Scheduling My Month Part 2

I meant to post this the other day, but frankly, I'm having problems coming up with a schedule! I know I should, and I did come up with a general one, but there sure are a lot of "depending on" notations. For example, I would like to set aside Mondays for yard work, mowing, weeding, fertilizing, etc. But that would be "depending on" the weather. Tuesdays would be good for going to the grocery, but that would be "depending on" the pay day. So I pretty much came up with guidelines rather than a set schedule.

Mondays - yard work
Tuesdays - shopping
Wednesdays - youth/small groups
Thursdays - trash night/clean up
Friday - laundry

Wednesdays and Thursdays are non-negotiable. Even if I have to add shopping into one of those nights, it will still always be church activities night and trash night.

For my monthly schedule, this is going to have to be done month by month. For the rest of August, I need one baking Saturday (the 15th), and I have a friend who is going to come down and help me with some extensive yard work and be a sounding board for practical ideas for landscaping one Saturday. (She's much better at that than I am!) That leaves one unplanned weekend. Depending on the budget, we may take another inexpensive day trip or just do things around here. I'll know better about that tonight after working on finances.

So, I'll try it. It really isn't that much different from what I've already been doing, but I would like to make an effort at being consistent, yet flexible when needed, and not procrastinate near as much! Wish me luck! haha
