Step 1 was to develop a schedule. Let's look at some resources you can use to help. I am a google calendar girl. I use Google calendar on my phone. I have a Google operating system so it was automatically installed so it couldn't of been easier. I use an app on my IPAD called Calenders by Readdle that allows me to connect to google calendars. I use the free version but for $1.99 you can get lots of organizing features. It allows you to look at your calendar in a day, week or month format.
If you like a paper schedule there are lots of places on the Internet to download these. Even if you are not a blogger, many of the bloggers have great paper schedules that are free. Check out this website for free downloadable calendars. http://www.productiveflourishing.com/free-planners/
Here are some samples
One last scheduling tool I have used is PlanBook. This is a digital subscription tool designed for teachers lesson planning. I have used it to design weekly parent/teacher communication letters. It may be helpful especially when you move to step 2 of routines in next week's blog post.
