After work, I just do things as they need to be done and ask the kids to help. I found having a chore system worked well for us when they were younger, but not so much now that most are older. I just ask them to help and they do.
My husband also pitches in a lot. He does pretty much all the cooking and dishes, so that's a huge help for me too.

With so many schedules to accommodate we have a similar system. Three people working, team sports, etc. We are working on having an "agile" system. I'll come back when we've figured something out.
I also highly recommend the book "Fair Play" by Eve Rodsky. It's not about a cleaning system but about recognizing and distributing mental load.
