Use a Daily Schedule

Life can get hectic, and if you have kids, work and other responsibilities, you probably know how easy it is to overlook engagements, appointments and activities. Keeping track of your social life, family time, school, work, hobbies, sports events and downtime can feel like a juggling act. A daily schedule may be just exactly what you need to keep track of it all. The benefits of keeping track of each day's to-do list are numerous.

• You will be less likely to forget important events. 
Making a mental note of an appointment or meeting can be a recipe for disaster. Not only are you more likely to remember an event if you write it down, but you will also have a visual reminder of client meetings, paydays, payments due and even birthdays. Reference your planner whenever you need a reminder of your to-do list.
• You will get better at managing your days. 
Daily and weekly overviews can allow you to see your entire to-do list quickly and easily. You can then organize each of your tasks according to priority and reduce or eliminate those non-essential tasks that are clogging your day. Remember to estimate how long it takes you to travel when you plan your day.
• You will become more organized. 
Organizing your life can help you stay focused on your goals, procrastinate less frequently, reduce stress, identify priorities and keep that feeling of being overwhelmed at bay.

Your time is valuable. Keeping track of your daily responsibilities can make everyone happy as you make it on time to your child’s recital or sporting event, the big meeting with your boss or your cousin’s 50th anniversary party. When it comes to creating your calendar, you have several options. Calendars and planner are readily available at office supply and stationery stores. A mobile application can make it even easier by allowing you to keep track of big events when you are on the go and set alarms as reminders.
