First thing in the morning is to prepare breakfast for my kids who will go to school and for my husband who will go to work. Then do all the regular house chores. After that is my time for my work at home as a freelance writer. I just see to it that I give much time for my family before anything else. As of the moment, everything went well.

The spreadsheet is my general to-do list which also lets me keep track of my billing and I schedule tasks into my dayplanner. I've also used Gmail Tasks but find that so far my paper planner and spreadsheet combo seems to work better for me. Thanks for stopping by :) Hi Marjorie,

I have a Palm Centro with my daily calendar, but like you I multitask throughout the day. I used to have a schedule for each task, but I let that go by the wayside. Now that I have a bit more time (i.e., still seeking clients), I really need to get my schedule back on track again! Do you have a particular calendar system you like to use? I tried Outlook but it was hard to work with it. Cheers, Marjorie I don’t yet have kids, but scheduling is still a pain for me.

I don't want to be reading emails or writing in the midst of my favourite shows. It would, however, be nice to write in the back yard while the kids are playing outside though. Good luck and thanks for stopping by :) Dana Hi Jacky,

I'm sure my 2 year old has something to do with that. However, this is an area I strive to perfect. I am recently a single mom (been separated from my husband since December) and so far I am still making it on my WAH income, however I am beginning to feel the burn. I know that is coming from my lack f a schedule. One thing I have begun to do is write a couple of hours after my son has gone to bed. I bring my laptop into bed with me, so I am relaxed. That has ben working well, however, I desperately need a daytime schedule, too. I am so bad at scheduling. I’m sure my 2 year old has something to do with that.
