Holiday Week

A free planner for the weeks when both parents work from home and the kids are off school.

This week is shared. Whoever has the link is in it, on any device, and edits show up as they happen. There is no password, so the link is the key: keep it between the two of you. Connecting

What the colours mean

Kids out on their own. Camp, grandparents, a club: a block with just the children in it. Protected. Someone else has the kids, so work lands. Held. A parent has them, the other can work. Grey zone. Half working, half parenting. Clash. A child has nobody.

Every block is one of two things, Work or Personal (make your own labels for anything you like). It is filled in the colour of whoever's time it is, and who is in it decides the rest: a parent with the kids is on duty, the two of you alone is couple time, just the children is cover. The rail down the left of each day is the verdict, worked out from the blocks, never typed in.
Blank time is not empty time. If neither of you has anything booked, it counts as both of you with both children, and the board shows it as a faint Together band. So the grey zone only ever appears when one of you is genuinely trying to work while a child has nobody.
The day runs from 04:00, for the early start. Before 07:00 and after 20:00 the children count as asleep and need nobody, so work in those hours is protected, never grey.
