Organizing Summer Projects with Free Planning Printables

These simple planning printables are perfect for organizing summer projects! Whether you’re making some updates around the house or have projects planned with the kids, these printables can help you make sure you check off all the items on your to-do list!

It’s no secret that when I start to feel disorganized or when I feel overwhelmed by my to-do list, the first thing I do is make a printable. When I wanted to make sure our finances were on track? I made a pretty printable budget binder. When I decided that it would be helpful to be able to look at my plans for the week all at once? I made some cute planning pages. When I wanted to motivate myself to work out and eat healthy? Yep, I made a printable for that too!

Having all of my information organized in a way that makes sense helps me plan my time and make sure that I don’t forget anything, so of course when I started thinking about our summer projects for the upcoming months, I pulled out my computer and whipped up a few printables to help me get organized!

Organizing Summer Projects with Free Planning Printables

It may seem like it’s still a while off, but summer will be here before we know it! And while my projects list is long at any time of year, we like to crank out as much as we can when the weather is nice and our schedules are a bit freer. In order to get our summer projects organized and all planned out, I made a set of printables in two parts. The first part is the project page…

Click here to download the Summer Projects printable!

On this first page, I wrote out the major projects I wanted to accomplish this summer and broke them down into steps so I could see what all needed to be done for each project. If you are more ambitious than me and are planning on tackling more than four major projects, feel free to print multiple copies of this first page!

So for example, I’m hoping that I’ll finally be able to finish up our living room, and in order to do that I know I still want to: finish the board and batten (that we may or may not have started a few months ago… 😉 ), paint the walls, find the perfect sofa table, add some wall art, and finish it off with the perfect accessories.

Every part of the project gets added to the list. Once I have all of the pieces listed out, I take a look at part two of the printables, which is a calendar:

Click here to download the May-August calendar printables!

I realize that summer doesn’t technically start until mid-June, but I included May, June, July, and August calendar pages just in case you wanted to get started a little early. The calendars are undated so that you can use them for any year!

The first thing I did with the calendar pages was go through and write down any commitments we already have this summer– the boys’ day camp, our family vacation, the Haven blogging conference, etc. Once those things were filled in, I could easily see where I had room in my schedule, and I began writing in all of the pieces of my projects on the days I wanted to work on them.

I tried to give myself a realistic timeline for each project and even set aside some buffer days here and there in case I end up needing them. I made sure to include every step of every project that I wrote down on my first page somewhere on the calendar so I have a specific time set aside for each item.

I can want to get a lot accomplished during my summer, but I know that unless I plan ahead and set deadlines for myself, the whole summer can fly by, and I won’t have completed anything! If I’m proactive, though, and have a plan for getting everything done, I’m waaaaaay more likely to check all of my “to-dos” off of my list! (And isn’t that the best feeling ever?!)

If you have a long to-do list this summer, fire up your printer and get planning! You’ll be amazed at how much more you accomplish if you plan to do it ahead of time.

I’d love to hear about the big projects that you have planned for this summer! Let me know about them in the comments section below!

Happy Planning!

    Love the printables! I am hoping to get a lot of projects done over the summer. Of course, I want to work in the garden and the yard, but I am hoping to get two new bedrooms set up for my daughters. At 11, they finally want their own rooms — I will be giving up my home office for one of the bedrooms. Enjoy your weekend!

    This is exactly what I need!
    Our garden (and the addition of a new flock of chickens) has taken up our free time so far, but I hope to do some more work on our family room (mantel update, throw pillows, wall art) and possibly some budget updates to our kitchen.
    I’m excited to see what the summer holds!

    You are much more organized than me. My big summer project is moving, but since they keep changing our closing date, I can’t plan ahead 🙁

      That’s frustrating! Congrats on the new house, though! I know moving is a huge job, but setting up a new place can be so fun! I hope they work out a firm date for you soon! Hope you guys are doing well, Andrea!!!

    I like the way you think. My to do lists are usually on post-its or loose leaf paper. Printables are way cuter. As a teacher, I get summers “off” (I use that loosely) and there are so many things I would love to do project wise, but I am home with my 2.5 year old so my “project time” is limited to naps or here and there on the weekends. I think I might use your printable to create my steps to decorate my kiddo’s “more of a big girl” than baby room transition 🙂

    Great printables! The best way to get anything done is to have a plan and to have a plan work, a calendar will do the trick. I notice that calendars help me procrastinate less than I normally would, especially in the summer time. Thanks for sharing!

    These printables are so so cute! I’m terrible at planning and having the proper planning tools on hand help me a lot. I’m starting to practice the habit of writing down what’s on my head a lot more than I used to. Knowing what actually needs to be done, helps me feel less overwhelmed.
