Family Calendar Life Hack

Here is a life hack for your busy family life. Years ago when I had to cart teenage kids to work, school functions, friends,etc all because they did not drive yet, our schedules were always crossed. Someone was left waiting. No one knew when anyone worked or had to be some place.

I came up with a plan. I bought some colored markers (thin line) and a desk calendar. I put the calendar up in the stairwell to the basement so it was out of sight to guests. Each family memebr had a different color marker. They wrote all their appointments on the calendar.

If someone was not home from school when I thought they should be I looked at the calendar and there was a note saying my daughter had band practice after school or my son was going to so and so’s house to work on a project. I could also tell who had to be carted where each day. Total cost was less than $10.00.

Just my 2 cents. Jim @ ChangeJarSavings.com
