![]() ![]() If you’re new to Scattered Squirrel, to snag a copy of any of the printables for yourself, just simply click the pictures of the ones you want and the PDF version will open for you to save. This way we can break tasks down into easy to manage chunks, and visualize how much time it’s going to take. The weeks at the bottom gives me room to plan in more detail. It allows me to plan out a larger project over a month or more if needed. Not all projects need detailed planning like this, but for some of the bigger projects I found this to come in really handy. The last project planning printable in the set is a monthly planning page. On the opposite side I plan to print the matching grid paper so there is room for extra notes as the project progresses. I realize that some projects might not really need steps, so this area could also be used for shopping lists, reminders, or anything else you might need. I find that breaking a project into steps can really help me to visualize how much time is going to be needed to complete it. There’s space for jotting down ideas for the project, materials needed, and the steps needed to complete it. I figured having one page to keep track of all the details was a good idea.Īgain, it’s simple. This, by far, was one of the biggests challenges with my previous systems. This printable was designed to keep track of all the details for a project. ![]() ![]() I plan to use those last columns as check boxes, but I made them big enough to put in dates if that’s what works best for you. There’s room to write down what the project is, the page number (if you want to use that column) as well as the Start and End. As you can see in the picture above it’s just a simple list. The easiest way I could think of was to create an index for the projects.Įasy to set up and easy to maintain were the two criteria I used for the Index. With multiple projects on the go in our family, I knew I needed something to help me keep track of all of them. My goal was a system for planning and tracking our projects. I knew right from the beginning that one printable wasn’t going to be enough for this. That’s where the new project planning printable set comes in. Aside from home projects, we each have our own hobbies and interests, and I wanted to create a system that was flexible enough to accommodate them all and was still easy to set up and maintain. We have a variety of different kinds of projects on the go at any given time. I finally decided it was time to figure out a way to organize our projects in a way that help us stay on track and that would be easy to maintain as time went on. The idea was great, but I was finding that information about various projects was getting scattered amoung the months and weeks.Īs you can see, some worked better than others, but none stood the test of time. ![]() Scheduled Them in my Planner – the goal with this was to make time to actually get the projects done.Dedicated Notebook – this worked for a bit, but it got very confusing over time as I updated the information.Lists – which work great, but over time they need to be rewritten, and I found I was rewriting things too often, or not updating them as I should.Over the years I’ve tried a number of different systems to help work with my scattered brain. Oops! Now, we have an extra year’s worth of stuff to go through. The workload will quadruple before I remember that – oh yeah – we were going to clear out the clutter from that space last year. There’s just one problem – I’m a scatter-brain and if I don’t have a way to keep track of what we have going on, or need to do, nothing will ever get done. After all I love making lists and planning things. I’m not sure how I ended up being the project keeper, but I did. In our family, I tend to be the one who keeps track of all the projects we have on the go. That’s why I created a project planning printable set. Keeping on track with our projects, whether they’re for fun or necessity can be tough. It often feels that we just finish one and two more pop up. Projects that need attention at work or for school. Craft and hobby projects that we want to tackle. There always seems to be something that needs to be worked on around the home. In this crazy thing we call life, projects seem to be never ending. ![]()
