Yes, it is flying! School and college information in coming in weekly and I'm trying to wrap my head around the typical changes and now the coronavirus inspired changes at school. It seems that I need more and more time to just be and process the changes. I think it is a grieving of what use to be and what is. I'm just making sure that I'm taking a few extra minutes here and there through out the day now to take care of me.

Pam,I like how you have a section for following up on packages. I'll have to keep that in mind when I do online Christmas orders. I usually go haywire with orders from Black Friday through Cyber Monday. I try to track everything but it does get crazy.

Yes, it's really helpful to have packages and calls I need to make or are waiting for a return call all in one list. They are sort of scattered across the weeks and month in my planner.

I too found this to be a great idea not only for parcels that are on order but just any follow ups that need doing.

I realized last year that I didn't keep a good record of things I ordered. I need to do better with that this year, too.
