How Do You Plan Linky Party!!

MrsStanfordsClass
So I am joining the How Do You Plan Linky Party hosted by Mrs. Stanfords Class. Looking through the blogs, I have noticed that most of you use the similar small squares across the week format for your plans. These are what I have seen in the classrooms as well. However, still being a student teacher, I have to follow a completely different (read extremely detailed)format. 
Instead of just writing - 
Teach this, 
with this book, 
and this activity....
I have to include 
Subject, 
Grade level, 
Time required, 
materials,
standards, 
Instructional objectives, 
behavioral objectives, 
Launch, 
exploration
summary, 
independent practice, 
differentiation, 
assessment, 
technology. 
Ack! 
This is why I am freaking out  worried about lesson planning. A lesson like that takes me at least 2 hours if not more. I have to script it out completely (what will I say, what will the kids say, etc). 
I plan on using a smaller, calendar type format for my in the classroom reference. I made one using the idea from The Wise and Witty Teacher Using post-it notes so I can move things around if I need to. I will post a pic of mine once I know our schedule (it is not final yet and school starts Monday!)
