WFMW (Inexpensive 4’x4′ White Board)

The new year always brings out the best in me. At least the best resolutions.

To help myself actually stay on track, I’ve gotten organized. I put up a huge (4’x4’) whiteboard behind my desk. A year at a glance calendar is to its left.

Now this could’ve cost me a young fortune, but it didn’t. Here’s where my Works-For-Me Wednesday tip comes in.

The white board did not start out as a white board. I bought an 8’x4’ shower board at Home Depot.  The cost of the board? $12.00. They cut it in half for free.

My generous brother-in-law (bil) screwed it into the wall and framed it with left over molding pieces. It looks awesome. And I’ve used it a lot already! It is great to have enough space to keep writing down items (for the to-do list) as I think of them. It is also FUN to erase the completed items.

The other piece will go into my living room. I’ll probably just nail it into the wall because I don’t want to wear out bil’s generosity. I plan on using this for homework practice and playing games. Wouldn’t it be snap* to play Pictionary on something this size?

Oh yes, for those who don’t know, snap now has two additional meanings: cool and you’ve been dissed. In this context it means cool.  J
