The more organised you are, the easier everything becomes. One of the easiest ways to get organised is to use a weekly planner. A weekly planner can help you plan your week ahead and also see what you have already planned for each day – it helps to prevent double booking yourself or forgetting about something!
What to plan
You can also use it as a diary for recording birthdays, anniversaries, important dates etc. It is a brilliant way to get organised if you are the type of person who has their head in lots of different places. A weekly planner can help you plan for each day, or may be more suitable for planning your whole week’s activities (or both).
Benefits
The benefit of using a weekly planner is that all of your weekly tasks and appointments can be written down for a point of reference for all. This means your children know exactly what is expected of them each day and can help out around the house.
It is really easy to get organised with a weekly planner, all that needs to be done is finding the best one for you. There are many different types of planners available on the market today so it may take some time before you find the one that suits your plans and home decor or style.
Stick to your plan
Plan which days are for what and stick with it, be organised before the week begins rather than trying to do everything in one night when the children fall asleep. This will give you more time for yourself or doing what needs to be done each day.
Being organised can benefit not only you, but your friends and family too. Once you get into the rhythm of weekly planning, everyone will benefit.
Remember to use your weekly planner to record appointments and when you’re going on a trip. This will help if family members need to get in touch with you, they will know where you are and what time you should be home too.
What can be planned
This planner can also be used to write down things that need doing around the home or garden. For example, if you need to mow the lawn and wash the windows, write it down so you won’t forget. As well as weekly planning organised people also:
- plan ahead for trips and holidays
- schedule meetings and appointments
- review their goals and priorities
- use a calendar to record events
- manage shopping lists and groceries
- meal planning
- student/exams planning
Good Habits
Finally, setting a good habit is key to succeeding in your organisation goals. If you take the time and effort and schedule and plan and organise your life, you will achieve greatness. You can start this organised way of life by getting organised with a weekly planner.
Summary
Now is the best time to start planning ahead so you can reinforce the habit and begin reaping the rewards. You will feel organised, you will be organised and life will be organised.
