This is the newest way I am using my paper planner. So, when payday rolls around, I know exactly what gifts need to be purchased.
I keep track of the presents that we plan on purchasing every paycheck in my planner.
So, we are also shopping for birthday gifts. We not only have Christmas, but many of our family members have birthdays during the holiday season. My husband and I start super early shopping for Christmas presents. I know what things need to be prepped beforehand and what things need to be purchased, if any. Keeping a schedule allows me to plan accordingly. Then, I will mark the topics in my planner. I will write things on sticky notes until I reach a certain date. But, nothing is set in stone until the post is written or recorded. Many times, I will have them planned out several months in advance.Īll of this is written in my paper planner. Therefore, I write down and plan any and all blog posts and videos. I wish I had a little of that “fly by the seat of your pants” type of personality, but I don’t. Just about everything that I do has to be fully planned out. Now, my daughter even enjoys going through my planner to see what photos I have used each week. They are usually photos that I have shared on social media that week. I will print out photos twice a week to add to my weekly spread. My planner is not only a planner now, but a memory keeper as well. I am so glad I did because it has transformed my planner. I was on the fence about it for over a year, but decided to purchase it and give it a shot. Back in the summer of 2016, I finally broke down and purchased a Polaroid Zip. This is a pretty new way I am using my planner, and it is definitely my favorite. I will refer to my monthly spread when writing my tasks and to dos each week. I will write them down on my monthly spreads immediately, then add then to my weekly spreads once that week arrives. These are usually the first things that get written down in my planner. If a highlighter is close to me that is what I will use.Īppointments, Meetings, Practices, and Special Dates And, there is really no reason why I choose one over another. When I accomplish a task on my list, I will either mark through it with a pen, check the box next to it (if there is one), or highlight it. Plus, I am extremely forgetful and the list helps. It keeps me focused and reminds me what I need to be working on throughout the day. Every single day, I write out a to do list and I work hard to complete everything on it. I am an individual that lives by a to do list. The Six Ways I Use My Paper Planner Daily To Do Lists I do not have multiple planners hanging out at my house. I will start by saying, I am a one planner girl. I am still using an Erin Condren life planner as well, but I have switched from the vertical to the horizontal layout.

I was very intimidated! I can say that I didn’t use that planner much that year because I was very unsure of how to use it.įast forward five years and I now have my planner style down. The Erin Condren had all of these notes pages, pockets, and the weekly pages had a lot of extra boxes and space. Before that moment, I just used a basic academic planner. I remember opening up my first Erin Condren life planner. Honestly, it took me awhile to fully recognize how I was going to use my planner the most effectively. So, you need to know how you will use the planner in order to figure out what brand and style works best for you. Or, it may not be laid out like that at all. The weekly spread may be in a vertical layout, or it may be in a horizontal. The monthly calendar may be set up different. From my experience, no two planners are the same. Picking out the planner is important, but you need to know how you will use it to make the best decision. In my last guest post here, I shared how to decide on a paper planner. The following is a guest post about how to use a paper planner from regular contributor, Kristin at The Gold Project.
