Organize Me: Day Planner



I lead a busy life.   Work. (Full Time Outside the Home) Wife. (To a Hubby that owns his own business & I help him out) Mama. (to 3 kiddos)  Church. (& Small Group) Volunteer Work.  Plus, trying to squeeze in some creative time.  It's doesn't leave much time.  And, it demands that I stay organized.  I do utilize my Outlook calendar on my computer & phone.  But, I needed more.  And, regular day planners didn't do it for me.  So, I created one in Publisher...nothing fancy.  But, perfect for my needs.  

Daily:

To Do:  Work Items
What's Cookin:  menu planner
Hearth & Home:  projects for our house & a cleaning schedule
She's Crafty:  Art & Crafts that I'm working on or need to ship
Hello Neighbor: My blog posts
It's A Date:  Meetings/Appointments/Errands
This & That:  items to add to my grocery/target/hobby lobby list

I also utilize a Master List:




The Master List I use with ALL the projects swirling around in my brain.  I pick one or two & put them on my Daily Planner as time permits.  I also have one for work as well.

I am constantly asked how I do all that I do.  And, my Day Planner is most definitely a key part.  As a "creative" person, this doesn't come naturally to me.  So, in order to get everything accomplished & to insure nothing slides in between the cracks....my Daily Planner is a LIFE SAVER!
