Springpad, I need you in my life!

I have seven different planners and organizers.  Seven!  I have notes about school work, meetings, weightloss, menu and grocery planning, and multiple calendars.  It is out of control.  I would use Springpad to organize my work and homelife.  I think I have a pretty common problem of work and home merging and I never get to relax.  If I had an efficient schedule mapped out of which progress reports were due, as well as a schedule to break down large projects into manageable periods over the course of a month, my life wouldn't be so hectic.  Then I can get to work whittling down all my other planners.  Sigh.

 

Springpad to success

Who needs a launchpad with Springpad around? These are the tools that will get you there and get the job done right. I especially am thankful for the shopping springpad that keeps my butt off the couch at night. Now I never forget an important hygiene product that the Mrs. may have asked for.

 Check them out, you won't be disappointed.

 

This will definitely keep me more organized.

I have viewed several planner sites, but this by far has the most content.  I love the daily planner and the whole Holiday and celebrations line of springpads.  I will definitely use this to keep me sane during the holidays and beyond.

 

The Weekly Meal Planner is to die for

I had never seen this before until just now. I have downloaded the Weekly Meal Planner and am having a great time with it. I prepare meal for the week and this will make it so easy for me to plan, shop and prepare them. I love Springpad, can't wait to go check out the other options and get more.

 

Cool & Clever

The babysitter handbook tool is pretty cool.... This looks like a really useful and clever site. I can really see how this will help to simlipfy and organize all that busy Moms & Dads have got going on.

 

Front and Center on my Desktop

I am becoming more and more disorganized as the years go by. Having two teens with a multitude of activities and obligations, I find myself rushing through the tasks of the day, spending hours in the car, and then getting frustrated in the evening to find I had forgotten things and many tasks remained undone. This site is an eye-opener for me and it is now front and center on my Desktop. So far my favorites are the Weekly Chore Tracker and the Trip Planner. I've decided to spend the next week organizing on site, and hope to work off it on a daily basis. I am so very glad I stumble upon this blog! I have organizational hope now....thanks for the opportunity

 

forgot to add...

I would like to see a college search planner as my daughter will be a senior next year, and there are so many tasks to tackle and document.

Great idea!  I'll see what we can do.

My meal planner is such a great one.  This save on time and money for the family.  Any planner that saves time is a great idea.  I would like a springpad where hours could be listed for various stores and restaurants.

So far my favorite springpad is the weekly meal planner. I'm always deciding late in the day what to make for dinner, this will be great to plan ahead.

Easy...I need the receipt organizer. I work for myself, and all the receipts I collect are my nemesis! This would make my life (and my accountant's life) much easier!

 

I'm not eligible

And I still love that!  Where has it been my whole life?  I live and breath by my spreadsheets.  I have one for groceries, one for Christmas present, one for everything!  I think I love this SpringPad thing!  Thanks!

Class Notebook

The class notebook and the Christmas card list look good.  Do you have anything for getting ready to go away for college or for Freshman year?

 

Babysitter

Oh, nice... I like the babysitter one as we have just started to leave the kids more, as they are a little older.  That would be very useful.

The weekly meal planner

The weekly meal planner would be really helpful.

I'd love something that tracks little kids' wardrobes.  I try to buy a size or two ahead to take advantage of sales, used clothing, etc., and I'm always forgetting what I've already purchased.  Which is how my son ended up with WAY too many pairs of pants this fall.

 

Wardrobe Tracker

Another great idea! We'll wok on it.

looove springpad

I love the holiday gift list and household chores tracker.  I am going to make a springpad of household chores for my children to use every week.  I would like to see lists become printable unless Santa sends me a better phone so I can access my lists from my phone.

great idea

 I've signed up and am exploring a bit. For some reason it crashed my browser on the iphone. :(  I would view the lists on my iphone so I hope it won't continue to be a problem.

 

It seems to be a great tool.

looks good

College planner is what we are looking for.

 

Off to college

The College Search Planner is terrific!

 

Organization Not My Forte

 

 I would choose the Shopping List Manager and the Weekly Meal Planner. What I really need right now though is something flexible enough to put my grocery lists together by the particular store setup so that I can breeze through the store, only having to navigate the aisles I need. Scince I'm shopping at three different stores with three different layouts this can be difficult.  I would also like to be able to set up a general grocery list of common purchase items so that I can just print it out and circle or check what I need, and some sort of spreadsheet to keep track of lowest sale prices.

 

Thanks!

 

 

Neat

 I like the Weekly Chore Tracker, Favorite Recipes,  and Weekly Meal Planner. All these would come in handy.  I tried to think of a new idea and all I could come up with is a wedding planner.

Weekly Meal Planner

I could definitely use the weekly meal planner.   I always think about dinner too late, then start too late, only to find I don't have all the ingredients I need to make dinner.  This would really help me out!

 

Medical Tracker

I really like the medical tracker, I have so many doctor appointments to keep track of and have slips of paper all over the place.  I never even knew this type of tracker existed!  I also really like the Receipt Tracker, I'm horrible with that!!  I didn't see this one here and not sure if I missed it, but I would create one for my son's after school activites.  Between karate and wrestling, and practices 4+ times a week, it gets hectic and hard to keep track of.   I'm bookmarking springpad!!!  Thanks!

 

Springpad for Organization

There are all sorts of SpringPads to help keep us organized.  The holiday planner, weekly meal planner, and the receipt tracker look especially helpful.  Think of all of the little pieces of paper that I won't have lying around.

 

Nice!

My favorite SpringPad is the weekly planning menu.  I think you've got just about every list I can think of...except maybe a CD/DVD inventory list and a wine inventory list!

 

I'd get the receipt tracker.

Meal planner

I could use th weekly meal planner as it would help me stick to my budget and hopefully to eat better.  I am trying to plan meals out in advance so I can benefit from sales and coupons and make healthier dinners.  Thanks for the contest!

 

Weekly Meal Planner

The weekly meal planner would be very helpful to me.  I get in a rut making the same few dishes over and over and this would help me add variety to our meals.

I love the my idea ones and how you can separate them into work, home, and personal. I have a few notebooks teaming with ideas and it's easy to misplace them.

 

Neat Concept

I tried to sign up, but got an error message.  I'll try again later.  The meal planner looks useful.  I'd like to see a rebate tracker for those holiday purchases.
