Planning your day and developing a routine really can become second nature if you just stick with it. These tips will help you get started and pretty soon your household will be running like clock work!

  • 9. Establish a time for daily chores - Have a time for regular pick-ups.


  • 8. Remember that a project isn't finished until the clean-up is done. Schedule it in with the project.

  • 6. Many families schedule academics four days a week and reserve Fridays for field trips and projects.


  • 5. Schedule time for yourself - When laying out your plans, be sure to schedule time for yourself. Even a simple nap or 10 minute walk can work wonders!


  • 4. Ask your family and friends to hold off calling until you're finished with school or let the answering machine pick up the calls.


  • 3. Establish an evening routine - From dinner to bath to bedtime, younger kids will find it easier to get to sleep if you follow an evening routine.


  • 2. Lay out a plan for your year - Begin with an overall plan for the year and then break it down into quarters, months, weeks and finally get into the nitty gritty of a daily plan.
