I have recently commenced work as a full-time activities coordinator and am wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions of how they organize their days time wise. Like how many hours do most coordinator allow for group activities, exercise, one on one and what kind of time frame do they have for planning and reports and how often do you plan bus outings.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear Larissa, Thank you very much for your reply. I needed to hear what others are doing to see if I am on the right track, as I never seem to have an enough hours in the day too.
