Daily Planner strips for workboxing

Because I designed my number cards and such, before reading Sue's book, I cannot use a lot the ones found on her site. I can use some of them, but the schedule strip is not sized to fit my cards. So it was much easier, and more economically sensible to just create some Daily Planner Strip [my name for it] that would work with what we already had. Therefore, I have my version of this idea and wanted to share. Now, I want to point out, that I still believe you should purchase the book in order to truly understand her system, and to also gain access to the various downloads she provides.

Here is a pic of what one sheet looked like a few days ago. I can put the "Do workbox number ..." on the strip as per my layout for their day, along with any thing else that would be a good break of activity for them. I also created the "Do wkbx number" cards (download link in side bar) [please note this is not exactly like Sue's design...I chose to switch up some components because I know this style will work better for my kids-so you will have to figure out which version will work best for you]. I simply chose 2 different card stock colors to separate the kiddos and then a coordinating color for the cards. The other activity cards fit fairly well in the sections-and those I really, really use a lot I can resize and reprint. The dish holds the cards once the task is complete (I have switched the boy to a small box-for safety reasons-but you get the idea). I hope all the sections are the same size in the download (looks to be), if not-I guess one will just have to tweak it a bit to match-it is sorta hard to get them exact...but hopefully, that will not be an issue....

I initially bulked at this component of the system, so I am still not sure if I will continue-or drop the idea.  For the boy-it was kinda nice.  He liked it; and it offered me room to put a few extra things on it.  For my teen-she may buck it like a wild Mustang.  I will have to see how it goes next week, when I start her on it.  It may be a blessing, and help her focus on getting a bit more organized-we'll see.

So there ya have it...my version of schedule strips.  Nothing earth shattering by any means-but for those with larger cards, it may help you out.
