The Bottom Line
I think of my daily schedule in terms of my commitments. My writing time, PTA responsibilities, church work, etc. All the categories see at least a little action every day. So I love the BusyBodyBook's grid system which allows me to assign a different category to each column in the planner. It's easy to see at a glance which different areas of my life are requiring my attention, and to prioritize my day accordingly.

Guide Review - BusyBodyBook Planner
The BusyBodyBook is unique. It's grid system for recording your daily activities is genius.
I can organize my day by project, goal, or as is usually the case with me, by family member.
It's easy to see at a glance which child needs to be where. I've even found it convenient to jot down the things I've delegated to each of my kids so that I'll remember to check up on their progress. Consequently, the kids aren't so thrilled about the BusyBodyBook.
"I thought you'd forgotten about that", my son complained when I reminded him about our deal regarding him cleaning the outside toys.
I may have forgotten, but the book did not.
While there isn't a lot of room in each day's box, remember that there are 5 boxes for each day, allowing plenty of room to record appointments, projects, and activities.
