Beating
the Rush
Today’s world is one of ever-increasing
activity. Families rush around from one thing to the next,
juggling work, school, numerous extra activities, and maybe (if
they are lucky) some sort of social life. Understandably, this
is often a hectic and stressful process for all those involved.
Parents in particular may find it difficult to orchestrate the
numerous soccer practices, ballet lessons, and swim meets their
children must attend. And that is not even mentioning any extra
time that might be required for work or other activities not
related to their kids.
So how can you make all these thing work without ripping
your hair out in frustration? Well, the best way is to
streamline your planning. This can be accomplished with a
number of methods, but they all essentially boil down to
planning your activities in advance and in detail to avoid
hassles and confusion.
You can use some kind of organizer or planner as a central
point for your family’s activities. This can be a
professionally designed system, such as those you might find in
office supply stores, or it can be a simple ring-binder
notebook. Divide the notebook into sections for each family
member, and use it to keep track of any appointments and dates,
as well as notes and important phone numbers.
Bring your family together once a week to make
out a master schedule for the week and place it in the
front of the binder. This should include any activities
your children will need to be taken to, and who will be
taking them. This will prevent the confusion over who
needs to go where, which is far too commonplace without
any scheduling. This also gives you a good idea of just
how full your schedule is, and will help you determine if
you need to cut back on anything to make your schedules
easier to manage.
