    I legitimately don't know how I could live my life without all of my calendars (also, why is it so entertaining to see how other people organize their lives too?! I could literally watch videos like this for hours on end!!!)

    • @MollieReads

      Oh my gosh, I know!! I think it's so interesting to watch how other people organize TOO! How are you doing girl!?

      It's so silly, because I've jumped on the bandwagon of watching people make their bullet journals and create capsule wardrobes, but my own house/life is a mess hahaha!! And I'm doing good, work has been INSANE these last couple months and is just now settling down, so I feel like I'm catching up on some me time finally :)

    I have always been a firm believe in the calendar. I also mix my personal and professional. It is great to have everything in one place.

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      YES! I mix my personal and professional, too, but some people HATE that. I'm the same way though; I love having everything together.

    I'm feeling so inspired to be more organized! I'm not usually so busy (to justify a planner) but I think being more organized could definitely help me be more productive and get more out of my day and that would be amazing.
    Your paper planner is so gorgeous! I love Rifle Paper Company.

    • @MollieReads

      Yay! I'm glad it was inspiring for you!! Ahh, I love Rifle, too. I could buy all of their products! xx

    Okay umm this was so helpful!!! In my Booktube newbie tag I literally said my biggest challenge in starting a channel is staying organized. I love the planner you have and how it lets you make lists...that is so perfect. My planner lists everything by time and I always end up scratching those out and using it as a list instead.

    Loved this. I am still a pen and paper girl. I just haven't connected digitally. I often feel that just the act of writing things down helps me remember better. I also love crossing off tasks once I've completed them.

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      Totally get it!! I'm the same way; that's why I don't think I could ever fully get rid of my paper planner! :)

    • @BooksAndJams

      I guess I'm meant to think about journaling/planning today. I just watched a video from Ariel Bisset where she talks about micro-journaling using her calendar. In my planner I really only use the monthly view right now and the weekly view pages just sit blank. I got the idea from her to start using those pages as mini-journaling/moments to remember/things I did that day notes. I am excited about trying that out since I like the idea of journaling but not the idea of writing a lot! haha.

      BooksAndJams I just watched it myself and LOVED it! Brilliant idea!

    This is so awesome Mollie! I've been holding off going digital for so long but between all of my jobs and school and other obligations it just makes sense to use a digital calendar. Thank you so much for showing us it was super helpful!

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      That was EXACTLY how I was! I hope you love it. Thanks for the kind words!!

    I have started using my calendar on my phone for events so I don't forget and it's super handy.

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      I wish I utilized my calendar on my phone more than I currently do. I love that though! It's so handy! :)

    Thanks for sharing! I know schedules can be tricky to juggle with a partner/spouse. I use Google Calendar and then an Erin Condren planner. I tried a work planner and home planner but I was re-writing stuff way too often. I love keep track of work projects and events on my monthly calendar, then having space for my weekly/daily tasks.

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      Yes! I haven't heard of Erin Condren's planner! I'll have to check it out! xx

    Thanks for sharing the Google Calendar. use mine but didn't know it would make lists that way! The 1,3,5 method is also super helpful Thanks for sharing that too!

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      Oh my gosh, Merideth, I didn't know I could make lists on my Google Calendar either! It's much more functional now. :) And I love the 1, 3, 5 method! Glad you loved it too!

    • @MKReads
      @MKReads 7 років тому

      It's definitely helpful! It's been a huge help just for the day to day tasks! 😊

    I feel like I'm one of those who need a physical calendar to work with just because I love writing in my tasks. the Internet can always mess up and that makes me nervous lol but I feel like bullet journaling is such a great invention to organize things while being creative. will you be posting any bullet journal videos? :)

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому +2

      lol I totally get it! I love physically writing in tasks, too! I may eventually post a bullet journal video, but I don't really stick to it anymore. I want to pick it up again with my reading though. I had a reading-specific bullet journal that I loved! I just always forgot to update it haha!

    Such a well done and well thought-out video! Color coding is the best:)
    P.S. That blue nail polish is stunning!

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      Thanks girl! That's so sweet. :) And I loooove to color code (even my nails, haha, jk!).

    I really loved this video, Mollie!
    Rifle Paper Company as well - so pretty! Does your calendar have a specific name? I love the format that has a to do list for everyday.

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      Thank you Kristi! So sweet!! I actually tried to see if it has a name, but I think it's just the Rifle 2017 Planner!

    You know, I have google calendar, but I've never used it like this. I should start because I actually didn't know how functional it could be on a daily basis. I'm also so unorganized that my planners go unused so often. It's bad because I have a busy enough life that I *can't* keep track of it all in my head. Also that Rifle Paper Co journal!!!!
    Off to watch part 2!

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      That was me too! I didn't know how functional it was day-to-day, and now I'm obsessed! It's definitely tricky when you have a ton going on! THAT RIFLE JOURNAL

    I've been using ToDoist lately and love it. My new job is pretty task-heavy, so keeping up with that and all of my freelance & personal tasks can be a lot, but the way ToDoist allows me to focus on one day's tasks at a time and move things around so effortlessly is huge.

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      Very cool! I'll have to check out ToDoist; I've never heard of it! Thanks for the tip. :)

    I LOVE YOUR PLANNER!! but I'm in the uk and the shipping is pretty expensive :( a very helpful video, cant wait for the next one

    • @MollieReads
      @MollieReads  7 років тому

      Aw I hate that it's expensive for shipping. :( That's the worst. Hopefully you can find something more affordable that's even better! Thanks, girl! xx

    • @ATaleofTomes
      @ATaleofTomes 7 років тому

      Found one in urban outfitters which I absolutely love! The layout isn't as good as yours but it's the best I've found. I don't understand why shipping is soo expensive!xx
