Ah Becky, the struggle is real! But I admire the way you had a nice sit-down with yourself and determined what you need. Hope your new two planner system suits you well and you get lots done!
I really enjoy your video’s! I too, have spent a ridiculous amount of money on planners, for too long, that went unused. I have to say…I was so confused when you were going through your planners and was thinking…you’re over complicating things for yourself (IMO), like I used to do. All of your items, minus the journaling, could be put into one cousin and simplified. Then I laughed at myself and shook my head while glancing over to my graveyard of unused, didn’t work, don’t remember why I bought that, and where did that come from, planners. I don’t know why we continue to do it to ourselves-every year. For me, it has to be my love for the paper. I am blaming the paper. SO, next year I’m only going to buy one planner and one journal-at least that’s what I keep telling myself. UGH!
I love all you’re videos on the planners setups and functionality because I can relate so much and also I get a lot of inspiration from you! ❤️ I could not make the weeks work for myself for a long time, but really wanted to. This year I set it up as my budget planner and I can not live without it! Monthlies for bills, weeklies for daily spending and paydays and the free page next to weekly I use for budgeting the week.
Becky, don’t be too hard on yourself for not using your planners, this was a way to find out what works and what doesn’t. This year, I bought 3 planners and instead of beating myself up about not using this one or that one, I am using one for a while then switch to using the other one. So, when I find that the weeks wasn’t doing it for me I switch over to the A5 hobonichi. I have been in the A5 for a couple months and I can feel I am getting bored so I will switch over to my day free hobo or back to my weeks. I am not wasting the planners I bought but I am also not getting bored. Hopefully you find planner peace ♥️
🍃🌷🍃I totally agree with you Becky. I had 3 planners last year and it was a nightmare😣. This year I only have 1 and it feels so much better🤗. I have added a diary but I only write in it when I feel like it. Have a safe day🍃🌷🍃
I've watched this video like 5 times in the last few days. The thing that keeps coming to mind is "there is a different between being overwhelmed in general and being overwhelmed with a specific aspect of life". For me the first requires a back to basics and the second may require an additional item. All this coming from someone with 8ish planners and journals....☺️😊 Still love watching all your videos and you made me want to try an a6, I use it for work and love it!!
Thank you for both this showing the status of your journals for both you and myself. I have a better idea now of what I want. Good to hear you journal already. Journal for good to clear your mind, let the thoughts flow from the head to your pen to paper.
After purchasing far too many planners that didn’t work out, I ended up planning out what I needed my planner to do just like you showed us. The end result is, I have only 1 planner but I have a journal too. The journal has a dot grid on one side and a planner page that I have customized for decoration purposes (so I still have something I can “play” in ). The planner is an a6 that I can carry with me and it doubles as a wallet so it will fit in a smaller purse. I carry very few things and using big purse just so I can drag around a planner doesn’t make sense.
Okay ladies this is awesome. I'm not the only one 🤣🤣🤣 I just did this a week ago. I had standard TN for art Journal, an A5 lecture lechturehm?? Spelling lol, for daily memory jotting. I have a hobboniche mega weeks for medical tracking of my MAS (multiple autoimmune syndrome). Then I have my passport TN for gratitude/quoates. Then a b6 stalogy for practicing lettering fonts. Then last but not least my diary/brain dump of emotional baggage lol. I think I have it down to three. 😁
I am using my TC Narrow Camel, which I got to combine three notebooks into one: my Hobonichi, my writing, my home are all in one notebook in the three TC inserts and it makes me feel so much better!
I love my cousin but I just found it wasn’t enough note space/pages for me. I’ve switched back to EC. I’ve got a daily duo and a notebook along with their petite monthly for finances. I, like you, was losing track of when my car tags, insurance, etc. was due. I was getting really frustrated and worried that if something happened to me (life is fickle, right?!) my husband wouldn’t know what was due or when. I’ve enjoyed the move and the structure. I’ve saved my decorating and stickers for mostly my journal and notebook. It’s what is working for me today. Who knows what tomorrow holds? 😆
I've gone from four planners to two and I like it so much better. I really would prefer everything in one book. My Hobonichi Cousin is my planner and journal. I have a B6 Wonderland 222 for a medical/reference notebook because I care for someone who has a chronic health condition and I need to keep that separate. I am SO guilty of seeing somebody on UA-cam and thinking, "I need to try that notebook/planner!" Slowly but surely I'm getting over that.
These planners seem to be more hinderance than help. Do you REALLY have THAT much going on in your life that you need a planner for every task, every second of you life, every tiny thing? Tedious, boring and tiring process. People really need the KISS system, Keep It Simple Sister. I know I keep just a daily journal and a simple journal for paying bills at the beginning of each month, sometimes just keeping a daily log is enough. I can't imagine having multiple planners. WAY too much time wasted. Just be simple. JMO!
Oh nice I love ur plans for ur planners lol..
Specifically GTD method in the weeks

You have a wonder way of planning, Becky. It's will lighten the process and tasks done daily. Remember to rest, your me time. 💖😍
Right now I'm in 4 planners and I am definitely considering cutting down in 2023.

How do you use migrate forward/migrate back keys?

I think I have it down to three. 😁
I’m completely confused about what your using for what but if makes you happy then that’s all that matters.😊.

I have so many and now I'm thinking about a big change
I've gone from four planners to two and I like it so much better. I really would prefer everything in one book. My Hobonichi Cousin is my planner and journal.

What size cover on your weeks? What color? Leather?

That’s def why I slimmed it down.
Do you sell any planers
Not my planners as I have always used them in some way.
@@Whoopsididitagainco oh ok , I always watch your videos and I'am obsessed with your work . Have a beautiful weekend
