WHY....WHY didn't I think to just combine them? (Shaking my head) This makes so much sense!!! I love your channel. (and your budget planner. This was the key to finally getting my finances in order) I look forward to the rest of this series. I am finding tip after tip that I hadn't thought about.

You mentioned that you have 7 areas in your life that you plan for (e.g. budget, faith, personal etc.). I have observed that you transfer in one catch all binder, does this mean you have 7 separate planners and you just combine month by month to make it a catch all planner?

    Are you no longer "themeing" (if that's spelled correctly) your days? I think that was something I was looking to incorporate as I am trying to become more organized. I know in another video you helped me realize that I have really long lists but I don't get through all of it. I am now going to try time blocking. I noticed with the changes in layout you don't "theme" anymore.
