I'd rather have all of what I write down in ONE planner than the calendar thing AND ???? with planners. Thank you!

I used to have a small note pad that I kept next to my planner at home for notes and quick brain dumps and then I would process those notes into my planner at the end of the day (gtd) and it worked so well for me. I'm going back to that.

I have my daily pages too. But if I need a place to strategize, I keep a notes section as well. It's blank pages and every time I make a note, I do two things. I start the note with today's date. And I make a small entry on my daily page: grocery ads notated on notes 10/30/19. That way when I go to look for it I start on my daily page and can be directed to my notes section. Like Annie said there's not a note for every day, but it is in chronological order for easy access. For important notes like Southwest Airlines baggage rules... I notate the note + date on an index page. 💝☀🌵

I never thought planner would be something of cretivity nowdays. Well I always had a monthly calendar and jot everything (as you said and I found this video) jot everything down. I did everything was jot down on my monthly (I don't even know how I got stuff in it). Well I also did journaling so most of my more detailed was probably in them. Than I got into BOJO (I never even knew that even existed), bullet journing. I always put things down on paper, I still do to this day. I use post it notes, note paper to put things down and stuck it on that month/or day. I useto have a desk calendar with all appt. goes on it. I do daily, weekly, journal, I think I do everything in my planner/journal. The only thing is I don't do much decorating (most of my planning style is functional). I do small kind sticker for special occasions but not over do it. Writing everthing down is a good thing. That's how I function anyhow and I guess I'm not the only one who does it.

I needed some basics like this. I am just thinking about starting a planner as I have a KZfaq channel too and need somewhere to put all my ideas down for videos in one section, what I all want to talk about in another section, as well as what videos to record on each Saturday/Sunday. Currently I just have a notebook which I divided in half but I wanted to incorporate the rest of my daily life into some semblance of order and thought a planner would fit the bill. But I really have no idea how to really use one regarding daily vs weekly vs monthly. Do we just “move” things from one area to another? Still really confused on the whole idea, as you can tell. LOL.
