@Kristen – the dentist visits went well, thanks! Yep, planning ahead does free up a fair amount of brain space. I enjoy knowing (mostly) what I plan to be doing…

It takes some time and mental gymnastics to accomplish that planning, but the brain space it frees up is worth it. Your suggestion of doing this before travel and breaks is great, but I like to do it even when I’ll be home but the schedule will be a little different. For example, I know I’ll want to do a little cleaning after guests go home after Easter, so I sat down and planned out the week and moved some things around.

Awhile ago I sat down and created a list of weekly tasks that need to happen during a typical week. I assigned them each to a day. During a typical week, I may move a few things around and during a holiday or travel week there may be a lot of movement, but knowing I won’t forget anything as I review the list provides a lot of peace of mind!

Hope all the dentist visits go well!
