This year, instead of using a regular lesson plan book, I am trying out a free online planner. Here is the link. It takes awhile to set everything up, but the initial time investment is worth it.
I never plan out more than 2 weeks at a time- it overwhelms me and leaves no room for my impulsive nature. But, to have the subjects in front of me every day keeps me accountable and on track.
My brilliant husband found the website when I told him I wanted to use homeschool planning software this year. He devoted hours and hours to finding me just what I wanted- but since he can't bring himself to let me have Windows on my computer (we are a Lenix -open source- family) all available software is out of the question-- it all runs on Windows. He complained loudly about this and even threatned to write an application for me to use. I find it amusing and ironic that all of my friends' husbands work for Microsoft- that evil empire. They laugh at me because of my husband's predjuice. JP is forced to use Microsoft at work, but no earthly powers can prevail on him to bring it into his house.
He convinced me that an online application is better anyways- my computer is old and prone to crashes. I will lose everything if it dies. Plus, I am getting a Mac next, and wouldn't be able to move the software over (don't get me started on those virtual Windows boxes).
