Friday, February 01, 2008Rule Number Six6. Be organized. You will keep track of our calendars as a family and remind me of appointments I need to keep. On weekends I will plan your time. If you have plans or appointments for weekends, make sure I know in advance. Pet has a better memory than I do, and has more fancy technological toys to keep track of our family's schedule and budget so he does those things. Nothing causes us more stress than a disrupted schedule or a missed appointment, so we work hard to keep this in check. A tool subs who do the organizing might be interested in is Google Calendar. We can share our calendars with each other so that if I add an appointment, he is aware of it immediately via his blackberry and email. We find that things are much more clear when we can both access our schedules. He also puts his work schedule in so I know when he's in a meeting or away from his desk. We also add our weekly meal plans there, so that if one of us is stuck in traffic or away from home the other knows what is for dinner at the touch of a button. Any organization and destressing we can do adds to our chosen lifestyle because we have more time for service and dominance. |
