    Hi Stephanie,
    I must say that your video left me speachless as I would never have time to build such an elaborate and great system.
    All your sections with subtile decoration and with practicality are quite amazing. My main struggle being time (I am a MD), I regularly watch your videos for my own pleasure, knowing full well that I will never be able to reach such an amazing result.
    Congratulations 🎉

    • @squairdplans
      @squairdplans  Рік тому +13

      Hi Frédérique! If I was a MD, I would NOT have the time for planning that I do, so give yourself some grace. Remember you don’t have to do all things. You can still have a cute and organized planner with a lot less in it. My planner sometimes feels overwhelming even to me, so take what parts work with your life and schedule and leave the rest. Hope that helps. Happy planning! ☺️

    • @squairdplans
      @squairdplans  9 місяців тому +3

      😆 I have my “adulting” moments but usually I am just working things out, as well. 😜 As for my EDC, I don’t have more than a glorified notebook, where I put shopping lists or errands to run. When I used to commute to work, I’d bring my HP classic planner with me everyday. I need everything together in one planner. That is just how I function best. Plus I hate writing things multiple times…I am not a big fan of redundancy. 😅

    What an amazing system, and a great video that gets straight to the point. I was all ready to skip the 2-10 minute intro but it was like 20 seconds. 😆 It's just like your system, efficient and organized. My life is relatively simple so I can get away with two A5 weekly Legend Planners for faith and everything else. They come with great yearly/quarterly/monthly/weekly goal planning and review sections, and notes pages at the back for reference items. I add repositionable tabs to flip to the active spreads and I'm good to go. Maybe there's a journal case that could fit both of them but I mostly use them around the house so it's fine that they're separate. I have their wellness planner too but don't use it all the time. I also carry a pocket notebook to brain dump throughout the day and then process that in the evening to wrap up the day. Works for me, but your mega happy whole life planner is a thing of beauty!

      It’s very bright and thick enough for double sided printing, however any 100-120gsm paper should work just fine. Hope this helps!

The words plan and Mass put together don't make any sense. I couldn't get pas this confusing phrase to be able to focus on the rest of what your were saying.
