I’m a planning nerd, list person and basic organizational junkie. It’s so refreshing to see someone talk about actual planning. Social media is rife with people doing art and buying stickers and washi tape. To be clear-this has nothing to do with planning and everything to do with procrastination and wasting money. Thanks for your reasonable advice on actual planning!🌻

I understand your point but you don’t have to be rude about the people who do like artistry. It's not procrastination if it genuinely helps you. And it’s not a waste of money if you enjoy it. Personally, I’m not a planner at all but I journal a lot. I love adding decoration to the borders of my journaling pages because it’s fun and I like it. It soothes me. Not a waste of time or money in my book. We can appreciate the simplicity and what goes into this system without disparaging other systems.

I started carrying my comp book with me and writing notes like what was said in my doctor's appt or on whatever business calls I made. It's like an outcome log for my original to-do list. It both clears up storage space in the brain because I'm "storing" the info in my notebook, and also increases future accurcy because I have it to refer to, because the act of writing things down helps you remember them better, and because I'm writing the notes right after it happened instead of trying to recall it hours later to journal at night.

As you should Hun! “Fluff”is a form of creative expression among other things! I LOVE stickers and markers, colors etc. That’s what I love about planning- you can plan the way you want how you want and it’s always ok😊

Thank you for this video!! I’m glad I found you in my suggestions 😊 I can’t tell you how much money I wasted on various planner systems that didn’t work for me. Not to mention the pressure I felt when other influencers used tons of stickers🤯 I need something basic and effective and you definitely helped me with that! Thanks so much ❤

Thank you my friend! There are many ways to plan and I try to showcase all the ways. I’m leaning more towards simple, cost effective ways as my wallet has taken a hit in this economy 😵‍💫 Thanks for watching and for being here 😊

Lol, not only a planning nerd here... I've taught time management, including the use of planners (as varied as the people using them) to plan and accomplish priorities.

Thanks!! Great idea. I’ll do mine!!! I never tough doing it!!! Thanks again!!

I’m a planner. I’m 71 yrs old now so my planner chores have changed to doctor visits and lunch get together and flower planting. I go crazy when I see school supplies.

I so love this, we tend together caught up when seeing outstanding things (in our eyes) n forget why we started a action to begin with. I think we tend to “complicate” things waaayyyy too much. My mother of 81 years young this year looks at me OFTEN n says “sha, (babygirl in creole) use the kiss method” (kiss= keep it simple stupid, no it’s not rude nor is she calling names, it’s a duh moment thing) 🤣😂🤣😂 thank you for sharing n reminding that life is complicated enough why not keep the things you can simple n efficient.

Thank YOU for sharing your mother’s sentiments. I find I love planners so much that I tend to complicate things because I’m passionate about it. Sometimes, you just have to use the KISS method to get things done😊

Late to the party for this video, but love notebooks, planners and organization. Helps me to feel in control. I am a teacher and love when school supplies come out in the summer. New studies out that say writing helps your brain in so many ways. I have a spendy planner which I like to be "perfect" and keep on my desk so I practice in a notebook first!
