Streamline Planning

By Dannie • Mar 11th, 2008 • Category: Spotlight

Planning people are 50/50. What do I mean by that? There are those that want to write it down and then there are those that want it at the touch of a button. It might be more than 50 percent on one side or the other, but you get the drift. Finding the right planning system for you and your family can take time and a lot of patience.

If you choose to go the route of technology and use software to keep you in line, I think that I have stumbled on quite possibly the best, complete software package for family use, the Daily Home Planner.

An idea sprouted from a mom, Sara Kimmel, busy with her kids, but unable to plan out her days, simply for the lack of a program that could do all she needed. A call here and a call there, a former co-worker, Brandon, and Sara’s brother, Corey, were on board and WEK Software was formed. Their objective: create a software planning tool to organize every aspect of the family.

demonstration, I learned quickly this was more than just your daily calendar to note appointments - there was even a spot for your family budget! Take a peek below at all the possibilities with the  Daily Home Planner!

Daily Home Planner. Even if you are a paper and pen kind of person. There is a 30-day free trial available on the web site, so you can test drive it and see all the wonderful features. Basically, all the guessing as to “should I try it” are out the window. All that is left is solid planning and organizing your busy family and keeping everyone on track.

  1. My wife uses the Daily Home Planner and loves it. It’s kept our kid’s schedules organized and everyone knows what’s for dinner every night. It’s a definite buy.

  2. Hi WIlliam - thanks for stopping by. I am in the process of using the Daily Home Planner for the first time. I have always been a pen & paper type person because I like writing things out, but I have a feeling I might enjoy using this planner.

  6. I just purchased the Daily Home Planner because I always have such a hard time finding the perfect planner that will allow me to plan schedules not only for my personal time, but for my husband; 3 home businesses; and 2 motorcycle riding chapters! We are very busy people, and I just have not been able to find the perfect planner that will allow room for all of our activiites. The Daily Home Planner looks like it will do just that by allowing me to create schedules for each activity we are involved in, and include them on one calendar!! How simple is that!!! THANK YOU WEK!!!

  7. It works for me and my partner. We run a few successful businesses and the daily home planner helps us to organize our business time and our hometime.
