Do you have set days for doing things?

In a bid to become more organised I have decided to start doing things on set days. For example food shopping on a Monday/ getting petrol on a Friday/ car washed every 3rd Friday etc and marking it all as to-dos in my planner.

If you do does this work for you?

I try to have set days and keep lists but my set days usually end up actually being tomorrow.

That list above looks good so I might use that, thanks!
