Hello and thanks for stopping by Planned + Present. My name is Nicole Avery and I have been sharing tips on how to use planning and organisation to have more time to enjoy family life on my blog Planning With Kids since 2008. In that time my posts have been read by millions of people and I have helped them solve many of the common problems in family life.
Being planned means you can be present with your family. But planning and keeping the family organised can be a challenging task. As mums we are pulled in many directions and our attention can be required in so many areas it can be difficult to work out where we should be spending our time.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could follow a workflow that takes you step by step through the key routines you need to create a solid foundation for your family?
Planned + Present E-course does just this and it when you undertake the course it isn’t just you who benefits. Being planned and organised has many benefits that flow onto the whole family. It:
While you may have to outlay money for the course initially, over the year, it will easily pay for itself through the savings you can make. Planned + Present will save you money by:

Perhaps you have undertaken a 21 day challenge to get you organised only to stop being organised as soon as the challenge finished. Or perhaps you have started new routines in the home but gave up in frustration from lack of results after a week.

Family life is full of challenges and our ability to navigate them determines how stressful or harmonious family life can be. Do you ask any of these questions:

Planning! Even just a little bit of planning can leave more time to spend having fun with the kids, having time out for yourself and having time for things to go wrong, because as we all know family life isn’t always smooth sailing.
Take planning a step further and you can establish processes for those repetitive tasks of family life, allowing you to be more effective and efficient with your time, so you can be more present with your family.
Planned + Present is a step-by-step guide on how to organise the chaos of family life while still leaving space to enjoy it.
My philosophy is to streamline the known repetitive tasks of family life (eating, cleaning, getting kids ready for school etc), so you can then better manage the unpredictable and the inevitable parts of family life (sick kids, fighting, tantrums etc) but still be fully present to enjoy your family.
You will learn the Planned and Present Workflow which will help you change your mindset and behaviours to get you organised at home for the long term. 21 day challenges tell you what to do each day, which to use an old adage is effectively giving you a fish – I am going to teach you how to fish.
You will learn how to use the workflow time and time again to adjust your planning and organising as your family stages, ages and circumstances change.
Planned + Present is for mums who:
Through out the course lessons I will take you on a journey where we work out where you are spending your time now, determine where you want to be spending it and creating a plan to get you there. The course will deliver to you:

Essential routines for the home is a big topic, so I have broken it up into 2 parts. The first three routines we cover are by far the biggest ones in terms of taking time to establish and the impact they have:
The routines we look at in part 2 work in with the three routines we created in part 1 to enhance the smooth running of the household. The three routines we cover in lesson four are:
Like the routines, being present at home is covered in two sections. To kick off processes we look at how to:
