Planning Block Style

I thought I would share how I am using my block planner.   I have to do hour by hour for work, but for me personally I am a more fluid person.  This planner is from In the Leafy Tree Tops, and I am in no way associated with them.  Just a happy customer.  The format they use helps me in my attempt to juggle a lot of balls at once.

Master Schedule -- Weekend

The weekend's vary some.  This is my basic schedule, but if I know we are doing other things I just work these into the week.  Laundry is also something I do as I go, but on weekends I have my husband's home so I do it on Saturday's to make sure he is covered for the upcoming week.

Master Cleaning Schedule -- Daily and Monday

Although I shared that I was combining a household binder with a bullet journal, I didn't really share what my 2017 plan is.  It is really a combination of things pulled together and tweaked to what works for me.  In a nut shell, I've updated my Master Cleaning Schedule, created a new kitchen cleaning spreadsheet, streamlined all my record keeping to one notebook, created a weekly calendar and menu combination page, etc.

I was hoping this will translate over well enough for y'all to see it.  I actually have it saved on a spreadsheet, but I can't figure out how to embed it into this.  So instead I am going to break this down into days and share one each day this week for the master cleaning.    In my actual book, I have the entire Master Cleaning Schedule on one sheet (printed landscape) and I have the daily, weekly, and monthly Kitchen Schedule on a second sheet.  The Kitchen Schedule has grids where I can check them off and I only use one sheet for the entire month.  The master schedule I print double sided and use one for every week.

I find that having this ready frees me up to do the things that allow us to save money.  It also keeps me in the "frugal frame of mind" so to speak.  Next week I'll share a list of just some of the frugal things we have adopted and how we choose which things work for us.
