For me I used the CM planner for 2 years and loved it. Thought this year I would try doing it myself to save money. I would say it did not save me money OR time. I hate what I am using but I made a commitment to it and will finish the school year on it. Next year though I am so back to the planner here. I miss it and the simplicity of it so much. I use it only for school.
I keep our personal life, church, activities etc on just a monthly desk calendar. My dh doesn’t need to look through all the school stuff to see what he needs to see. So this works for us.
As far as chores – I just have a one sheet list with what everyone does on each day. We hang it on the fridge. This is simple and easy and doesn’t add to the paper printing daily.
I wish I had one of those handy dandy phones or even high speed internet cause I would use Google calendar for our home stuff otherwise. It’s free, you can look at it from a month view, day, week, etc. You can color code things and I don’t know the ins and outs of it but you can see other calendars also. So you could look into that all you have to do is sign up for a gmail account (also free). It’s simple and nice. My computer man told me about it and his family uses it.
Just thought I’d share. Calendars are so hard, cause we all want different things and life is so varied from home to home. Good luck Misty
