I\u2019m able to scan documents and email them. Keep a running tab of my to-do list and groceries. I also have a notes page for gift ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"auto\">Color-coded calendar (each person has a color) including how they&#8217;re getting to\/from the practice or game, etc&#8230; and review that at least weekly but ideally every 3 days to ensure we&#8217;re all on the same page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"auto\">Personal: morning workouts before fam wakes up. Familial: shared family Google calendar. Marital: weekly marriage meeting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"auto\">Written and Google calendar for myself, dry-erase monthly for my daughter, and verbal communication with my husband<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"auto\">I meal plan every dinner and prep accordingly. I add all things to the phone calendar and \u201cinvite\u201d whomever in my family needs to know. The kids have a daily chore schedule and also lay out their clothes for the week on Sunday so I can steam them in time. During the summer, I started \u201cmarvelous Monday\u2019s\u201d where we do all the chores on a Monday so we can forget about it. I also stopped folding laundry. I made them each a basket in the laundry room where clothes are sorted coming straight out of the dryer. They are responsible for putting away their own clothes. I love it!!!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"auto\">Cozi Gold family organizer app. With 2 active teens, it really helps keep everyone informed and organized.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"auto\">I have a cleaning service so I don&#8217;t resent every mess as a personal slight. Kids have a very large calendar on the wall for all things as my ADD DH doesn&#8217;t look at online calendars, emails, or text messages. He didn&#8217;t look at the wall calendar either but it modeled good organization for the kids at least, lol. Also, tell DH plans over dinner and remind him in the morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"auto\">Use a digital family calendar, order the week\u2019s groceries for pickup on Mondays, and once a month have someone come in to clean!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Summary<\/h3>\n<p>I am grateful to those who shared their wisdom.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Having a <a href=\"https:\/\/professional-organizer.com\/WordPress\/family-calendar-for-family-communication\/\">calendar<\/a> that works for your family is important. Choose what you love, model this for your family, and collaborate with those who need extra support on this.<\/li>\n<li>Build your best <a href=\"https:\/\/professional-organizer.com\/WordPress\/family-teamwork\/\">team<\/a> with outside help and buy-in from your family. Set up systems in your home where kids can partner and everyone benefits. Make it fun!<\/li>\n<li>Set up r<a href=\"https:\/\/professional-organizer.com\/WordPress\/morning-routines-that-calm-the-family-chaos-adhd-family-mornings\/\">outine<\/a>s that reinforce and support your goals.
