If there is more than one of you in your house, and that other one is in school, creating a calendar for all activities, upcoming and ongoing events and routines is crucial to stress, time management and sanity.

Everyone writes in their activities, and you write on the ones for children too small to do it themselves.

BENEFITS?

1. Get a positive flow and rhythm to your routines.

2. You’ll all get on the same page this way – all seeing the same picture and of all the puzzle pieces of your days and upcoming weeks and months.

3. You’ll be less likely to forget and miss events or be late for appointments.

4. You’ll also stop the too-easy-to-happen double and over booking of appointments, events and activities.

5. You might also notice that you have way too much going on and need a family meeting to discuss cutting back or out some things to keep some balance and time for family time, real meals and, well, sleep!
