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?

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:
