I spent January setting up my planners evaluating routines, and testing inserts. I always feel like January is my reset month as I’m learning how to best use it to accomplish my goals and support my routines and habits. January is like warming up the car before I pull off 😂
I truly appreciate your honesty & transparency in the fact that you didn't really get to fill out certain sections but that's okay and you don't give yourself a hard time about it because next month is a new month🥰💯
Alaina- I loved this video! You come across as so organized online, and showing that you weren’t able to get it all done and that you have goals for doing better next week, next month, is awesome! Thank you for your honesty and help. I am not an organized person by nature, but you have some really great ideas that I am going to be incorporating into my days so I can help myself and my kids not be always running behind.
I am glad you showed some sections not complete because that does happen. January I spent time combing planners into one to work best for me and I feel well organized now for the months ahead.
Last year I had a few planners that went unused many weeks, so thanks for sharing that and normalizing it! This month I did better, but still didn't do "my best" as I was still getting used to where and how I wanted to put certain information and track certain things.
I really appreciate your candor! I did well recording my exercise this month, but fell off everywhere else! Do you have a health planner? I think I need to start symptom tracking!
Thank You for this video with your transparency and honesty! I also struggled using my planner this month. I was feeling discouraged until watching your video! I needed the reminders of starting over next month and to give myself grace. 💛❤
I feel like January was a month of recovery for most of us. I took a break from detailed planning and only did the bare minimum. January is a month for me to reset, refocus, organize, and prioritize self-care. I have also started using a digital planner system more often instead of relying on paper; we will see how long that lasts. With Grace on our side, we can start fresh if Feb.
Thank you so much for showing where you didn't keep up on your planners. It helps a ton with me not being too hard on myself for those life phases that get super busy. It's surprisingly hard to find ANY time to write in a planner sometimes!
Was not as consistent with my planner as I had hoped to be for January. But as it is the summer holidays where we are and so school and volunteer activities we are involved in have not started , there was not much to put in. February I am going to do better
I really like that you show what you didn't get done, and that it's ok not to get it all done! I've done quite a lot in January but it has also left me feeling exhausted! I'd love to see a video on how we could set up a self care planner
Thank you for being a REAL person 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I did well with my planner overall for January, but I haven’t even started filling in my TOM Budget planner 😞 This is my goal for the weekend.

I agree with this! My planners almost feel like R&D (research and development) planners!
Same!
Such a smart idea, I’m settling into my planners too
@@jen-x-erplansstuff5407exactly!! R&D is the perfect analogy!
I fell off the planning wagon a few weeks myself. But it's time to try again. Giving myself grace as I develop new routines and schedule.
I truly appreciate your honesty & transparency in the fact that you didn't really get to fill out certain sections but that's okay and you don't give yourself a hard time about it because next month is a new month🥰💯
@StevieBowers91 - You said exactly how I feel. I appreciate that she leads by example and shows us how to show ourselves grace.
Omg , I'm glad you post this because I have been beating myself up because I have not completed everything this month
Life happens
So we thank God for the chance to start over.
Great video!

Honestly, I still think you used your planner a lot this month! It is looking great 😁

Great video, Alaina! It helps to know that even the experts don’t get it done sometimes. Many blessings.
I really appreciate your candor!

Thank you for the helpful honest video!! I enjoyed seeing the stickers in your work planner!!

Whatever you do Alaina is amazing, you're so creative ✨️ ❤
Hi Alaina. Do you have a monthly overview sheet available for download on Etsy?
This month was not all that great for my planner. I will have to do better next month.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL OVER THE PLACE! God is so faithful and gracious. looking FORWARD.

Hey There ~ Not as effective or efficient as I needed to be😢
Thank you for being a REAL person 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I did well with my planner overall for January, but I haven’t even started filling in my TOM Budget planner 😞 This is my goal for the weekend.
Thank you for showing that even someone who is organised for a living sometimes can't keep up! I appreciate you showing this
Wow thank you so much! This helped me organize and prioritize using my planner
