The Notebook Part II


I am writing the broken down steps to my larger goals spread out over time on daily overview sheet. The best daily sheet I found was from The Household Planner. It has spaces for dinner, financial tasks, household tasks, emails, phone calls, priorities, etc. (I keep a master form folder in the front of the crate by my desk in case I can’t print my electronic versions.) I keep 7 of these forms in weekly files premade for the whole year. These weekly folders are divided into 6 hanging files kept in this crate. In each of the weekly folders, I also put any invitations, reminders, estimates, etc. needed for upcoming events. I am also placing my bills that are due in the corresponding folders as well. The daily overviews are updated nightly as well as when needed. Each day I just grab from the weekly folder that day’s overview and place it in my household binder. Now I am off and running!

I know this seems like a complicated system already, but I need physical reminders. Without them, I fall back into my old habits of procrastination. I like having checklists to physically mark off.
