FIGURING OUT A 2024 PLANNER SETUP :: IDEAS ON HOW TO APPROACH PLANNER ORGANIZATION, CHANGES, UPDATES

[@Kindlelover88]

This was a very productive video. Thank you so much it’s really helped me. I think that’s the biggest thing is trying to not create duplication in more work. I want the planner to work for me not me working the planner so much.

[@squairdplans]

I totally understand that! This process should be helpful.

This is one of my favorite videos from you. I want to have an actual perpetual calendar - not the one from the front of a Happy Planner or what most of the planner community calls a perpetual planner. I used to have a notebook that had all the annual significant events like birthdays, anniversaries, and invariable holidays that I could move each year to the next calender (since perpetual means everlasting and the year calendar in Happy Planners are not). I feel that would lessen the setup for those types of reminders. I am working on my own 2024 lists, so thanks for sharing this process.

[@squairdplans]

I always think I would want a true perpetual calendar, but then again, know I would forget to check it. And even if I did, I would need to transfer the events to something I would look at regularly so it would be kinda redundant. But that is where knowing what will and won't work for me comes in handy, especially before jumping in. Hopefully, you find a perpetual that works for your 2024 system. Happy planning!

Another video I didn't know I needed 🙂I just said to my mum that I needed to reorganise my planner and this video was perfectly timed! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@squairdplans]

So glad it was helpful!

[@AwesomeSauce2001]

Wow! Incredibly helpful. Questions I didn’t think to ask myself. I really appreciate the thoroughness of your thought process.

[@squairdplans]

So glad it was helpful!

[@cinnamonstilwell1232]

I have never been successful at planning and always felt like it was just another chore I had to do. But you gave a great new perspective of how to figure out what works FOR us! This is the most useful planning video I have ever seen! New subscriber here and great job! please continue to share videos like this as you go through the year.

[@squairdplans]

I'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching and for subbing!

[@almaflores4410]

Great brainstorming idea.

[@emilybrailsford6914]

You are quickly becoming my favorite planning KZbinr.

[@squairdplans]

Wow, thanks! Happy to hear it!

[@godsend9506]

I came across this on my TV, felt so inspired that I quickly started taking lots of notes. Then I just had to get on here so I could subscribe to my inspiration.

[@squairdplans]

I’m so happy to hear it! Thanks for subbing! ☺️👍

[@rosieiannuzzelli3409]

So glad I came across your channel. I've only been planning a year and have been feeling that there isn't a specific pre-made planner that is doing what I want/need. You've opened me up to new ideas and not being afraid to just make it custom to what I want. Thank you!

[@squairdplans]

So glad it was helpful! Happy planning!

[@rachaelr8044]

This is exactly what I have been looking for for years to help me set up. Thank you.

[@squairdplans]

Glad I could help!

[@gallifreydolls4951]

What a great way to take inventory of the planning year! Thanks for the inspiration :)

[@squairdplans]

Happy to share!

[@ayanarandolph5778]

This was nice to watch. I liked seeing you go through your planner looking what worked and what didn’t work. I did the same although not as organized. I just went through slapping sticky notes on my sections that I liked or didn’t like. Lol But I will definitely do this and keep it for reference.

[@squairdplans]

Glad to help! Happy to help!

[@RebaKennedy]

Just found your channel -- appreciate all your time and effort here!!! And thanks so much for all the tips and tricks in this particular video. Great stuff!

[@squairdplans]

You are so welcome!

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Love your attention to detail…girl after my own heart. 😊 I too am struggling to find the right planner, because I want a mini size to carry with me…but it has to fit everything I need! I think I want the impossible. 😂

[@squairdplans]

LOL! Kindred spirits! If I could do everything I do in my classic but have it in pocket size, it would be perfection. #impossibleplanner

[@mrsp5713]

Perfect! This is definitely one video I will rewatch and take notes and follow along with. It’s so much my style but refined! 😂

[@squairdplans]

Thanks! So glad it was helpful!

Thank you for this video. This gave me a few things to think about for setting up my planner for 2024. I really have not been consistent with my planner this year. I want to do better going forward.

Hi! Thank you for making this video. This is my first time hearing about discbound/frankenplanners. & I am wanting to try it for 2024. I was wondering - will you be creating a video of what your 2024 looks like?

[@squairdplans]

I am working on it. It will be my 2024 lineup video when it goes up. 😁👍

[@JoanneBelda]

@@squairdplansGreat! I look forward to it! 🙂🙂

I have a few health conditions that I would like to track next year. Any tips, I am sure, would be appreciated. Thank you….

[@squairdplans]

Sure thing! I will of course share my process in 2024 but if you want to see how I am currently tracking my health issues, check out my monthly flipthrough videos. Here is the latest video: kzbin.info1mavoScC32M?feature=share

[@heathercarpenter5793]

I just wish I was better at using my personal stuff in my planner 😅 I’m good with the budget and schedule parts

[@squairdplans]

The struggle can be all too real! Some days keeping up with my planner can feel like a chore, but I always feel good when I see in all filled in.

[@joannacrews7294]

Wow that was invaluable to walk with you through that process. It didn’t take very long but it will inform your purchase ($$$) & affect your daily practices for the whole next year. You couldn’t have explained it to me- my ears would have bled. 😂 But watching made me sit down ad attempt it myself. This was an excellent exercise. Thank you!❤🎉

[@squairdplans]

LOL! I don't know that I COULD have explained it without showing it so glad your found the process helpful!

[@crystalhadley392]

Great video!!

[@squairdplans]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@liisaking1247]

Very thorough, very helpful. I'm looking at making changes to both what I use and how I use it in 2024. I've mostly just had monthly side tabs. Where do I get top tab dashboards for A5 size? I like the idea of going through things section by section and being able to get to each area easily.

[@squairdplans]

Here are a couple of links to A5 top tabs I found on Amazon: amzn.to/3uls0Gg & amzn.to/49CpStL

[@TheRebelEvolution]

What does "on the hutch for that" mean at 5:50? Like you're currently developing it?

[@squairdplans]

LOL! Actually, I said "on the hunt for that" or basically that I am searching for it. I'm sure my stuffy nose and itchy throat make me a little hard to understand at times. Hopefully, that was just a blip in the audio.

[@sharif9513]

I love the dividers in your planner!! Where did you purchase them or did you make them?

[@squairdplans]

The fall leaf/book themed dividers are one that I made and are available as downloads in my Etsy shop: etsy.me/3LnAMZY

Loving this video ❤

I’m just getting back into planning. I’d love to know what planner and accessories you’re using here or planning to use for your 2024 planner.

[@squairdplans]

Still working on it. I will definitely do a lineup video soon though. Just gotta figure out a few things first...

What pen are you using. Erased very nicely.

Great Video ! So if you're about making planners this is a great video ! But actually you can throw most of it away and live your life. What is important to you and just put that in your planner and monitor and manage that in your planner for a great life !

[@squairdplans]

I agree. Each person can decided how much they need and how much they don’t. I have built up to this amount of planners and really enjoy the creative aspect tied to planning but could easily let stuff go if it is too overwhelming. You should tailor your planner to you and your lifestyle. 👍

[@lindastarr6569]

I have watching for a year th planning videoa and i think you need to make yoir our planner

[@squairdplans]

Maybe one day…selling physical items comes with a whole other set of challenges I’m not ready for 🥴🫣

[@nellyvida6231]

How did you keep multiple planners in one planner? I don’t want to go up ring sizes, could it be the dividers I’m using? It’s bulky 😢

[@squairdplans]

I only keep one to two months in my planner at a time. I use a future log to manage anything that falls outside of those months. Depending on how many planners you need, you could likely keep your planner standard 1.25" discs, even with 5 planners or more.

[@vluvs2stitch1980]

Thank you for this video! I have always used a paper calendar/planner, but I never knew I could utilize it for so many areas in my life. Now, I need to watch this video again & make notes. Do you have a list of your 2024 inserts you will be using we could use for reference?

[@nellyvida6231]

[@debidots]

Great video, I watched it several times. Could you send me copies of your examples. I think I work better with p1apers in front of me.

I think I can make that happen. Reach out to me through me email (address in the description) and I'll send you pics of the pages.

[@deborah5578]

What is a frankinplanner

[@squairdplans]

It is a term in the planner community that refers to adding multiple planners into one. I use the term to refer to the combined planner I work out of (5 planners in one frankenplanner) but can also mean splicing dividers from one planner with another layout (usually happy planners) to create a new custom frankenplanner.

[@polishedandpoisedplanner]

Taking notes for 2025 lol

Yes, the process is really good for new year planner setups! 🙌

[@nikkis_gonna_plan]

What is your inbox for?

[@squairdplans]

It is the my capture place for anything that I don't have an assigned timeframe/scheduled date for, kinda like a brain dump space but smarter. It allows me to process those items in a methodically way so that I can get them out of my head but at hand when needed. If you want to know about the system, here is my video all about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYKmm42Lf7GUg6s
