Hi! Just came across your video, just wanted to say that I AM SO GLAD YOU MADE THIS! I've been trying to make Notion work for me and I've realised that it's honestly too much hassle and like you said if I can't physically see it then it doesn't feel like it's there. So now I only use Notion to track my studies and am finally using my Notebooks and other resources properly. I thought that if I tried hard enough then Notion would work for me but now I realise that by sticking with my gut and in turn paper I've never felt more productive! Thanks for this video for making me feel seen.

Yes! I use a discbound system and keep it all in one planner but different sections. I have to write it down or I’ll forget!

Happy Planners and arc planners are my favs cuz you can rearrange the pages/replenish them with new pages.

I like your way of planning. The only issue that I have is that it is a lot of notebooks. I just purchased a Erin Condren A5 ring planner and I got the budgeting and project inserts as well. I feel like it does everything you are describing, but in one place and I find it to be small enough that I can carry it with me. I also created my own inserts for the important things in my life like routines and my running. I also have an inbox where I write down things that I need to do. I like your system a lot, but as someone who gets distracted easily I find the many notebooks difficult to keep track of and use

I like to use Traveler’s Notebooks so that I can have multiple inserts with their own purpose inside a single book.

I’m thinking about reducing my notion to just goals, goal updates, maybe reflections and general notes. But then use a paper planner for monthly and weekly and daily planning

I love this video! I’m a small biz owned with ADHD…physical planners are a must

Thanks for sharing. I'm in my early 50s and the last few years (as technology has progressed) I've been grappling with my planning system. I must have some form of paper planner for sure but I've definitely gone down the rabbit hole of digital products, I've tried Notion, all of the apps, etc. The ones I do like are Google Keep, Google Calendar, Any Do, and Day One Journal app. However, after watching this, and so I stop running in circles (I've changed my planning system at least 6 times since January), I plan to return to using mostly notebooks and planners (because I love a calendar). And back in the day, I also used mostly colored notebooks so I'm definitely going to explore that again. Thanks again for all of the great ideas.

Happy planner, half sized CLASSIC size ❤ fits in all my purses and I fold over standard CLASSIC sized paper to hide private information.❤split into sections for work, checklists, brainstorming, prioritizing, monthly overview, medical, finances. Discs let me add or subtract after there is a change but I have everything I would forget.

This video is awesome!! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, I gotta look into traditional planners!

That’s awesome! Fellow ADHD-er here! I use happy planner and bullet journals for mine and am obsessed

Ahhhh I’ve never resonated with a planning video more than I have now. Notion doesn’t work for me either! I also love keeping different A6 sized notebooks for different things and the sticky notes? Chef’s kiss 😂 For my monthly spread though, I still use google calendar just so my bills and birthdays are recurring. Easy for me to also add quick events as needed and have them as a widget on my homescreen. For the day to day, nothing beats pen and paper. Totally agree. Thanks so much for sharing your system!

Notion too complicated 😂😂😂 I put all of my todo, checklist, reminders, everything on paper. Using different planners can be exhausting too. I keep small Japanese version of Franklin Planner then realised that I can not put everything there. So I tried Hobonichi, Jibun Techo, Happy Planner, Flying Tiger Planner, Kikki, Kakeibo for Finance, and some digital planners 😂😂😂. Finally I am using Franklin Planner Japanese for reminder and todo, Filofax Pocket for notes, reading summary, and Filofax A5 for social media planner. You are right, and thanks for sharing

I love how you made this video. I’m thrilled to be one of your first 300 subscribers and I can follow you while you’re creating videos for thousands of people ❤ Good luck 🤞

i will try this 📒 ✏️ so simple, thanks for sharing great idea

Esse vídeo foi incrível! Muito obrigada por compartilhar sua experiência. Estou próxima de realizar uma prova importante pra minha carreira e estou muito ansiosa e desorganizada. Me dá a sensação que estou falhando, mas sei que só preciso das ferramentas corretas. Um beijo! Vou adaptar algumas dicas suas

Just came across this video and i love it! Love your content, Kat! New subbie here 🤗

You described me, perfectly.

I feel this so much. I've tried going digital many times yet always find myself returning to analog formats. Truly is such an ADHD problem, if I don't see it, I don't remember/think about it. I carry at least 1 notebook with me at all times, even from room to room in the house.

Hi! Thanks for the insight. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I’m struggling a little bit with how to cope. May I ask where you got the first monthly layout planner? I think something simple like this is what I need to get started.

I VERY recently came to the conclusion that i need monthly and daily views for my planning system😄 Weekly is somehow both too long and too short of a timeline. For my daily to-dos i just use the 97 cent pen and gear pocket notebook (monthly items are still in the monthly/weekly planner i bought at the beginning of the year).

I just come across your channel i love your planning system. Im stuggling with my planning system

❤❤ thanks for posting. It rewlltnspoke to me when you said you buy a bunch and never use them. Me too! How'd you ger your system to become a habit?

Amazing video

Have you tried a Bullet journal to help keep things in organized in one journal?

❤❤❤❤

You mentioned that you don't use budget templates and went on to mention digital budget templates only... have you checked other types of budget templates? There are paper kinds you know, like the budget mom!!!!

4:45 hahahaha 😝😝

i have adhd and i have been trying to find a system that works! i also love writing stuff down so i will definitely give this a try! thanks for making this video!🫶🏻🫶🏻
