There were some major changes in store 2020. Truthfully I’ve never felt as prepared or as motivated as I did for the start of the year. I made a post here that shows you exactly where my mind was then. I truly had the best intentions, but as I sit here typing this we are on day 19 of social distancing and day 7 of “shelter in place”. Needless to say things are different.
This is my main planner. I keep it at home and it serves as the home base planner. I track everything in it, and I find myself often referring to it to see what we have done, and what we plan on doing. This is also my creative planner, this is what I use all my sticker kits in and what I spend time on. It for sure is a “pretty planner”. Now, I do love memory planning, and I may transition this to a full-on memory planner. A lot of my time while quartering has been back-planning and writing in what we have done in the past week.
This is my content planner. It started off as a budget planner, but I found it difficult to keep up with daily. I moved my budgeting to 70% online and 30% on paper (I know confusing I promise I will write a blog post later describing it all) and it has worked great for me. I am still figuring out how much I want to post and what to post about, but so far this has been great to document any ideas I have regarding content.
Monthly Petite Planner – I use this to forward plan. This is always with me (with or without the folio). I keep it in my purse to write down doctor appointments and such.
Softbound focused notebook – this is my journal. Now, I go through periods of carrying this with me and not. Usually it’s there. It’s a source of comfort and something I find myself constantly reaching for.
Undated Daily Petite – Now I will be the first to say that I have a love-hate relationship with the daily petite planners. Some times I love them, and sometimes I go months without using them. I do love the fact that they are only 3 months at a time so I don’t feel horrible if I find myself not using them. But, for days that are extra chaotic, or when we are traveling I love having this.
With my current work from home system I took advantage of the 50% off dated planners and purchased the April – June daily pages. I have been using the daily petites on-and-off since January and this seemed like the next logical step. I bought some extra note pages and this has been a great edition as my work planner.
I do want to mention that there are a whole host of other planners/planner supplies that I use regularly but I wouldn’t consider them in my “planner-line up”, that I normally don’t carry them out of my house, and you may not see me post about them regularly.
Petite Meal Planner – I am truly in love with this. I use this weekly to plan our meals.
Cultivate What Matters Powersheets- this is my goal setting planner
I thought long and hard about each of these planners. I have lots of goals for 2020 and I have purchased all of these— with the intention of using them— to help achieve these goals. Right now we aren’t leaving the house much so I am able to interact with these planners significantly more than normal. Truthfully I would love to simplify a little, but for right now it’s perfect!
