Helping decipher the calendar code is what I do with my clients.\u00a0 There is no perfect planner, but there is a planner that will make your life, your work and everything come together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A work at home mom and photographer who is also a very busy volunteer prefers google calendar<\/em>.\u00a0 She loves that it synchronizes with her phone so she only has one item to carry in her purse.\u00a0 It is also compact, so no bulky planner to carry.\u00a0 Her husband can enter dates and see all the family\u00a0activities.\u00a0 She adds dates consistently and loves that it is always updated.<\/p>\n

A working single woman uses ical<\/em> to track her work week.\u00a0 She uses the week at a glance feature and color codes her appointments, her testing dates, and her administrative time.\u00a0 The color coding reinforces what tasks she has to accomplish.\u00a0 She add recurring dates and uses this feature to keep her on top of routines.<\/p>\n

A part time working, part time stay at home mom with an additional small side business loves the planner pad<\/em>.\u00a0 This planner is only available online at www.plannerpads.com<\/a>.\u00a0 She loves the columns at the top of the week at a glance section\u00a0to add tasks in categories, loves the month at a glance page to get an overview of the upcoming events, and loves that it comes in a notebook format.\u00a0 She adds additional pages at the back to record information she uses regularly in her additional business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A busy entrepreneur loves his Outlook calendar<\/em>.\u00a0 He writes notes on index cards every day and enters into his calendar each evening.\u00a0 What is especially helpful is adding reminders 15 minutes before each action item and dates.\u00a0 He never misses an appointment or is late!<\/p>\n

A blended family with 6 kids come together weekly and fill in their month at a glanc calendar that hangs in their kitchen.\u00a0 Everyone talks about the weekly activities, while one of the kids fills in the dates on the calendar. Each family member knows that is going on that week.\u00a0 Kids and parents refer to the calendar throughout the week to keep on top of pick ups, drop offs, and tasks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Call me old fashioned, but for my work I love the paper planner with week at a glance<\/em>.\u00a0 It really works for me as a visual tool, easy to access and great for planning.\u00a0 I work with a week at a glance, have a weekly planning time to update and review what is coming up, and add items all the time. It is my most important tool for my business and my life balance.\u00a0 I carry it like it is my “blankie” and never let it out of my sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Think about your strengths, your needs and your work flow to make an effective choice!\u00a0 What calendar system works for you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
