![]() While we know that our students can suffer from "the blank page syndrome" when it comes to writing assignments, we adults can become paralyzed by the pen as well. In a world where people rarely temper their thoughts on social media, we increasingly have issues committing our plans to paper in a way that is thoughtful, strategic, intentional, and comprehensive.

This is not an article that will tell you what to put down as your "essentials" but, rather, how to approach this often elusive subject. So, let's look at a few operating principles to consider when working with your spouse to define your list and execute your plan.
