What are workboxes?

[tranquilmama]

Or is there a thread that talks about how set them up? My search didn't get me the info I was looking for.

 

TIA

Workboxes are a way of organizing daily and/or weekly work. You can go with the origional system or adapt them to your life. Here are some links. Just page down to the workbox links and I also linked some of the workbox blogs I think are good.:001_smile:

Here are a few of my favorite workbox links. This should give you a pretty good idea what it's all about:

 

This site has over 50 pics/links of peoples workbox systems:

Be sure to check out the printables here:

My favorite printables for the workboxes, these are also linked at the Squidoo site. They are called Circle Tags by Cassie. This has the schedule strip, numbers, mom help cards, plus more (after you read about workboxes you'll know what these are for). Very cute:

Workboxes are based on the system by Sue Patrick http://www.workboxsystem.com/

But, most people tweak the system to work for them (everyone seems to do it their own way). If you are still interested, I have the book for sale....just PM me. :001_smile:

Workboxes have helped so much here! I think of them as a 3-D schedule--it shows what to do and has all of the books and supplies organized right there for you. Here are pictures and a description of ours.
