Summer Plans

When summer ends do you think, “Where did the time go? I didn’t do many of the things I wanted to!” Now is the time to plan, so those goals can be accomplished.

Start by making a “To Do” list with two categories: household projects (such as clean the garage, plant flowers, wash windows on the outside) and leisure activities (such as visit a local park, have a picnic, go on a weekend getaway). If you have children, include them in the planning.

Get out a calendar. Write each activity from the "To Do" list on the specific date you would like to do that goal, spreading the activities throughout the summer. Post the calendar in a prominent spot in your home and refer to it often.

Although interruptions may come up and some goals may need to be delayed, by the end of summer you’ll have completed many of the activities on your “To Do” list!
