I use iCal. Its alot like / almost identical to Google calender but on a mac. I also set reoccurring alarms on my cellphone. Ive been using a deep cleaning list with short but detailed directions for about a year now and it really helps get things done faster. I also use glass cleaner on light switches or walls. Thanks for your list, it shows me ways to improve on my own :) These are great tips, I have back problems so its pretty much compulsory for me to be organised.

What works for me is a two-calendar system as well. We have hung a desk blotter-style calendar on our pantry door in the kitchen, and this is Command Central for our family of 6. Everyone, including the Furry Kid with the Big Nose, has his/her own color, so each of us can scan the calendar for our own information. Whole-family activities, like family dinners, have their own color, as do birthdays/anniversaries. For my own day-to-day, stay-at-home-mom routine, I have a purse-size planner for noting what needs to get done each day. Someday I may graduate to a digital calendar, but for this season of my life, this system is a good fit. Looking forward to working through the rest of your site! Best wishes, MaryAnn Hi Laurel -
