Family week: who, where, when, and what's for dinner

One view of the week that stops the Tuesday-morning panic.

Help me organise the family week.

Who's in the household and their fixed commitments this week (work, school, activities, appointments), with times: <paste>
Who can drive or pick up, and when: <describe>
Meals: <who cooks, which nights are tight, anything already planned>
Things that need to happen this week (errands, forms, calls, birthdays): <list>
What went wrong last week: <one line>

Produce:
1. Conflicts first: every place two things overlap or someone is needed in two places, with a suggested fix for each.
2. A day-by-day grid: morning, afternoon, evening, who's where, who drives, what's for dinner.
3. The week's admin, assigned: each errand or task with a person and a day, spread so no one day is overloaded.
4. Tight-night dinners flagged, with a quick option for each.
5. One block of unscheduled time protected for the family, and one for each adult, placed where they'll actually survive.
6. A five-line message I can send to the household summarising the week.
7. The one thing to decide now to avoid a repeat of last week's problem.

Plain, practical, printable.

Replace every <placeholder> with your own details before you send it.

How to use it

  1. 1Dump everyone's commitments, including the small ones. Small ones cause the collisions.
  2. 2Ask for the conflicts section first. That's the whole reason to do this.
  3. 3Print it or pin it where everyone looks. A plan in your phone is a plan only you have.
