In winding down this Scheduling 2014 recap from the Planning for Success series last year, the next three items consist of time-sensitive tasks to save money, energy, and time.
The fourth item is listed as a follow up for any new planning tools. Back in December, I shared links to calendars that I found helpful.
If you are trying out a new calendar, then evaluate it after a few weeks before you have too much time invested.
If it is not working for you, then change to another tool. The best way to using time wisely is using resources that help rather than hinder your progress.
To help us stay organized and on track, let’s add the following time-sensitive tasks to our calendar and use the reminder to evaluate our calendar system:
24. Prepare your Medical Spending Record: Planning for Success – Day 20
To save on medical expenses by using pre-tax dollars, we use a medical spending account. With money designated in this account for medical expenses, I record the credits and debits on the following FREE printable log:

25. Jot down Library Return Dates: Planning for Success – Day 16
Anytime we checkout books at the library, we receive a receipt listing the books with the due dates. I keep the receipt and enter the due dates on our calendar to remind me to drop off the books or renew them by the date to prevent paying a late fee for overdue books.
26. Enter Reward Deadlines: Planning for Success – Day 23
Playing the drugstore game is a great way to save money if you are using the store credits earned. To help me remember to use the rewards before their deadlines, I note the expiration dates on our calendar. With the reminder, I use the store credits and continue saving our family money.
27. Select a Planning Tool: Planning for Success – Day 1
As I love the monthly calendar, I always want to be sure that my planning tool is helping me stay organized. If you find that your planning tool is no longer working for you, then try another option before settling into 2014.
Our Schedule 2014 series is almost complete with these three time-sensitive tasks added. Tomorrow, I will finish covering the last four items dealing with food.
If your calendar looks anything like mine, it is getting full. This is good because all those items are written down for us to work through one day at a time as we continue using time wisely. Happy scheduling!
