Family Command Centre Tutorial





I recently changed my Family Command Centre, I originally had many different charts spread around the wall and it looked a little messy. I decided to make things look a bit neater and easier to understand so that the whole family can use this command centre.




Here is how I made mine:

Requirements:
  • Wipeboard (Magnetic optional)
  • Coloured tape
  • Sticky Labels (Design and print own labels)
  • Optional pinboard/wipeboard (as in photo)

Step 1: Make a paper plan of how you want to lay out your planner. Use the exact measurements of your board and draw to scale.
Step 2: Once you have decided on the layout then use the coloured tape to divide the different sections.
I chose to have the following sections: Family Notes, Weekly Menu, Shopping List, To Do List, Appointments, Future Events.

Step 3: Design the Labels on the computer and print off on sticky paper. Then place onto the board in the correct places.
Step 4: Hang up your board somewhere accessible for the whole family. (Mine is in the Kitchen).
Step 5: Start using - make sure to use the wipeboard pens!
Step 6: I have also added a pinboard and an extra wipeboard incase they are needed! (Optional)

Below is the original command centre that I had before designing this one. I think you will agree the new one looks much better!
