Getting Out of a Planner Rut

For the longest time, I feel like I’ve been stuck in a planner rut. How can I be that serious about pen and paper? For me, it’s more than that. It’s all about finding some solace in my day to day. My mind is all over the place when I don’t have my thoughts on paper. I may be a millennial, but for me, there’s nothing like a blank piece of paper and my favorite pen. To get out of this planner rut, I would need to implement a system that would become a central location for all things me.

Bullet Journal Plan With Me | Basic Spread

I have used a variety of planner systems, but I have truly found one that I love. Depending on what your life and day to day is like will affect what kind of planner you use. I share systems that I truly believe work and the bullet journal is the “it” for me at the moment. So, like any other planner I’ve used, I have to share how I set up a week in my current system.

Bullet Journal Decorate With Me | Football Schedule

Every year I love to create a schedule for my planner specifically for my teams football schedule. Newsflash, to any new readers out there, I am a die hard Steelers fan and have been since 2005. That probably doesn’t matter to many, but hell, it does to me. So, here’s another idea for creating a sports schedule in your planner. This would work best for an NFL or college schedule for that matter. As for other sports with lengthier games, you’d have to adjust accordingly.

New Mini Happy Planner

I’m back on the Happy Planner bandwagon. I haven’t used on in over a year, although I’ve been inspired by the various ways they’re being used in the planner community. I used a classic size when I was using it daily. I have a BIG Happy Planner for memory planning. All I was missing was a mini HP. So, when I found one on sale at Tuesday Morning, I couldn’t pass it up.

Tracking my Anxiety and Migraines

May is Mental Health Awareness month so what better time than now than to share how I track my anxiety. There are many different ways that people do it. For me, I’ve begun tracking it on pen and paper in my planner. It’s been working thus far and I’ve been able to pinpoint when it happens and really monitor it as best I can.

Planning In My Ring Planner

Cheers to another blog post. I’ve finally figured out a schedule. I will have a planner related post to share with you all every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Of course I’ll have other post sprinkled in here and there, especially my Sound Off series. I hope you all stay tuned and if you have any particular requests, just leave a comment.

I previously shared a flip through of my ring planner and I wanted to share how I plan. This is not like my Happy Planner in which I had an overload of stickers. This is a bit more simple with decorative touches.

2018 Planner Lineup

Let the planning commence! I am officially back on my game (after a depressing loss for my Steelers). Well, I haven’t stopped planning, but I haven’t been sharing much on the blog since my Christmas set up in my traveler’s notebook. We’re halfway through January so what better time to share my planning systems for 2018. 2017 I had a lot of planners that I was planning to use, but ultimately I didn’t end the year with any of them. I feel like I’ve finally found planner peace with my current planner. Enough rambling, let’s get to it.
