Work-from-home planning hacks
Mission control
When you’re living, working, parenting, AND teaching all in one place(!), it helps to have a centralized area to keep track of everyone’s schedule. For example, use an erasable wall calendar in the kitchen to keep tabs on when the kids have key video sessions for school and you/your spouse have conference calls.
Mixing business and personal
The line between office and home has become quite blurry these days, and it’s OK for your planner to reflect that change. You can use your planner more holistically to track your professional and personal goals and tasks. Many people even incorporate their mental health and well-being efforts into their planner.
Go with the flow
Change is part of life, but right now we all have to f-l-e-x a lot more than we’re used to—sometimes on an hourly basis. Give yourself the space and grace when plans have to shift or change. Pencil upcoming activities into your paper planner, or use an erasable calendar to allow for changes on the fly.
