How To Set Up Your Home Planner

[@crystalreed1319]

I keep a "when did I last" page. It's basically a habit tracker for each month (13 columns) for household items like: washing the throw rugs, changing the air filter, purging phone photos, flipping and rotating the mattress, getting the oil changed, and so on and so on. It could be things that occur every month, every couple of weeks or every quarter or maybe even once a year. It is just a quick reference sheet to keep track of all of that

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Love this idea!

[@annec8127]

Super cool idea. Often times, my cleaning schedule gets screwed up by life (usually some kind of work deadline) and I lose track of when I actually did vacuum under the couch or clean out the tub. This is a good way to check and keep myself accountable! Thank you!

[@shannongreen6016]

Love the “purge phone photos”!!

[@Lovelyone1]

Wow!!! That’s genius!!!!!!

[@letsgetorganizedbyplanning7899]

That sound like a great system. What air filter do you switch out?

[@stephaniemcknight4347]

WOW! You are A-MAZING! I just discovered you and love what you say and how you manage your life in your planner. I am 75 and often forget things. I am seriously going to manage my life in 2021 via a planner! One thing I need to remember is when last I changed the sheets on the bed! I always change once a week, but oftentimes, don't remember the day! It's going in my new planner. Also, I keep track of my diabetes 2 blood tests and note it each day, also I keep a monthly list, so a quick look will tell me a lot! I shop a lot at Amazon, QVC, and HSN. I keep track of purchases each day, and a list of purchases I am waiting for delivery. When it arrives, I cross it off my list. I purchase a lot, so I NEED to keep track. I have subscribed to your channel so I don't lose track of you! Thank you so much! I am a fan!

You are amazing! 75 ..and watching KZbin, making your life easier and more organized 🥰 Honestly you are my hero)) Best wishes from Russia

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

You are so welcome! This is the highest compliment because my goal is to help as much as possible!

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Hey Guys! Today's video is a lengthy one but its a good one! We are talking about my home planner setup. It's day 12 in our "How To Start Planning Your Life" series and we are getting into the details of my home planner setup. What areas do you have in your home planner?

[@beautifullybliss]

You are an angel!!!! You’re system has been blessing my ADHD brain 😢(tears of joy!!!)

My husband and I just started monthly meetings and it’s been so helpful to look at the month together.

[@zamya319]

Love the appointment sheets per person, as well as the file cabinet cheat sheet! Can’t wait to “organize” my life better for 2021. Thank you!

[@dianew7567]

Loved this!! I checked the tabs of my Home Planner and here is what is in mine - at the front I have the 2020 Christmas Dashboard, and I will move that after the Christmas season... then the tabs are: To-Do Lists, Meal Planner, House Cleaning, Budget, Gardening, Home Renos, Book Club, Trip Planning, Car, Pets, Password Log.

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Oh! I love the idea of a Christmas Dashboard.

[@KateTheMama]

I'm literally in awe of you 😳 I'm so disorganized! I'm going to definitely utilize a TON of your ideas. Bought my first happy planner today and you're helping me get motivated so THANKS!!💞

I think I will re watch your videos to keep myself accountable especially for budgeting. You make planning simple and efficient

[@brendalisaguerrero5609]

Can I just say that I THANK GOD for you. I have tried to get this organized before and I dont seem to be able to find a good way. Most people in my life think I'm crazy that I plan out everything. However, after looking out your system... Queen you are everything! Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. Such a vibe!!

I am so happy you are back in your big planner. This is my first time using a big planner for 2021. And it's nothing better than to have inspiration from someone using the same planner/ system as you. I also have a section for Worship Planing.

I was originally going to keep everything in one planner, but as I am learning about zone cleaning and routines and such, I realize that I need to expand a bit. My husband handles over half the stuff you put, so that means I don't have much for my own home planner haha. Still, great ideas to get me started.

I love your org tips! Do you by any chance have a link to a picture of your file cabinet? Doesn’t have to be yours, but the style would be awesome to see. Thanks!

If you are doing a frankenplanner. You would need to go with Happy Planner mostly. The sizes are BIG (8 1/2 x 11) or Classic (7 x 9.25). I have a video on my classic setup.... hopefully this one will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmLYq4Nma6yHhLs
