Help! 🙂 I have been trying to set up for this semester, and have only been using this for about an hour, so please bear with me! I would like to schedule my son’s assignments for multiple divisions in each day’s assignment, and it doesn’t seem built into the scheduler. For example, say we want to read 90 poems over the next 45 days of this semester. So, I want to list in my custom resource that there are 90 poems/divisions, but I would like to read 2 poems/day. Thanks!
The Organizer is designed to continue giving you assignments in the Daily Plan as long as there are divisions to check off. So in your case, all you have to do is read two poems per day and check off two poems each day as Finished.
As well as what Jordan said, you can click to “show upcoming assignments” to see what is next on your list too (if you do a printout)
Jordan and SCM crew:
But that said, it would be nice if you could put a note for the resource itself saying to do 2 a day, or other similar notes (instead of having to remember it yourself, and write a note each day…)
When I have this come up, I simply enter the resource as planned, with the chapter breaks or whatever as the divisions. Then I put a sticky on the book or resource itself to remind me to do two or three or whatever I wanted to do. Then I simply check off the amount I did that day. That way, if there is a day that I only get one done, I can check off the one I got done but not check off the one I didn’t get to–and that does happen sometimes, so it’s nice to have them entered individually.
When I do poems, however, I rarely enter in divisions. I simply enter the resource as a book without divisions, check off “worked on” when we read part of it, and click the whole thing done when it is done. This is simpler for me.
Okay, makes more sense now, especially now that I’ve been working with it all day yesterday! My “solution” was to make each division “2 poems” and just list half as many divisions as there were poems, if that makes sense? This does help with the problem of remembering how many to do for each assignment, especially since right now we are studying two different poets, and reading one a day from one, and two from the other. Thanks for all the help!
