![]() ![]() But I didn't want the layout that that planner had. I wanted simple and minimal but with the dark aesthetic. ![]() The bright and cheery colors didn't appeal to me. And to effectively write on the right side pages - I'd have to pull the pages out And the planner was too big for me to put in my purse (and I carry a very large purse). Keeping track of 3 month spreads - then their individual sections was just tiring. It didn't jive how I like to budget my income or track my bills. And while I take notes - I take a lot of handwritten notes during the workday - that my cheap college-ruled notebooks I buy in bulk work very well for random scribbles - not super pricy planners or notebooks.ĭuring the last two weeks of 2020 I barely touched it. And on any given day - they're reschedule and shuffled around so often I'd spend loads of time just making sure my paper planner was updated. So writing down meetings is pointless because that's what Outlook is for. My meeting schedule at work changes too often - and I'm salaried and work from home these days. And then they had their budget or other planners. Have the vertical for their appointments and days and such. And I saw people have these frankenplanners where they used the Monthly Layout for the ToDo list. I figured I could combine my Budget by Paycheck with that and be even more organized. I had found their Budget planner with the clever cover "GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUND$" and I purchased it. And I just couldn't get behind that aesthetic. I tried printing things out and combining it with the existing planner but the fact that the pages are printed on both sides that you have to be ok with having random pages that don't make sense in a planner unless you cover them up with something. Canva has been a fun thing to dabble with but it seems that any good program costs a lot of money and there are a lot of free and low-cost printables out there. I tried creating my own layouts and researched how people made their own printables. (I would eventually discover that there were many different size options - and the one I got was the Classic sized). It was larger than my Clever Fox planner but smaller than the binder I had my Budget By Paycheck workbook in. The aesthetic were these dark flowers with an inspiring "GOOD THINGS ARE COMING" emblazoned across the cover. I went to Hobby Lobby and discovered this entire section dedicated to planning. I had the brilliant idea that unlike my Clever Fox Planner - I could easily combine it with my Budget by Paycheck printouts. The disc bound system seemed full of limitless options. I don't remember where I first heard about them. Then I heard about something called The Happy Planner. So I bought the A5 version and used that from January 2020-September 2020. However, that was just a bit too big and bulky for me to tote around everyday. ![]() I started out with the Pro version that was full-size a couple years ago. I had been using a Clever Fox planner for awhile. This is my adventures with trying to plan and become more organized and creative. ![]()
