Welcome Back!!
This post is a continuation from last week, so before you read any further, make sure you’ve read Part 1 here!
Now that you have your Tasks List started and have been working to practice your Daily Routines for a week or two, you are ready to add to your plan.
Let’s get started!
Step #1: Refer to your
TASK LIST from Part 1 and review items you marked as WEEKLY.
Step #2: Download the Weekly Routine Worksheet below. (hint – there is a sample weekly list included!)
Step #3: Assign weekly tasks to a particular day of the week. – Some tasks are decided for you, like trash/recycling pickup – Others you decide (Errand day, Cleaning day, Grocery shop day).
The key is to distribute the tasks throughout the week on a day that works best with your schedule.
Tip! Try to schedule your weekly tasks during the week so you have weekend time for fun & family time!
Step #4: Keep track for 1 month. Check off every time you have completed the task for each day of the week.
- Make notes. Did you do more in the time block than you planned? What tasks did you add?
- Reflect. Could you tell a difference in your productivity this week? Did having this list, a plan, reduce stress for you?
- Plan for the next month. Make a copy of the checklist taking in to account your notes made during each week.
Step #5: Keep working on your daily and weekly routines for the next several weeks. You should start to notice that you are doing the tasks without having to refer to the checklist.
