Something keeps happening to the PDF when I load it.

I think it's too big, so I'm going to break it down into

smaller parts.  I'm going to try to do a video

so that I can show you how to put the book together

and how to use it once it's done.

Thank You all again for being so amazingly patient.

You're AWESOME!

Wowie Wow Wow Wow

That's a lot of Organizing!

I LOVE IT!!!

Now To Explain How It Works:

This is where I wish I could have you all just come

on over to my house with your Day Keeper and I would

show you exactly how it works.  It's so much easier to

explain in person . . . but I'll do my best.

You can always ask me questions if it doesn't make sense.

It's alot easier to do than it is to explain . . .

I PROMISE!

We'll start with the . . .

Reminders

This section is checked EVERYDAY.

This section includes: 

Important Names and Numbers - 2 pages

Authorization for Treatment of a Minor

Babsitter Information

The pages above are in the front of the book behind the

Reminders Tab.  If you have to leave your children at home

alone or with a babysitter, they will have the

Emergency Information right there!

This section also includes:

Our Family Mission Statement

Our Family Goals

"Here's What We Did This Month" Journal Pages

A place for Birthday Cards

as well as Birthday and Anniversary Reminders.

Wants, Needs and Sizes pages for each of the members

of your family

Visiting Teaching Information

The Visiting Teaching Message for the month

Home Teaching Information

and the Home Teaching Message for the month.

2010 Holidays and School Vacations

Holiday Traditions and Ideas for the Month

My Weekly, Monthly . . . etc. Overview Pages

which will help you to remember to schedule

Dental Check-Ups, Yearly Physicals . . . etc.

and last but not least

a Calendar!

The Calendar PDF was included in the first set of

Day Keeper Pages.

Routines

This section is checked EVERYDAY as well.

This section includes:

Your Daily Quick Clean Schedule

A Daily Quick Clean is:

A 5 minute pick-up in each room . . . EVERYDAY!

Use a timer and let your kids be the runners in charge

of returning misplaced items to their place.

Don't leave that room until the timer goes off!

You have a place to list your Daily Routines for

Morning and Evening.

Routines are like house cleaning Auto Pilot!

It may take a little time to find your best routine,

but stick with it . . . a good routine will make all the difference.

I also included my Kids Routines.

The "This Week's BEST Worker Award" Page

This is awarded weekly along with a

No Chores for the Day card!

The next part is My Kids Jobs.

I use two baseball card page protectors.

My house is broken up into zones.

Each of the kids is assigned a zone with is rotated weekly.

Each baseball card page protector has 9 pockets.

3 rows or 3.

Each child has one row.

The first pocket is for their Picture,

The second pocket is for their Jobs, and the

Third pocket holds their Allowance Receipt.

The Extra Money Job List comes next.

After the kids finish their regular jobs

(which they do for FREE)

they have a chance to do jobs for money.

Now if they need money . . . they just check the list!

This is followed by my Running Project List.

This list helps me to GET THINGS DONE!

I list all of my projects and add them to my

Days of the Week Spread Sheets.

I also have a list of Items on Loan.

Followed by,

Garden Zones and

Lawn and Garden Reminders.

To finish this section, I added a place

for Our Family Mission Statement and

Fun FaMiLy Photos!

Because My Daily Focus for Monday is

My Family, the photo page is what is on the other

side of my Monday Tab.

This is a Daily Spread Sheet.

You have one for each day of the week.

This is my plan for Monday:

These are the Items I have listed for Monday:

So, the only pages that go in this section are

the ones that are on the list!

Starting with My Breakfast Repeat,

Breakfast Repeat Options,

Main Dish Menu Options,

Side Dish Menu Options,

Bag Meal Cards,

and Mix Meal Cards.

I put the cards into baseball card page protectors.

I'm just giving you a sample page . . . the rest will come

I also included a calendar page in this section so that

I could keep track of what we ate during the month.

The Weekly Menu Planner comes next

followed by the Weekly Shopping List.

I also included a Monthly Emergency Preparedness

Planning and Purchase Sheet,

A Rotating FHE Planner with Family Pictures,

Our Family Home Evening Journal and

Photo Page.

. . . Right Side . . .

I added two Post-It Notes to the right side under

To Do Lists.

This is where you write the EXTRAS.

The things that aren't on your regular schedule.

Like kid's birthday parties, dance recitals . . . etc.

The Second Post-It is for Phone calls that need to be made,

or Phone Messages that need to be passed on

to other family members.

The Day's Menu is written with a wet-erase marker,

as well as my Daily Focus Plans and my

Project for the Day.

 That's it for my Monday!

REMEMBER,

YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE EVERY PAGE.

JUST USE THE ONE'S THAT APPLY TO

YOUR FAMILY!

All of the pages have been included to give you

as many options as possible!

Each Day's Spread Sheet tells me what should be

included in that section.

I've included my Day's of the Week Pages,

but I won't bore you with the details.

You can click on them if you want to see the details.

Let me know if you want me to post each of the other

Daily Spread Sheets  like I did for Monday.

I'm happy to do it if it will help!

 

Each night before bed, I pull out my Day Keeper.

I hit the purple sections first and then I fill out

my Daily Spread Sheet.

It only takes about 10 minutes!

I hope that helps you to know how the Day Keeper works.

I only focus on ONE DAY OF THE WEEK at a time.

It's like eating the whole "HOMEMAKER ELEPHANT"

when we try to do everything everyday.

Just do the things you have on that day . . . and save the rest

for the other days of the week.

I'm sure you will have questions, and I'm sure I've

forgotten to explain something,

But this post already goes on for Eternity

so I'll just wait to hear from YOU!

Happy Organizing!
