If you’re struggling to keep everything on the right track, you can regain control of your life by deciding what you need to do each day. By creating a schedule to follow, you can ensure your time is well spent doing things that give you a sense of satisfaction and wellbeing. Taking this proactive approach will bring balance to your life and the motivation you need to reclaim your valuable time.

Create your schedule at the start of every week. This is a great activity to do as a family on a Sunday afternoon, as you can all gain an understanding of what’s on during the week ahead. By identifying key tasks and prioritising what needs to be done will give you all, as a family, much needed clarity. You will find that the week runs far more smoothly and everyone will know what is expected of them and can feel responsible for their own priorities. Remember to be realistic about what can be achieved each day. Avoid filling up this time with less important tasks whenever possible. Producing a visual schedule will enable you to spot areas where you can enjoy some free time so you can concentrate on your personal goals.

Step 1
As a family, determine what must be done during the week ahead. List each task or event and allocate a deadline for each.

Step 2
Using your list, prioritise the tasks from an urgency and consequence perspective.

Step 3
Using a calendar or planner, schedule the week ahead in order of priority. If possible, identify the free moments you can commit to self-care or personal development. Don’t overload your week so your time remains flexible you can respond to the unexpected!

Step 4
For a sense of accomplishment, check in each evening and tick off the tasks you have completed. Look ahead at the next day’s activities so you can hit the ground running in the morning.

Incorporating this time management tool into your weekly routine will enable you to enjoy a calm, organised week. You will be surprised by how much you will achieve and soon wonder how you managed without it!
