Best scheduling idea.....so far.

I am a fantastic plan maker. 

You show me what we need to accomplish, I will make you up a schedule to get it done. 
I'll probably even use Excel and make it look pretty.

Implementing the plan.  Well, that's a different story.

I stink at follow through.  I have grand ideas and then I get lazy, tired, distracted and I don't
follow through.  Next thing you know, there's nothing to eat and the house needs condemned.

I told you about how much Money Saving Mom's Makeover Your Mornings helped

So I just snapped a picture of it with my phone and loaded it up that way.  Whatever.

 

It works.

 

I'm loving it!
