This year I have have changed BIG time and am also using 3 planners. Thanks to YOU, I'm using the EC Deluxe Monthly and it's my go to for all my habit tracking (the back note pages is FULL of tabs and sections) and big events. I'm using a Classic Happy Planner with LightsPlannerActions inserts in it for my "fun....and I feel the need to decorate/stress relief". It has to do lists and is just pretty and IG worthy (that's a reason to have a planner, right?) and finally.....while I fell down the rabbit hole early in 2019 with the Hobonichi Weeks, I strayed away for a while, but NOW have found that is the perfect work planner....especially now that I work from home. 3 or 4 major to do items/meetings go in the daily sections and then the blank page is a place for weekly to do's, work habit tracking, etc. Suddenly....this Hobo is really fulfilling a purpose for me, and I love that's it compact so when I travel for work, it's easy to take along!
So for inquiring minds of the planner addict, what do you use for tracking finances? Both business and personal? Or maybe describe that a bit with Alex in a video! Like if you use a program/software, pen and paper, etc. Do you sit down as a couple to discuss monthly personal finances or does one take the lead and the other follow, do you assign yourselves spending money, have savings goals, etc. We don’t need numbers but sharing what’s working for you or not working would be helpful to others! Last year I used my B6 monthly from Oh Hello to write down how many hours I spent on which side hustle, yes I had 4, and how much I earned, expenses, etc. So now I have to just review 12 pages with yearly totals instead of scrambling everywhere like I did last year. I focused on upgrading some stuff last year and paying in cash, new car tires, new bed, new TV, etc. This year I incorporated a Happy Planner budget planner into my life to track personal expenses and spending as I want to put more focus on savings goals. I want to pay off my car by the end of the year, save for a new apartment, for an emergency fund, etc.
Just got my 1st Foxy weekly planner and can’t wait to try it. I’ve been bullet journaling for 4 years and this seems to offer chance for that with a bit extra x
I’m using a B6 Stalogy 365 as an all in one kind of BUJO. I fit 6 months at a time in my stalogy. I make monthly spreads and then have daily spreads where one side of the page is my schedule and the other side is my to do list. At the end of each month I leave pages for journaling. I also have BUJO pages at the front including several dedicated pages for a master to do list a lot like what your doing in the separate notebook. I just like it to be all in one book. It’s housed in one of your B6 TN’s. Thank you for including that full size back slip pocket as it’s perfect for these kinds of notebooks! I do also have an EC Deluxe Monthly that I use for budgeting.
I have somehow gotten away from the planner system that works for me (travelers notebooks) so my goal this weekend is to get it set up and start using it again. I live how you use your EC. It's like a planner Project Life .
I use an EC hourly, academic year, bc as a student it just makes the most sense with the way my brain tracks things. I've also added an EC petite daily bc I don't like to carry my ECLP around with me to class, it's too heavy. So I use the daily to really track my day every day and I use my ECLP for a weekly overview
Something that I really need, thanks! It's totally acceptable to have 3 planners because we all know a simple to-do-list is just as if we didn't have a to-do-list in the first place. Great contents ;)
Lol, I was just rationalizing today!!! I love knowing I’m not the only one. ❤️. On a sticky note until I deem it worthy, I love it!!!! You’re adorable.
i love the sarcasm inputs so funny ! I have switched up my entire planner game for 2020 *unintentionally i might add* I was using Happy planner for a while and I thought that I needed a specific planner for different areas of focus until I waited almost a full month to get my 2020 editions. I ended up switching over to EC hourly life planner and fell in love. I added the folio system with the budget kit, wellness and daily and I'm so happy i did that because it's totally working for me !
Everything you do makes sense to me which I guess means I am a planner addict now. Currently using a Happy Planner but am dying to get an Erin Condren Life planner (just to get away from the disks). I have a daily petite from her but I think it is too much and am wanting to get down to just one main planner with maybe a notebook for my purse to jot down grocery lists in.
I have a cheap dollar store planner to take in my purse and write down appointments when I make them and got an orange circle studio planner because of the habit tracking already on the weekly page, but I might need to add that running to do list notebook because the task box in this planner is not big enough.
Love this! I'm currently using an Erin Condren, but thinking of switching over to Day Designer just so I can block out my time more efficiently on paper (I use Google Calendar too as my master list for appointments). I also love the idea of having a book for to-do items as kind of a brain dump. I have a virtual master to do list electronically, but you had me second guessing it with the pretty colours lol!
Need to add play video games all day on to the list and the 2nd ribbon shall stay on the old to do list item page until it is complete! And then it should be added onto the current page coz playing video games is as important as doing laundry! lol
I have 3 planners - a B6 TN has been added to my ECV and my bullet journal. I’m not happy with the new EC at all so I’m leaning away from that and hardly using it at all.
I realized this was from 4 years ago, but just wanted to say I like the tangents! Rationalizing a planner as a notebook is something I just did too.
You’re always changing the systems, cuz it gives you insight into the things others enjoy too and what you can sell to make our systems better!
I love your style and instantly had to subscribe (which doesn’t mean I’m procrastinating, it does not. Really.).
Love the idea of "master to do list" book! TFS!
Definitely not just you with covers. You are not alone!

You’re adorable! I have three planners as well, sis, don’t even trip chocolate chip.

I love the cover of your deluxe monthly. Your to do list planner is so pretty with all the mildliner cross offs.

I definitely changed things up already this year but I’m having fun with it and feeling no guilt about trying all the things 🤣

Do you keep both professional and personal tasks on the same Master to do list? I’m wondering if I should create one for home and one for work?

Do you keep your to do list notebook?
Rationalizing our planner addiction
You crack me up. ❤️❤️❤️. You sound like me!!!!
I TECHNICALLY have 6 planners plus one small notebook. So 7. Altogether. Yeah.
