It cracks me up the amount of people who are 'my way or the highway'. I'm 66. An empty-nester. Will I set up a planner exactly like yours? No. Will I take some of your ideas and tweak them for my planner. Yes. So re-date your pages as much as you like! (Just a note, I'm a Monday start person. But my work week for my part-time job starts on Sunday. So I keep my monthly on Sunday and my weekly on Monday,.)

I am so excited! My EC is coming on Monday and I can’t wait! I also got the compact vertical like you did! I also was using a monthly EC planner. This is the first time I’ve ever used a July start also. Yeah, big changes for me! But, I’m excited!

Always used the academic year, but first time using a life planner instead of the monthly.

Yay, I hope you're loving your new planner!

I am a Team Monday! I wish EC would offer the calendar as a Monday start. I feel like all of her weekly and daily views all start on Monday. I am always have to re date. I like just getting the top washi with the days and dates and it allows for extra decor. :D Thanks for sharing. I am going with the Bold Blooms and I have already re dated my July-Dec.

Having a separate video with your home cleaning schedule planning would be wonderful!

Thank you so much for the shoutout darling! And for your kind words!! You honor meee! 😭Yes, one of the best ways to improve our handwriting is to SLOW DOWN. It's gonna be speed vs. precision for a while but eventually it will stick! This was so thorough - it looks amazing! I'm seriously motivated to get the back of my planner set up now - I can't wait for my order to get here lol! This was so satisfying to watch. ♥

Haha love that you hide them!! 😂

Love the checkered flags and your F1 stickers/schedule.

I love that! Let the haters scream into the void! I wish we could do that with all the internet (and real life) bullies lol. 😂

I re-date for the Monday start, too. I work M-F so I like to have my two weekend days next to each other. Also, why is the week a Monday start and the month isn't?? It drives me crazy!!

HancanPlan has a 7x9 cleaning routine for daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual sections with check off columns. The daily and weekly do not have enough check off spaces for the whole year. Anyway, I am planning to put my reasonable ideal cleaning routine on it for reference. I have yet to fill it out. I also have the house project to fill out. Haven’t taken the time to sit down and plan it out. I follow Flylady mostly, I also read Clean mama.

Loved this video! I am in a EC DD for work this year and the EC vertical for personal and home. I’ve set everything up and even decorated for holidays etc Like your formula one - I am a football girl! Chicago Bears all the way. I love to have game days in my planner. Thanks for all the videos

Love 😂 how you handle weird comments :) so true like why would anyone feel that they have a say in your planner lol. I love your channel and your style 🌸

One of the reasons I left EC several years ago was because I PREFER MONDAY STARTS - I think it’s because our family time is Friday through Sunday night and this keeps it visually together which makes it infinitely better for planning ✅

Another great video Kristan! I went with the 7x9 DD in Evolve this year - because I still have my weekly “Kristan” page🤣 I just don’t have to draw it anymore! I ended up recoiling so I could just mice all the blank pages to the back. That’s where I go to find all of my trackers, brain dumps, etc. This video kept me company!

I really really really almost bought a DD but figured I can always try it next year. It seems like the perfect solution now!

you should cut a piece of card stock for the tab so it will be sturdy and durable . kinda like sandwiched in between .

I transfer the 2025 date to the calendar at the beginning or to the month.

I am a Monday start now probably since around Jan or Feb of this year. I just moved my Hemlock and Oak bookbound to rings this week and it seems like it'll work for me through December. With my smaller budget, I may go back to diy and use my money for the deco stickers that I love instead.
