The Action Planner – Pages I like

I’m working on a full tour of what I’m trying but wanted to pass along this awesome resource.

Productive Flourishing puts together some amazing FREE resources as well as their Premium Planners!

I am using the weekly planners to decide on my priorities for the week.

The items listed aren’t tasks but projects.  Basically everything with more than 2 or 3 tasks needs to be a project. So “Print Perm Slip” which is Manda-writin’ for “Print Permission Slip” is a whole project that involved multiple steps (Create the slip, print them, sign them, distribute them, etc).

This form also makes you think about how much you can actually get done in a day.  Near the top is a little section labeled “Weekly Project Slots”.  Basically each day gets 5 slots and you mark them off as you create and schedule projects.  When the day is full, you can’t schedule anything else on that day or you’ll get overwhelmed, won't finish, etc.

I’ll be sharing more of what I’m trying.  So be sure to check back!

My Perfect Planner

I’ve talked about my Household Notebook before.  It was a lofty goal and one fraught with perfectionism.  What I have discovered is that ONE book can’t do all I need it to do. WHAT? So here’s what I need my household notebook to do: Homeschool Planner I need to be able to look at a glance and see what our schooling plans are.  Additionally, this needs to be a running record of what we have done for documentation purposes. Paper is...
