            I am a full time student, work full time and have a son. Thankfully I am able to stay at home for all of these. *Online classes are the best!* The problem I have is organizing my time. I have tried planners, online scheduler's, etc. My question is if anyone else has this same problem *doesn't have to be the exact situation* and how do you manage and organize your time? Any words of encouragement would be appreciated to. 
Thanks!

                    Buy yourself a day planner. I did, not only for me either ..i even bought my best friend one & we love it. She says it has helped her. I know for me it keeps me in order. I try to make time every day for it. I write everything down that needs to be done. Hope it works for you. You can find them in any walmart, target or office supply store.

                            a binder type..sometimes all these electronics take too much time. For me, writing my plans out helps me remember also.

                    I, too, have problems organizing. I am married, a full-time student, have a part-time job, 3 children, and a grandchild. I will be keeping an eye on this discussion to reap the benefits as well.  I have a planner for school.  But after the semester is 1/2 over, I lose my devotion to it.

                    Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the kind of event you organize is very important. ...

                    I make a plan for the day.  Like today I'll spend so much time on line, then go do some cleaning, then come back.  I find that if I break it up it makes it much easier to manage but also I don't get frustrated or tired of doing one thing, especially cleaning.  So like today I'll post here till a certain amount of time, then go clean a room, then come back and I'll bounce back and forth between the two.  I find if I don't do that and especially set limits of how long for each it's way too easy to get side tracked.
