When schedules and events are written down, you can be more realistic in planning your day. While paper and pencil are essential instruments in scheduling, it is the eraser that keeps things flexible. This daily planner is divided into the following seven sections:
This is for jotting down upcoming events, or making note of a special happening.
If you wish to remember the one-
Make an entry of all the upcoming events such as church meetings, weddings, school activities, appointments, reunions, holidays, etc. on the monthly calendar. This can help you see at a glance what will be happening over the next several months. This becomes helpful for weekly scheduling.
Under the heading ‘Tasks for this week’ are spaces to jot down things that need to be done such as phone calls, appointments, balancing the checkbook, etc. It’s beneficial to take time to sketch out the weekly tasks in advance. If you need to schedule a dentist appointment, write it down. If laundry is the biggest event on Monday, write it down. Look for short slots of time to do small projects. It only takes a few minutes to schedule a dentist appointment or to send a card. If it is written down on Monday’s list, you will be more apt to grab those precious few minutes when the opportunity arises. If you need to take a suit to the dry cleaners, jot it down.That way you likely won’t forget it if you need to go to town.
Plan the basic menu for the main meal each day. This can be done before the week arrives or it can be decided on a daily basis. Create a system that works well for you and your family. Deciding on the type of meal for each day will lessen the choices. Example: casserole on Monday, soup on Tuesday, meat and potatoes on Wednesday… When Monday comes, just decide what type of casserole to make.
To make the current weekly layout easy to find, clip the top corner of the page on the dotted line. Write with a pencil so you can erase and rearrange as you juggle daily tasks with the unpredicted issues that present themselves. Written tasks are to serve as a guide so you can plan what is reasonable and comfortable. Freely modifying your schedule is not a sign of weakness, rather it is a mark of strength. This approach will help you make wise choices that are best for you, your husband, and your children.
The pages in this section are untitled. This gives you the freedom to create monthly,

The projects and events section are for occasions that need more space for writing. If you are planning a baby shower or a family gathering you will be able to keep that information in your planner and have it handy for a quick reference. Again these are untitled for flexibility.
The information section is for phone numbers and addresses needed temporarily. If you are ordering a recipe book, jot the number down so if it requires more then one phone call, it will save you the time of looking up the phone number again. This is a good place to write addresses for a card shower or the information for the eye specialist.
The shopping lists may be used as comprehensive shopping lists or as a central location to write the items you need for upcoming events, projects or menus. A running shopping list enables you to make the best of a trip to town, whether it is planned or unexpected. The lists are perforated for your convenience.
