Add in all the midwife appointments (we've now entered the every two week phase of pregnancy).
And then try to plan hikes around all this (I'm part of a national organization in which volunteers lead weekly walks for families with little ones).
Good luck, I tell you.
It's just too much to keep straight. I tried using an online calendar, but I need to see it all laid out in front of me. Plus, I'm still trying to come up with a system to ensure my bills get paid in plenty of time.
I really wanted one of the fabulous life planners I'd read so much about by Erin Condren Design, but I didn't have $50 to spend on a planner. I did, however, receive an Amazon gift card as a Christmas present, so I spent many (many) hours perusing the options. I finally decided on one and, after one of the most discouraging deliveries on the planet, it eventually arrived. Side-note: Is this why people have Prime? So their packages don't drop off the grid and arrive 4 days later than expected? Anyway, moving on.
Having only used the planner for a couple weeks, I've already realized that I would have preferred one with the days broken down by hours so I could block out whole chunks of time. Next year! Otherwise, I'm loving it.
And it's one more item I can cross off my 2015 To-Do List.

What does flex mean?
I love my planners. I've tried several different kinds
Pretty!
(I've been making my own with my own artwork.)
When you have a flex shift you have to call the store a couple hours ahead of time to see if you're needed. Today I was not (phew).
It's cool that you make your own. I'm not that crafty.
I've been struggling to find a good day planner option, too. I used to use a Franklin Covey planner religiously, but then I changed jobs. My new workplace has a shared server calendar, so there wasn't a need to keep a paper calendar plus we got iPhones (with shared google calendars) at home, so I just quite using it.
This past year I've taken on so many more responsibilities at work that I simply must get a good to-do list system going again. I'm trying a no-frills daily planner I got at the dollar store that has a whole week on each two-page spread, combined with some super simplified Bullet Journal tricks. We'll see how it goes!
Also, can I just say that you're a super hero for leading hikes and working two jobs while a million years pregnant? Seriously. Super hero.
Well, I don't FEEL like a super hero, but thank you. :-)
