Staying Organized…the Key to Sanity

Sometimes being a WAHM can be really crazy with trying to keep up with your work schedule, kids’ school schedules and extra-curricular activities. One way that I have found that helps keep me sane with scheduling is maintaining two calendars.

I have an organizer that has a page for each day of the week. It’s in a zippered leather binder and I love it. I have all my contact phone numbers in there and I use that to track my daily tasks and time spent on each project. I only put my work-related tasks and goals on the pages of that calendar.

The other calendar I have is a wire bound monthly planner. It is about 9×13 and has a month spread across two pages. It’s just a monthly calendar. I use that to track other daily events. School holidays, sporting events, birthdays, conferences, etc. Having 4 kids in 3 different schools, I assign each child a color of ink and their events get calendared with thier own color. It saves space and really helps with keeping me on track and I am far less likely to miss events if I can look at the month in a glance.
