Plan It Out Thursday: Making Lists
Normally I would post this at Midnight, but I have a pinched nerve and it is very difficult for me to sit at the computer. Well, better late than never.
Are you ready to Plan it Out? If you aren’t sure what this is all about, check out my explanation from last week. And when you decide to join, please add your name and link to your Plan It Out Thursday post to Mr. Linky below. If you add your link and DO NOT write a post about your plan, I will delete it because while I am all for link love, I can’t stand when people don’t follow directions!
Let’s talk about lists. I like to write things down and with the explosion of digital organizers, I find that I am always on the look out for ways to combine written lists with digital ones. When it comes to keeping organized, I love my PDA. I have a PalmPilot and it keeps my calendar, contacts, and to do’s all together and handy. However, I recently discovered a great new digital tool that I love. It is called SPRINGPAD, an online notebook great from organizing everything from recipes, to play-dates. I only wish that I could sync it with my PDA somehow.
I use SpringPad for everything. I have created several pads so that I can organize all areas of my life. Take a look below to see what I mean. And then head over to SpringPad’s Demo so that you can see it in action.
Do you make lists? What are your favorites list-makers to help you keep organize? Write your Plan It Out Thursday post and then add it to Mr. Linky below.
Plan It Out Thursday: Become An Efficient Mom
Along with the many other resolutions we make each New Year, getting organized probably comes right after, “lose weight”. I know that I have been trying to get organized (and lose weight for that matter) for years. Despite the fact that before becoming a Mom, I was very much an organizational force to be reckoned with, having a daughter has made me loony. And now that I am no longer working outside the home, the days just blend together. If not for the Thursday marathons of my favorite show Snapped, I would never know what day of the week it was.
Enter “Plan it Out Thursday”.
Beginning next week, I will be focusing on ways that we can become Efficient Moms. I will be interviewing some of the leading Professional Organizers in the blogosphere, offering free products, and even giving you the chance to get answers to some of your orgranizational mysteries.
Why Thursdays?
When I was teaching I found that the best day to plan for the upcoming week was Thursday. Fridays were often a review day for me, so I knew by Thursday what worked or didn’t work. I was able to figure out what I needed to do the upcoming week and so it was the perfect day for me to plan.
