Newbie Planner Thread Week 2 :)

[penguin129]

Hey all! How is the planning going? How do you plan? One week at a time or the whole month?

[penguin129]

I plan things on a Monday and on a weekly basis. Monthly is too complicated for me. Also joy of joys...

I have my monthly layouts done and my weekly spreads are planned.

I added two more journals to my 5 planners I already have ( 1 mini for my purse, 1 classic for my husband and I, 1 household/budget/meal planner, 1 fitness tracker and 1 journal for daily writing about life).

I now have a memory planner and a daily journal for writing prompts/handwriting and lettering practice.

I do! But I look forward to Sundays because it's my planner day. And, I like the daily stuff because it makes me sit and get thoughts down.

I have to plan as I go because my job is crisis based.

I start with the monthly layout and go from there.

I tend to use the monthly layout and forget about the weekly layout. My goal is start consistently using the weekly layout.

I need to figure out how to most efficiently use my planner. I am putting stuff in it but I don't know if I'm using it to its ultimate potential.

So far I'm liking my bullet journal, although I accidentally left it at work yesterday. I'm also realizing that I don't have all that many things to do (I don't mix work stuff with my personal journal due to preservation requirements - don't want to have to turn over my personal journal!). Maybe the planner will make me organized enough that I do more stuff.

How do you guys remember to look at the planner? I feel like all my stuff is on my google calendar so I just look there.

I generally keep mine open on my desk at work and update anything at night when I first sit down on the couch.

I have a Plum Paper and I'm keeping up with it. I added a habit tracker for the beginning of the month which I like but I want to redo for next month already.

I might start a weather grid in the back and then use it to make a 2017 weather crochet afghan but we shall see.

That's what I have and different colors for different events. I loved my planner in college but now I just use my cell phone. As far as lists I have an app for that that allows me to share with people-like H with a grocery list, meal planning list, to-do list

Things I don't understand from your post:

Habit tracker

Weather crochet Afghan

Please to explain? Lol TIA

The weather afghan you pick colors based on the temp ranges and then you crochet a stripe every day in the color that matches your temp range.

I'll PiP my habit tracker in a few.

Here is my tracker and this weeks spread. I'm failing miserably at cleaning 15 min a day. But overall I'm trying to watch water, reduce caffeine, log in MFP, and get my steps up.

I make it part of my daily routine. It is hot or miss what part of the day it falls it but I make a point to glance at it. I also type my plans on the SAHP check-in and refer back. I don't is any Google or other apps for planning etc. I prefer it to be on paper. I have about 4 calendars I keep.
