I agree, I’d be really interested too. I current use a weekly family planner that has appointments on one side and a dashboard of tasks on the other. Then work is a notebook but my weekly planning ends up being random lists, it needs a system!

My Target-bought At-A-Glance calendar does something similar. I too separate my tasks and goals by personal (self care) and professional (most of it is on my online office calendar, but important reminders go here :).

I will say I separate family to-dos from home to-dos (the first is more emotional and nurturing and the latter more chore-like) and I color code, so I can check how I’m spreading my time visually. Kind of looks like this:

Happy belated waffle day! We use this calendar for impromptu celebrations:

@Maggie – I’m pretty sure it’s not widely celebrated. But these days I look for all available occasions for bits of fun!

I would be really interested to see a close up with more details, too! This is really helpful and makes planning seem less intense than I fear it might be. Thank you.

I’m with you there Alyce. I’m a real estate transactional lawyer in England as well as a manager and have multiple files at different stages with multiple things that need doing. The idea of a to do list with three items on it always makes me laugh. Unless it is 1. Deal with all emails received from clients and other lawyers. 2. Progress all files needing to complete this month. 3 respond to and deal with all management issues that arise during the day that I can’t delegate. Which is about as much use as a chocolate teapot! Good luck with your challenge.

Dear Cb,
I am curious – what do you use as monthly planner? Word document?

I agree, I’d be interested in hearing/seeing more about this.
Also, I love that it is International Waffle Day. I thought that was only a thing in Sweden! (In Sweden, Annunciation was mispronounced to the extent that it became “Waffle”. Sweden has several “candy holidays”, haha.)
