How planning ahead could save your week

I have an absolute crazy life, I wear more hats then I care to admit to. Every Sunday night I sit down and plan my week ahead.

This may seem outdated to actually sit down and plan out the week ahead, when most of us keep our planners and reminders on our phones, I found that by sitting down and getting it all out once I could relax even more.

Here are my steps to planning out the week:

I usually start by gathering all my papers e.g. Bills and School notes.
I sit down with my papers and my planners/ Calendars
The first one I mark is the Wall month to month calendar, I go through each paper and mark down all the important dates that the whole family needs to be aware of such as excursions or special sport days.
I use my daily planner to mark when all my bills are due and when my next reading dates are (this keeps me aware of when I should receive a bill). I also mark down important school information and if I will need leave.
Next I like to plan 7 Dinners and 7 lunch meals. I don't put them in any particular order because I like the chance to change my mind and frankly I never know what I am hungry for one day to the next.

When I plan out my week ahead I feel life I can let it all go and that I will remember things when they need to be remembered.
