There really are so many ways to plan, and while I’m a January start girl and my planner walks me through quarterly resets, I have my own little system that involves a recalibration in mid-May! This is when the school year wraps, for us, “summer” starts, and my birthday approaches (May 24!). I also do another one in early August as summer winds down and the school year begins.
These 12-13 weeks get their own monthly printouts and a running planning note on my phone (the only planning I ever do on my phone!) that I update each year with new dates/plans/etc. (camp registration dates, movies in the park, festivals, VBS, etc.) and then transfer to our four month spread on the chalkboard!
In a lot of ways, this week feels like “a new year” to me, because of this system!
Kristine— I knew I liked you! Sounds like we think alike. Have you read the book The 12 Week Year? Your method sounds close to that. I’ve not read it but it’s on my TBR.
I love this!
