Back to School Part 2: After School Activities, Homework, and Cleaning

September 6th, 2010

Between homework, after-school activities, friends, family, cleaning, errands and a zillion other events competing for your time, yours and your child’s life can be shockingly full of activity. It’s not easy fitting it all in, but you’d be surprised how much you can get done when you learn to organize your time.

Hi, I was saddened to hear that Franklin Covey is no longer going to carry your fabulous time management system for next year. Your system has been a lifesaver for me. Where can I purchase the new calendar for 2011. Thank You.

I don't have kids, but I love your suggestion of a family-wide study hour. That makes huge sense to me.

With homework, I find that the overly complex systems at my son's school bewilder him. They need Organizing Your School from the Inside Out! The biggest problem is too many different ways to record homework, too many places to put it when it's in transition. My suggestion is every subject has a 3 hole binder and everything goes into that binder--no loose folders, spiral notebooks, etc. Julie, do you have any articles/info/advice for schools setting up organizational systems for homework? I wish I could hire you to make sense of the madness of our kids' homework assignments! --Nancy

The last part,about training the whole family to participate in doing the household chores, will be challenge. But I guess, it all comes to training them from the start that everyone needs to get their hands a little dirty to make the house spotless. Regarding homework, a set time would also be challenging to enforce. - Layce of Homework-desk.com
