After school hours quickly become time to spend with them before bed time.  You may have to put a little extra planning into these after school activities.  In Highlands Ranch property management, we are consistently organizing a weekly schedule with plenty of hours for things outside of the business.  Any on the fly decision making needed for these actives will help with keeping everyone on schedule. 

The calendar approach is a great way to approach the week.  If there are multiple items that need to converge for these things to happen it is best to be organized.  Destinations and pick up times should be well established, especially if you are splitting duties with a significant other and have multiple kids a multiple event in multiple locations across town.  Having the requisite gear, supplies, uniforms, and snacks on hand will streamline this process.  The more efficient you are at getting them from area to area the better.

It is important to remember that your child should have some choosing with the activities in which they are participating.  Depending on their age and skill level you will stray from others and gravitate towards ones more compatible with them.  This is important because of the amount of pre- planning mentioned.  I you are going to have these intense schedules and planning put into driving across town you want to make sure at a minimum that your child enjoys what they are doing.  Otherwise it is a waste of time for everyone involved.  You especially do not want to drag them to anything.  They shouldn’t be miserable. 

There are many different calendar aps, widgets and reminder task lists you can sync up to your phone.  Color code these time blocks to be even more efficient.  You don’t want to forget that you must pick up your kid at one place on Thursday and an entirely different one on Friday.  Crises crossing those days is an extreme breakdown in efficiently and should be avoided at all costs.
