This planner is my new system. Just this, everything in one. Including stickers or deco. I had been using an Erin condren vertical every year since 2015. This is just PERFECT for me. And I actually love the chunkiness and the fact that it is falling apart a little. Makes me feel like it is being USED. I AM looking forward to the sturdier cover though.

I had no idea why I could never Bullet Joournal "correctly" until I got my OCD diagnosis, so thank you for this inspiring video.

I just love the way you talk through everything and so in depth. A new found love for you. Your penmanship and creativity in your planner is great. I would love to see how your process is.

Really love how you set up some of your pages. I've been struggling with the vertical layout for the weekly pages in my Hobonichi but your flip-through is giving me sooooo much inspiration!!

I always love seeing your pages!! I’ve started using one washi per week after seeing you do it last year and I love how it makes the week come together. 🥰 Also, I’ll remember when we have 2024 planner chats: no full-year systems for Lauren!! 😆😂

This video is so soo helpful! I recently found out I have OCD and it really explains a lot of things, but I have definitely been struggling to find a planning system that works for me and also doesn't trigger any of my ocd behaviors. Thanks for sharing your planner :D

❤❤❤ Love!!! I use my common planner the same ways as you. I am feeling likes of inspiration from your dailies! Thank you for sharing.

as always, such a lovely flip through!! thank you so much for sharing, it’s so nice to see how your planning and deco change from week to week and i always appreciate reading the quotes and hearing your book recommendations! 💫💛✨

I’ve also learned the full year lesson this year. I’m not in CP because I can’t do B6 but I’m very excited for a two book A5 system when she drops the 2024 sizes because I think I’ll be able to journal in the back pages and only carry one book instead of one planner and one journal.

I took a course and one thing always stuck with me, because i suffer from OCD & ADD, but it was that if i was too "rigid" about my routine, and things werent done perfectly within that time or something popped up and because i didnt "schedule" or allow for that interruption, then I would become overwhelmed and and frustrated and would give up with the whole routine because it wasnt "perfect" to my standards. Realizing that about myself had been monumental... So few people understand what it is to live with our brain and just how tough it is to be productive because of this (at least in my case it is). Its nice to come across a channel that understands what its like to live with this and function everyday! I am using a cousin (for self care/trackers/daily journal) for the first time this year and the Wonderland222 for my catchall so it's nice to see your layouts. They are the PERFECT combination of decorative and functional which is what i need for my ADD and it soothes my OCD so its literally perfection to me! Excited to see more ❤ you inspire me!

Loving seeing how you make cousin stickers work! I originally bought a bunch of cousin sticker kits and then Catherine came out with her planner and I jumped ship on cousin. Can’t wait to start using all the stickers I thought couldn’t ❤

I was so excited to see a 40 minute video! Thank you so much for showing us your system Lauren, I find the common planner so tempting so I really love seeing how you use it 🥰

I’m a firm believer any sticker size can work in any planner size. 😊

your spreads are always so cute! this video is making me want to try B6 size! ❤❤❤

One of the reasons I knew the CP was for me was perfect was because it offers two books. I adore a Avec set. I hate writing in too big of a book…too thick. And they are easy to put the together for long term memory keeping after the year is over. Its funny how different we all are. I don’t like the cover stuck in both sides. Aesthetically I prefer it only in one said and to decorate the front. It lays better when writing too. The thicker cover is ok. It’s on the notebooks she launched. It’s really thick and stiff. And mine has split at the corner - like the layers pulled apart the first day. And I’ve not had any issues with my CP cover. I have the mauve though which is sturdier. And I don’t tuck both sides. You can add some book binding tape to the inside to add some structure for your cover.

thank you for this awesome explanation of how you're using the common planner! i'm especially interested in how you've condensed down from an A5 to a B6 - it seems to be working really well! I do have a question for you though, since you mentioned that you don't use an electronic planner (like ical) at all - HOW do you manage to write everything down that you need to keep in your planner? I feel like I'm always on the go when I have something that either needs to be future planned, or I think of a task list item I need to write down, so I use siri to stick it in my phone so I don't forget! Also, anytime I'm listening to a podcast and there's a quote I want to remember, I'm driving or otherwise occupied and can't stop to write it down :P (maybe I'm answering my own question in that I just need to slow my life down a little and make stopping to write things down a priority?!) lol! I'd love to know your process :)

i dont even know where to start to have my planner looking this cute

I’m a new sub so I’m unaware but have you shared what your phd is about ? I’m really curious so if you’re ok with sharing I would love to know ! Also I struggle with anxiety and many of your tracking methods / planning methods really resonate with me and I’ve incorporated them into my system

Question for you...what do you use to print your pictures? Like the two coffees from Starbucks and the meme?

Nice vid, thanks

I’m really looking forward to seeing this video by you & literally one minute into the video I got ads 😅🙈 I know ads are important, but I was looking forward to seeing/hearing you talk about your planner so I got a little surprised/ temporarily annoyed about the ads 😅 But now the ads are done hehe 😜 Can’t wait to see how you’ve been using it!

New subscriber here, found you on Instagram and got super excited to find you have a channel too 😅 I love how your planner is both functional and so creative/aesthetic!!
