Schedules! UGH! I hate them. It’s a complicated thing but my life isn’t the same from day to day let alone week to week so schedules that don’t work out have always driven me bonkers so I hit delete. Well, my life has gotten even more complicated and crazy so back to the schedule board I go. I’m desperate. It needs to work. Knowing my downfall is when the schedule doesn’t go as planned I am working on a way to keep myself from the fatal blow it deals me.

Making of THE SCHEDULE
- Since our month changes from week to week I made 4 tabs in my Open Office Spreadsheet document – 1 for each week of the month.
- Each column is labeled
- Each row under A has a time frame
- I filled out everything that stays the same from week to week and then copied it into each page.
- I then went back through and scheduled by level of importance (i.e. I scheduled a good night’s sleep, then scheduled homeschooling the kids, and worked the rest of my day around that.)
- I scheduled every 15 minute increment of the day – for the sleep parts of the day I did 30 minute increments
- I enlarged each column so when I print it out there are no “hidden” or run-on words.
- Uploaded it to Google Drive so I can access it no matter where I am
- Printing each page for home use
- Laminating it so when schedule changes happen I can use a dry erase marker over the place that needs to change for that time frame. This will help ease my stress about the schedule changes.

Thank You so much! I thought I was going to have to put all that info in myself. I was having a hard time finding a template with 15 minute increments in a format my computer understands.
I’m glad I could help.
