"Planning should reduce stress, not induce it" and "Empty days ≠ Wasted days". Loved these!

@susannek4546 2 ай бұрын

I agree 100 % on either staying off social media or very carefully curating your feed. I only follow a few planner vloggers now that I trust to give unbiased reviews. My current expensive planner was on sale and it started falling apart on me recently (like literally last night) so I went and got a ring binder from Hobby Lobby on sale this morning, and I am going to take the rest of it off the binding, and then trim and hole punch it because I love the layout still. Crossing fingers this works enough to get me through December.

I started out in a daily this year, but was feeling overwhelmed by all the space. I gave myself permission to order a weekly to switch over to. I try to really pay attention to what was and wasn't working about each planner I use. Over time, I have come up with my NEED list so I can easily rule out planners. I need a Monday start month, thick paper, coil, and dated. My need list cuts out a lot of FOMO because I know a planner won't work for me if it doesn't have all of my need items.

@AmandasFavorites 2 ай бұрын

That "need" list is so important! Great tip:)

@vickiec181 2 ай бұрын

Muting social media accounts that tend to give me a feeling of FOMO and following unbiased reviews (like you) have been extremely helpful. I like the tips about using a notebook or editing my current planner.

When I found myself in a really busy season of life with a 15 year old in university and my other son leaving on a mission, I really allowed myself to live in the moment and gave myself some grace. Then when things calmed down, I went back and wrote down all the things I had done on those days. I even added photos if I had them. No stress and no blank pages; just memories 🥰

Very good advice! I love it;)

@anne-mari7711 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for this I loved it! My go to solution when my planner "not seem to be enough" is taking an A4 paper and folding it once. I stick it in the current spread and use it for whatever needed. I solve many problems with sticky notes. Thank you for always keeping realistic wirh your feet on the ground! ❤

This was so timely!! I always have the urge to switch when I'm very stressed. I had to tell myself to breathe and give myself time to get used to my newer planners. Constantly transferring info over and over is a good deterrent too 😂 I also never toss my unfinished planners. I go back to them when I just need something different for a while.

@AmandasFavorites 2 ай бұрын

You are smart to keep those old planners! And so true about having the urge to switch when stressed or with a newer planner!

@liliana1lfr 2 ай бұрын

You ALWAYS have such good advice! I totally agree with staying away from social media, I don't need to be "influenced" by a dozen different kinds of planners. I think I know which manufacturers I like by now! And experts as well. 🤓 🖊 📒

Thank you so much for this video, Amanda! It couldn't have come at a better time for me. I have really been struggling with staying committed to my planners lately. I've bought so many new ones, but I still have planners that are perfectly good and will last until the end of the year. It's been a stressful year, and I think I keep buying planners because I'm looking for that perfect system to relieve my stress- and they're all so pretty! I feel guilty because I have too many in my stash, so I switch back and forth between them constantly. I think I need to give myself permission to destash and let go of the guilt. Thanks for some awesome tips. 😊

@patriciamcelroy3581 2 ай бұрын

I’m in the process of destashing planners and supplies (already tackled stickers and pens) and it was like a huge weight was lifted and I feel in control instead of my stuff controlling me.

@HoneyBee-pc3xi 2 ай бұрын

I am using one of unused planners as a recipe book. Seasonally: soups in September, Chili and stews in October, salads in summer, curries in November etc. On the notes pages I put notes on nutrition and health or food sources. Since it's a spiral bound planner it can be folded over to show the recipe I'm preparing. Some sections are for diy mixes, sauces, and salsas. I can add washi to make the pages attractive. A section for favourites for each season.

This video was so helpful and at the perfect time. I have been frozen over which of my multiple weekly planners to use for June and have just been using my daily for the things I need to do each day. I am shopping my stash, but I think the most helpful tip for me was to stay off social media or at least mute those accounts that tempt me to buy one more planner to try out. I am going to set a budget for 2025 too.

Great video Amanda! This was the first year year I spent $$ on a planner so I've viewed this experience as a way to really find out what I want/need in my planner. And your tip to draw lines and markup the planner to make it work was super helpful when i was feeling stuck on my planner. For me, I've just decided to get through the year and observe what works and doesn't and I definitely have my ideas about what I will be using next year as I only allow myself one main planner and one wellness planner at a time. ❤

I used dot grid composition notebooks and box grid before that. For a couple dollars, I could draw my layouts I needed in about an hour a month and not have to worry about cost. I bought my happy planners on clearance for about $3, and just redate the weeks. Then I started printing out the layouts I found better for my current needs, punch the mushroom holes for the discs and use the discs and tab dividers over and over. I had several years where I could even fit multiple years (3 was my max) in the same composition notebook. (My adhd needs more space now so 1 is my limit.) I even used left over pages to test layouts before putting them into my current setups so I had a fall back if the test layouts didn't function for me.

Honestly im really bsd at sticking to one planner. I only have 1 catch all planner but ive been through 4 planners this year. I alway try to give a planner 3 months before giving up but bot always. I research alpt before committing to a purchase and will sowmtimes go back into a planner ive already got. Im getting better and already started researching for next year. I set my budget and decided to get only 1 planner for home and a bullet journal/notebook hybrid for work.

How can we use the hourly planner to create to do lists in the block of time one is working?

@AmandasFavorites 2 ай бұрын

I am not sure I understand your question....Could you clarify please;) I would just write the to do items around the time that you plan on working on them...just in the general timed area. You could also draw out time blocks- like morning, afternoon, evening...and just listing tasks in those blocks that you plan to do in that set of hours;) Hope that helps.
