For Planning Purposes

Saint Louis, MO (PRWEB)—Embracing a new journey—going back to school or beginning a new work position after years of raising children—is a life-changing experience, full of excitement and challenge.

“When an adult makes a life change, other responsibilities shift as well,“ agrees entrepreneur Cecilia George. “This affects the entire family and can cause unexpected emotional challenges.“

President and First Lady Obama’s support of higher education for adults, for example, has resulted in many going back to college. Suddenly, Mom may not always be there when the kids walk in the door from school. Even though she will be improving their lives in the long run, the change can nonetheless create guilt. There are steps she can take to manage that guilt and become more organized with her new schedule.

George’s company, Daysteps LLC, which she co-owns with three other St. Louis, Mo., women, Bobette Kyle, Laura Thake and Kelly Wagner, offers one option. Their Daysteps Personal Lifestyle Planner helps women balance different parts of daily life and cope with change. The partners have merged critical areas of women’s lives into a convenient and versatile all-in-one weekly and daily planner for women, with room for appointments; workout plans, nutrition, meal planning and food journaling; to-do lists; head-clearing notes; and room to record each day’s events or reflections.

Wagner explains, “We developed the planner to be versatile. The woman, who is going back to school after a long absence, has different needs than one juggling a large family and volunteer work. Each will use the planner’s features differently. One may use the ‘morning, afternoon, evening’ space for her class schedule and appointments, for example, while another may use that space as a meal planner, food journal or exercise and fitness planner.“

The versatility allows each person to be organized in the way that best fulfills her goals. That same flexibility exists for the “Clear Your Head” and “Fill Your Heart” pages. One may use those spaces for introspection and reflection, writing her feelings each day. Another may use the same pages to make detailed notes about projects or tasks. The use depends on each woman’s needs.

The Daysteps team is now offering the July-December 2010 edition. It is available at http://www.daysteps.com and is expected to make a major impact on how women handle major changes in their lives.
