Tips & Resources for Busy Families

Here are a few tips and resources we've found effective in helping deal with the diverse communication and scheduling needs of our busy families.

Set Expectations

On an average day, does each member of your family know what they're supposed to be doing without your telling them — a few times? With Mediabee, you can create a daily plan for each family member months in advance or on the spot — and leave the reminding to Mediabee. Don't look for an overnight miracle, but over time you're bound to see remarkable improvement.

Provide Feedback Continually

Encouragement for task completion is essential to keeping family members motivated. Mediabee provides a progress meter — a great visual feedback mechanism that encourages kids to make the meter turn to green from red. Tracking activity completion over an extended period and associating rewards is also a cinch.

Help and Be Helped By Your Community

Dealing with all the paper that your child brings back from school can be a nightmare. Keeping up with what's due when and the communication (or lack) thereof is the cause of much household anxiety and stress. Wish there were a better way? With Mediabee there is. Join up with other parents in your neighborhood and together you can easily make life better for everybody.

For example, my daughter brought in the Westborough Mill Pond School Fireflies Assignment Schedule - three sheets of paper with about 15 different due dates. It took 2 minutes for me to create a list in Mediabee by the same name. It looked something like this (literally):

Reading assignment #1 due, 10/1
Writing project #1 due, 10/5
Science project #1 due, 10/8
Writing project #2 due, 10/12
Science project #2 due, 10/15
.
.
.
Math project #2 due, 11/15

It took another 1/2 minute to click on "Share Publicly". Voila, the 90 students that shared the same schedule now had an easy way to get this schedule on their calendars - by clicking on the Subscribe link. And the neat thing is, if I found out that I made a mistake or there is a change, I simply update my list and everyone gets the changes automatically.

Don't Just Make Lists - Delegate Automatically

With Mediabee, you can make a single to-do list and affect everyone's calendars - even your spouse's at work. Setup Mediabee with everyone's cell phones and email addresses and see how reminders and changes are automatically communicated to everyone at the appropriate times.

Use the List Planner for More Organized Planning

When you want to get many things done in a hurry, one of the most effective things to do is to make a list. You can use the Mediabee Memo Pad to create a quick (ad-hoc) to-do list. Or, for more organized or long term planning, you can use the Mediabee List Planner.
