Time Management for Empty Nesters
When it comes to organizing your life as an empty nester, plenty of calendars will help you stay on top of things. Here are just a few of my favorites.
Empty nesters, we no longer have a supervisor (i.e., our children) telling us what to do and when to do it. But now that we can do, be, and go wherever we want, how can we keep track of it all? The answer is simple: Get yourself an awesome calendar! When it comes to organizing your life as an empty nester, plenty of calendars will help you stay on top of things. Here are just a few of my favorites.
The Monthly Calendar
The monthly calendar is perfect for you if you're a visual person. This calendar allows you to see the entire month in one glance so that you can plan and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. If something does come up unexpectedly, add it to your calendar! The monthly calendar is great for keeping track of upcoming events like birthdays or anniversaries but also for those larger projects that may take more than one day to complete.
The Weekly Planner
For those who need more detail when planning their schedule, the weekly planner might be a better choice for staying organized. This type of calendar offers more space for writing down tasks and reminders and also allows for more flexibility if your plans change throughout the week. It’s also great if you prefer to break down large projects into smaller chunks so that they don’t seem too overwhelming or time-consuming.
Digital Calendars
Finally, many people today swear by digital calendars like Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar. These calendars offer easy syncing across multiple devices and allow users to customize their view daily or week-to-week depending on their preference. Digital calendars also come with helpful features such as reminder notifications so that users never miss an appointment or important event again!
No matter which type of calendar works best for your lifestyle, having some system in place will help keep your empty nester days running smoothly and efficiently! Whether a traditional or digital paper version, having a go-to calendar will help ensure that all of your commitments are met while leaving room for spontaneity and fun! So go ahead – get yourself organized and enjoy the freedom life as an empty nester has given you!
