Someone gave me a weekly planner this year, and I'm mostly adjusted to using it now. :) Anyway, I thought I'd share how I use it without getting carried away with planning the future (which has its problems).
Thankfully it's a weekly one, and not a daily-in-half-hour-segments one. It takes too long planning like that and I don't know exactly what's going to change or happen every half hour, since I'm not God, you know! 😉
On the section under the picture, I've been putting Scripture verses I find encouraging!
It's already helping me feel organized and put together! I can see this becoming really foundational for my schedule! Plus then if someone asks if I'm available at such and such a time, I can reference the planner and have a clear answer --- rather than being like "Um, well, I should do school and such and such this afternoon, but I don't know how long that will take, so let's see, should I come at 3? If I'm not free at 3 then I'll let you know." It gets chaotic that way, and you're not as reliable.
Have you ever used a planner?
I did love my planner when I had busy days, that way I could tell whether or not it was a crockpot meal sort of day . And yeah you don't really need a half hour sort unless you're rushing between appointments.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Except I don't need to plan meals quite yet, but I can definitely see that being another helpful use. :)
