How To Create Routines

Routines are sets of tasks that occur around the same time of day, which repeat on a daily basis and can be set for morning, afternoon, and evening. Routines are different from chores in that chores are less constant and do not need to happen at a particular time of the day. You can create Routines on both the device and Skylight mobile app.

Getting Started

To create a Routine, tap the + icon on the bottom right corner to bring up the "Add Task" sidebar. Here, you can create both Chores and Routines. 

Emoji: This function is especially popular with customers who have children who cannot yet read, but an also be used as a fun way to spice up your daily routines. 

Profiles: Like Chores, this determines who the Routine will be assigned to. 

🔁 Every: This will allow you to repeat the Routine on a weekly or daily basis. 

📅 On: Here, you can choose the day or days this Routine will repeat. 

In the: Finally, choose whether the Routine repeats in the Morning, Afternoon or Evening. 

⭐Rewards: Additionally, like Chores, you can also assign Rewards to Routines! (Note, you'll need to assign the stars for the Routines on the Skylight App.) Learn more about Rewards here. 

Tracking Progress, Filtering and Rewards

Like Chores, each Routine has a progress bar indicating how many have been completed. These appear as icons at the top of each column. 

If you tap the Morning, Afternoon, Evening or Chores icons, you can show/hide those particular tasks at any time.
