Do You Know Where You Need To Be?

3/30/2020

We all have things that we need to do that make our world go round.  Everything from taking care of your family to what you do for work. How do you know what all you need to do?  How do you remember where you need to be? With all the things that swirl around in our heads AND our responsibility to take care of our families, it’s no wonder we can get emotionally exhausted!

I have used a calendar for a long time.  Raising a busy family of 8 has had its challenges.  I knew that there would be no way under the sun that I could remember all the things that needed to happen in our family.  So I’ve been using a paper calendar for years. This was the only way that I knew to make sure that we were at the right place at the right time.  If it wasn’t written down, it wasn’t going to happen!

When the digital calendar became popular, I added it to my tool box.  Adding the digital calendar (I use Google calendar) was extremely helpful because I was able to assign a color to each member of my family, and I could easily see who needed to be where.  And, the bonus was that on my digital calendar I added the notification reminders. The “ding” gave me ample time to regroup and move on to the next activity.  
​

As soon as something is scheduled, I add it to my digital calendar. If I’m at my desk, I use my computer; if I’m out, I add it to my phone.  This has eliminated the need to keep the reminder cards for a doctor’s appointment, for example, or papers with dates on them. I have less paper piles and know where I need to be.
I use my paper calendar to see my week as a whole.  This helps me see what pockets of time I have when I plan out my week using my Sunday Basket.   I’ll never remember everything in my head, and I doubt that you will either. There aren’t any prizes being given out even if I do. :)

The tools I use to manage my family and my business are:
  • Weekly planner
  • Google calendar
  • Cell phone (notifications!)
  • Sunday Basket
  • Notecards
If you are looking for a solution to planning your week as well as managing the paper piles that come into your house, I’m inviting you to join me for a Sunday Basket Workshop.  I have Virtual Workshops scheduled and would love to help you develop a solid weekly planning system and a way to manage all the paper that comes into your home.  

I would love to hear how I can help you.   Feel free to email, I’m happy to support you!

    I coach busy, tired, and overwhelmed women who struggle with "winning at work and losing at home".  We work together to transform your life from chaotic to calm.  De-cluttering your home, paper piles, and over-flowing schedule will you the confidence, time an energy to do what God created for you to do. 

    I am a Christian, wife, and mom to six :)  I've struggled with feelings of hopelessness, depression, and overwhelm. I know first-hand that life can be really hard.  I also know that when you have someone walking along side of you, changing things in your life is so much easier.  We all need someone to walk beside us.  Let's Do It Together!
