2024 Planner Chat, chatty planner chaos

[@SomeRandomChickkk]

I struggled with 2023 as well. I went the entire month of April barely planning anything because nothing I had was working. I of course over bought for 2024... again. But I'm just trying to nail down a system to use that I can adapt to any planner. Let the games begin!

When you were talking about not feeling present with your kids I felt that! I am the same way. I always feel like I need to get something done and I should definitely schedule in fun.

It can be such a hard balance to find. I’m definitely still working on it everyday❤

I’m a mommy of 4 and although our youngest is 13 now, I feel you. It’s something with “working mom” status to sahm where we feel like a failed day when we weren’t busy enough or producing something enough. As one with older kids and having gone back to work (at home) full time, just know you’re enough and that this time with the little ones will never come back. Enjoy every precious moment today, in the present. It’s ok to rest and take naps with the baby. Cheers! Praying for you!!

Thank you so much for the kind words❤

Love all your lived in planners! Maybe you could tip in blank sheets in your Commit30 to give yourself extra writing room during the weeks you need it. It might be chunky but you could have everything in one place in a planner you love.❤️

[@ThePinkBowMama]

That’s a great idea! I’m just worried if I tip it in in every week it might be too much. Especially because I want close to a page per day…. Haha

I am using the travelers note book yearly dated planner that looks like the weeks. I will also have a grid for daily and a monthly year long insert for apts. i like this set up because the grid daily is not dated-and I can use as many pages as I choose or I can add a 4th notebook for commonplace things keeping the daily strictly bullet journal set up. My weekly seems to be weather, week at a glance-appointments, something memorable... the grid side a morning evening tracker of personal habits I want to dwell on

I used to love tns and I’ve tried setting one up recently and I just can’t get into it for some reason

[@ZayaPlans]

this baby wants her own planner system

Schedule afternoon quiet times for the kids and yourself.. make them happen daily. Go to bed at a decent time and wake up one hour early for yourself. When you quit being the person that runs everything your creative full of idea person will shine

[@cathiejo2165]

Love my travelers notebook! I always come back to it so I quit trying other things! And I can make it what ever I want!

[@ThePinkBowMama]

Haha love it! I try to wake up at 4…. But my youngest is less than a year and still wakes up inconsistently throughout the night and is a very needy baby. One day I will get my me time back

[@ThePinkBowMama]

@@cathiejo2165I also usually go back to a tn. It was my first love! But I can’t seem to get into it lately

[@cathiejo2165]

How many pages are in the weeks size notebooks? (They use to come in a 3 pack) could you buy one notebook for each month and do your daily's in the notebook?

[@ThePinkBowMama]

I’m not sure, I’ve never looked into them!
