I've succumbed to the chore charts, and daily charts.  I, of course, used some of the free pieces and examples from bloggers:Susan Fitch, iHeart Organizing, Operation Organization by Heidi to assemble them in Adobe Illustrator for what would work best for us.
For the daily charts, I just have a visual to do list for school mornings and bedtimes.  We've ended up keeping this in the bathroom, since that's where my daughter needed it the most.
For her chore chart we have it set up by weeks for the month(-ish).  Basically she has the chores she probably needs to do everyday (like homework, and piano practice).  The rest of the days of the week have one or two chores for her to do on those days. She gets a sticker in the correlating box below for any completed.  I've added a months worth of rows beneath to keep track of.
I've actually been going by it as well for my bigger "mommy" chores.  They aren't too specific.  Her dusting chore can include wiping doors down with cleaning wipes.

Here is the AM/PM daily chart:


Here is the Weekly job chart:


Feel free to save for yourself.  I print them out on 8 1/2"x 11" paper.  I printed the AM/PM chart on glossy photo paper, since we're just using it for reference.  I use colored card stock for the weekly chore chart.  Eventually I might put them up in pretty (cheap) frames, but for now they're just taped to the wall.
