Cooking, Grocery Shopping, Vacuuming, etc.) or type your own custom task.
4. (Optional but recommended) Add how long it took.
5. Tap “Save”.

Real Example from Priya & Arjun (Gurugram): Priya spent 25 minutes cooking dinner and cleaning the kitchen after work. She opens the app, taps “+”, selects “Cooking + Kitchen Cleanup”, adds 25 minutes, and saves. Instantly the Live Household Balance rises by 3% and Arjun sees the entry in the Activity Feed with a heart icon. He taps the heart to show appreciation.

2. How to Add Bills & Shared Expenses (Income-Aware Magic)

Step-by-step:

1. Tap “+ Add Task” → Choose “Bill or Expense”.
2. Enter the amount (e.g., ₹4,850 for electricity).
3. Select the category (Rent, Utilities, Groceries, Subscriptions, Maid, etc.).
4. Mark it as “Shared Expense”.
5. Tap “Save” — EvenUS automatically calculates and shows the fair income-aware split for both of you.

Real Example: Arjun pays the monthly rent of ₹52,000. He adds it as a shared expense. Since he earns 62% of the household income, the app shows:

• Arjun’s fair share: ₹32,240
• Priya’s fair share: ₹19,760

Both phones show the same clear split. No awkward “who pays what” conversation needed.

3. How to Add Mental Load Tasks (The Game-Changer)

This is the feature couples say changes everything.

Step-by-step:

1. Tap “+ Add Task” → Select “Mental Load”.
2. Choose from helpful suggestions or type exactly what you did:
   • Planned this week’s meals & made grocery list
   • Booked kids’ doctor appointment + followed up
   • Researched and compared summer holiday options
   • Remembered and bought birthday gift for family
   • Organized family weekend plan
3. Add the time spent (even 8–10 minutes counts!).
4. Tap “Save”.

Real Example: On Sunday evening, Priya spent 40 minutes planning all meals for the week, checking the fridge, making the shopping list, and adding items to the shared note. She logs “Weekly Meal Planning” for 40 minutes. The next morning Arjun opens the app, sees the entry, and finally understands why Priya sometimes feels mentally tired even when she “wasn’t doing visible chores.” He messages her: “Thank you for handling meal planning ❤️”.

A Typical Day Example (Priya & Arjun)

• Morning: Priya logs 12 mins mental load → “Packed kids’ lunches + remembered water bottles”
• Afternoon: Arjun logs “Paid electricity bill ₹4,200” (shared expense)
• Evening: Priya logs 20 mins physical chore → “Grocery shopping”
• Night: Arjun logs 15 mins mental load → “Researched new school bag options”

By bedtime their Household Balance has moved from 68% to 89%. They both feel seen and appreciated.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Log tasks as soon as you do them (or at the end of the day) — consistency beats perfection
• Use the app’s quick suggestions to save time
• Be honest with mental load entries — this is the area most couples under-log at first
• Celebrate entries by tapping the heart icon — it builds appreciation
• Review the weekly report together every Sunday

The more you add, the smarter and more helpful EvenUS becomes.
