    I think I would use this for a health planner: breakfast, lunch, dinner, exercise, wellness, and so on! Thanks! I was wondering what to do with this type of planner.

  • @LeighAnnH
    @LeighAnnH 3 роки тому +6

    I’ve been using the top three rows for Morning, Afternoon, and Evening, fourth row for things to do that day, then I put a piece of washi tape to section off the bottom three rows. I use that for things that aren’t constrained to a particular day - lists of things to do that week, errands, more decor, journaling, etc. That’s working out pretty well for me. Except that I don’t put usually need to put anything work related in the planner (all my work planning is digital) so the first two rows are often blank unless I happen to be off for an appt or something. I’m going to add some stickers there to break it up some.

    • @toriw7812
      @toriw7812 3 роки тому

      I love this idea! Like, keep the top couple rows for daily and then the bottom for weekly goals/tasks. Now I know what to do with this planner!

    • @LeighAnnH
      @LeighAnnH 3 роки тому

      @@toriw7812 Happy to help! I love seeing everyone's planners that have the random stickers all over the spread, they are so beautiful, but in practice for me I find that I have to keep things more predictable in my planner, so I've stayed with this method for a while. Maybe a bit of adhd, I don't know. It's interesting seeing what works for everyone, we are all so different.

  • @andreaweavercoleman3890

    I wanted the girl with goals planner, but didn't get it because of this layout. But after watching this, I could have used the top 3 rows for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Then used a row for water, a row for vitamins, and workouts. And the last for self-care.

  • @TT-de7wb
    @TT-de7wb 2 роки тому

    Thank you!!! This kind has always stumped me! I like both of the options - this type of system can help me go from two planners to tracking everything in one planner!

      I had one and never used it to its full potential, so I have tons of unused pages that I sometimes frankenplan. This video gave me some new ideas.

      I just got the Disney princess planner and it is colorblock. So I am learning. I have setup my week as kind of a hybrid of her two options here.

  • @andavis03285
    @andavis03285 3 роки тому +5

    Being that this was my first planner and I bought it last fall, I would separate it by: Appointments, To Do, School (when my son was at home; I used 2 blocks), Work, and Meal plans. Now, I just plan, mostly keeping meetings & appointments in the top block, everything else goes below the 1st block, and meal plans in the last block. Sometimes, I use washi or other stickers to create separation.

    I bought for real estate but wasn't sure how I was gonna use it. Thanks for this video. Now that I have watched it I will use it for keeping track of real estate related tasks (calls, cards, contracts, showings, etc).

    My first HP was, unknowingly, the color block layout! It was an 18 month planner, and I stuck with it all 18 months, and that was HARD! I just pretended it was a regular vertical planner, like you did in the first option! 💛

    So glad you posted this! I've been looking for ideas. I'm thinking about using it for my personal goals planning, so faith, health, finances, relationships, professional development and personal development each getting a row so I can plan out how I'm meeting those goals instead of just hoping I actually do the thing!

    It’s a great wellness planner to track wellness like weight, water intake, sleep, etc. ChappyPlans on UA-cam does this often with this layout.

  • @meganlawson4737
    @meganlawson4737 3 роки тому

    If I were going to use this layout I would use it for each child (we have 4 kids 😁), a row for myself (like appts), homeschool events, and then meals for each day. I love my classic where I can still make it pretty and functional but I can see how this type of layout might be a little more difficult to decorate. For now, I love having a planner for each area of my life. One faith planner, one for homeschooling, and one for everyday life 😊💛

  • @jennifergreen8024
    @jennifergreen8024 3 роки тому +1

    My first thought was for each line to be a block of time. Maybe because it was originally a student planner? Very good for a person who is super busy and needs to keep track of where they are and what they are doing each day. #kellofafan

  • @Versiongurl

    I would still use 2 blocks for one thing. So a pink and white box for something like home or work.

  • @daribrittenum8064
    @daribrittenum8064 2 роки тому

    I see you use the student stickers in the color block planner but do you have any stickers that is geared for school event the kids are active in. Like the different types of sports, drama, music, games, field trips, no school, staff development, and other things related to school activities.

    @rebeccaramos3246 3 роки тому +1

    I just bought my first planner ever and it was a color block happy planner. I looked through every planner in the store and chose this planner because I want to keep my different responsibilities in the separate areas. I work as a secretary, I am pregnant with baby #5, with 3 busy teenagers in the mix AND want to be very intentional about meal planning. So MAYBE i got in over my head with the color block?? I honestly have watched tons and tons of planner videos, got my planner and now I keep sitting down with it and doing nothing because Im so overwhelemed :(

    @amandabyrd9349 3 роки тому

    I feel like the color block isn’t that different from decorating the hourly. I largely leave my field undecorated and place stickers as I go. Margins get the bulk of the deco first, then standard/known events. Thanks for this series!

    @mizzmeplans 3 роки тому

    You could break them up into 2 lines each topic - for urgent and needed ie. morning, noon, night or divide into kids and they each have 2 lines - school and home. Then the last row for self care or faith or extra's you may want to complete during the day
