2025-05-07

Are you the one who keeps track of everything in your family—practices, pickups, early dismissals, who’s working late, and which kid needs to be where? If so, then you’re likely the family logistics coordinator… even if you never applied for the job. 😅 In this episode, I’m sharing the simple weekly calendar system I use to keep everyone in the loop—without a dozen daily texts, reminders, or repeat questions.

Are you the one who keeps track of everything in your family—practices, pickups, early dismissals, who’s working late, and which kid needs to be where?

If so, then you’re likely the family logistics coordinator… even if you never applied for the job. 😅

In this episode, I’m sharing the simple weekly calendar system I use to keep everyone in the loop—without a dozen daily texts, reminders, or repeat questions.

It’s low-tech, low-maintenance, and incredibly effective. Best of all? It only takes about 5 minutes a week.

In this episode you'll learn:

🔸 Why a visual family calendar on the fridge beats digital apps for weekly coordination

🔸 The power of keeping your system simple and focused (not everything needs to go on it!)

🔸 How color-coding saves time, prevents confusion, and gives you clarity at a glance

🔸 Why weekly planning works better than monthly

🔸 How this one small habit reduces mental load, saves you from being the “middleman,” and helps everyone become more independent

🔸 A behind-the-scenes peek at how I use Google Calendar, a bullet journal, and a fridge calendar together without overcomplicating things

Whether it’s school activities, sports, travel, or other events, this system works—especially since family members are constantly opening the fridge anyway. 😉

If you're tired of being the only one who knows what’s going on… this episode is for you.
