I’ve tried a number of different homeschool planner options through the years, and it always seems that there is something that bugs me.
- I can’t do my planning online; it has to be on paper.
- I don’t like the feeling of my pen scratching across cheap paper.
- I hate large planners; the 8×11 planners are just too big and clunky.
- And I hate plain and ugly; I need something beautiful if I’m going to be successful.
- I don’t prefer days of the week on the planner, since our homeschool week doesn’t include the traditional Monday through Friday schedule.
Maybe I’m a planner-snob, but I just know if I’m going to be faithful to use something every day to plan, it has to be something I enjoy using. Because I’ve had so much trouble finding something that fits all my criteria, I finally took some time last winter and made my own homeschool planner. I’ve loved it! My homeschool planner is so much fun that I’m actually disappointed when I’ve got all my planning done. I spend a few minutes wondering if there is anything else I could possibly write down.
Here’s a look at what’s included in my homeschool planner (and info on how to get it for free) as well as how I set up and use my planner.
