getting organized

This week my goal is to get organized in a more organized fashion:)
I sat down each one of my kids separately after dinner tonight and had them tell me their schedule for the week. It worked out really well. I wrote their needs down on my weekly planner pages and I also wrote it down on a weekly page pad that I bought at Target over the summer. The pad sticks to the fridge with magnets. Now everyone including my husband will have access to the schedule. Pretty slick!
I also wrote down all the things that I would need to prep and put it down on the to do list a day in advance so I have given myself a little extra wiggle room in case I cannot accomplish everything I need to.
I know that I am not alone out there in having too many things to do and too many places to be during the week. But that is to be expected when you have a large-ish family like I do and kids who aren't driving yet. Hopefully, a little planning in advance will help the week go more smoothly.
What do you do to help yourself be organized?
