Weekly review is the most effective with daily check in for schedule integration between two partners.  Sunday evening is the most popular choice to go over the schedule together.  Before evening, I think partners should go over their own schedule and plot it out for the next week.  If there is anything long term, they should plot those down as well if known.

So every Sunday, individual partners schedule should be plotted down for next week at minimum.  Then later afternoon, they should go over short term, medium term, and long term review.  Things like major events (birthdays/major holidays) and vacations should be planned in advance.  Once majority of the items are put down, it’ll be as easy as just following up to make sure it doesn’t change.  I’d say, short terms are weekly, med terms are monthly, and long term includes up to 1 year.

Everyday at night or weekend morning, during diner or dinner, a quick check in for daily/weekly/monthly schedule can be discussed.  It’s great to start off by going over next day plan, then weekly plan, and monthly plan and make it into a habit.  Having an app on phones and going over it together will make it easier during the conversation.

The goal is to deconflict and work together to make a schedule that works for both people and ensure other partner gets to do what they love to do.
