Organization is not my forte...?

Question

I wanted to have some way of planning my week, so I bought a whiteboard and divided out the days of the week in sharpie. I just dont know if I should write the times out on there as well (like make it an hour by hour schedule on each of the days )or if I should just write in what time everything is as I fill in the days. If this makes absolutely no sense let me know and I'll try to clarify. Its kind of hard to explain haha

Answer 1

just write what you need to do for the day. i think that if you wrote in the certain times, it would make you more anxious to stay on schedule. just do what you need to do throughout the day and it will get done.

Answer 2

If you are not one who organizes by nature putting times on the schedule will only be anxiety producing and cause more trouble than they are worth.  The only times I would put would be appointments that must be kept such as doctors and the like, but nothing else.  As far as anything else, I would just write it on the day you wanted to accomplish it and give yourself all day to do it.  I had to use that kind of schedule for quite a while before I could use one with hours on it...and still don't put daily tasks down by hours unless they are appointments!

Hope this helps.
