Why Boardside
A 6:00 game is really a 4:45 departure. Boardside keeps the time that decides your evening, plus the night type so everyone knows what kind of night it is.
Divide + Conquer assigns driving, dinner, and home jobs before the week gets loud — with a backup for the pinch point. A planner can't do that.
Tournament prep, meals, and school lunches are progressive checklists tied to real dates, so the bag and the food exist before the panic.
What's inside
Your family needs one source of truth.
A family schedule should not have a default employee.
Plan food for the week you're actually having.
Consistency beats novelty.
Prepare progressively — not frantically.
Mom is not the permanent external hard drive.
Build the week you actually have.
Make Monday require less from you.
Your household operates in seasons too.
Start where the pressure is highest.
Plus reminder alerts for upcoming tournaments, meals, and schedule changes, and saved worksheets you can reopen week by week.

Why I built it
The Boardside System started as the set of systems I used to run my own household — written down, tested against real seasons, and now built into an app so it doesn't live in one person's head.
— Michelle McHale, Boardside
