You setting up your planner with over a week left in the year: "last-minute set up." Me: Oh, I can show you last-minute.

[@amanda.correa]

hold my coffee 😅🤣

[@JunieOutdoors]

😂 so good.

[@Superpiggieness]

I set up mine in Feb? 😅

[@Stormbrise]

I don’t set up the complete planner, just the day and/or week I am currently in.

[@mixolydia3309]

Seriously, I haven’t even bought my Leuchtturm for next year lol. I did buy my Hobo Weeks.

[@bad_anima]

I made the mistake of asking my mom to get me a Sterling Ink Common Planner for Christmas so I'm definitely going to be doing last minute planning haha

[@JFlocRNa]

I just ordered my first CP a few days ago, so I'm in the same boat. Not too worried, I did a brain dump to-do list in the back of my old planner to refer to at the start of the year and can fit things into the Google calendar as I go along the first week. Plus I've watched a few vids and mapped out some ideas for how I want my new planner to function, looking forward to it.

[@katv1195]

That front page with the whole year and tick boxes would be great for people who work a rotating shift, eg 6 days on then 2 days off so their days off move week by week. Or parental custody days. I use trackers like that to track birthdays, anniversaries and public holidays

[@KPApothecary]

Habit tracker: that mystery spread is for habit tracking. However Im a visual person and need my habit tracker on my weekly spread, otherwise I will forget about it.

[@niconico4962]

My planner has been under the christmas tree for a couple of weeks now and I cant wait to get to planning as soon as I open it

[@debbiedeas]

I’ve really been stressing out about my setup. I’m trying to remind myself that my planner can evolve, and it’ll probably be cool to see the evolution.

[@patriciamcelroy3581]

It’s only paper. ❤

[@melanieswritingplans]

I always love how simple you make planner setups! Btw, I splurged and got myself a Hobonichi Weeks for 2024, and I am absolutely LOVING it so far! I actually shrieked with joy when I saw that it was starting the week of Thanksgiving so that I could get used to it before the New Year actually starts. I absolutely love all of your videos and your energy is just so bubbly and uplifting. Thanks for all you do for us Rachelle! Happy Holidays to you and yours.

[@RachelleinTheory]

I’m so glad you like it!!! And thanks for the sweet words 🥹 happy holidays!!

[@Katie_v]

🤚🏼 in the new year here! 😂

[@katsmith8263]

I have a hard time deciding on the planner size and layout 🎉😮. I don't have much to write on the daily planner, but i still want the daily pages, i also want the weeklies in my planner, but then the planner has to be bigger if i want to see the whole week. I can't decide!!!!! Could you please explain how ho chose the size and layout???

[@philippaclarke2844]

I just unwrapped my first Hobonichi Weeks this morning, so this is perfect timing for me - bye family for the rest of the day!

[@arielleluana]

I need you to do a video on preplanning!

[@takanarisdc]

Great video! Love the difference between the yellow and blue stickies. I will say that monthly horizontal checkbox section in the front or even the vertical monthly could be great for habit tracking if someone is looking for ideas!

[@mildyoutube3729]

This is a great idea to use on my mini planner that will be carrying around, making sure I'm not missing any important things.

[@TheBigBlueHouse]

You can use that habit tracker in the beginning to track Number of hours of sleep, number of glasses of water you drink, or other things like that

[@mixolydia3309]

I’m sure you’ve shown it before but I’m very intrigued by the Take A Note. I calculated how wide the columns would be and I got around 5cm. That’s a lot more than the usable width of a Cousin week column, around 3cm. Much more comfortable to use for what you’re doing with a combo of time tracking and memory keeping. My main problem with the Hobo Cousin Avec this year was that I didn’t like writing notes/todos in the weekly layout because the columns are much narrower than what I was used to in my bullet journal. So starting in October I ended up just using daily pages to make weekly spreads. I only used the weekly if I had a busier day. I’m going to try recreating this in 2024 with a Leuchtturm bujo and the Hobo Weekly Supplement.

[@iluVioletLink]

Tbh I actually do my spreads a week or a few days or even a day before the following month, that way I know what I want right before that month starts cuz if I preplan way long before I'm scared of any last minute changes.

[@YuliDnevnik]

11:24 I would use it as a tracker. Whether its habit or social media related

[@Mariam-iq4if]

I love the thumbnail! I actually bought a time timer and TAN planner partly because I saw them on your channel☺️☺️

[@mzamilbr]

Wow, Rachelle, thank you for another very important, helpful advice. Let start planning and it ok to have some blank - Thank you

[@s.annehancock730]

Reassuring and encouraging. Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

[@goddessdejour]

Thank you, Rachelle! This video sparked an idea for what I could use my A6 TAN for when I realized it was too small for my original idea - i’m making it my daily rapid log instead of on my weekly papertess pages 😉 thank, again, and Happy Christmas🎄

[@renaesutton3145]

I use the year at a glance pages to track when I use vacation and sick time from work with a running total. Also added the curbside recycling schedule that is every other week that I always loose track of lol.

[@larhesajamiel]

Have you tried the muji planner? It’s like the Weeks but bigger!

[@sarahshahin2141]

i used to track my sleep, mood and productivity level in the monthly and important events in the yearly,, maybe you can switch.. use the yearly as a tracker where you can see those important things on the course of a whole year. :)

[@gs-vg8uf]

Pretty sure the spread shown at 11:43 is for tracking and could be where you put your sleep tracker. ??

[@patriciamcelroy3581]

I don’t even care about looking at a 2024 planner until after the holidays. ❤

[@misslanguage]

That first part is a tracker! You can use it for your sleep tracking!

[@jaylarcher7410]

I haven’t finished the video. But what nail polish do you have on?

[@Angellosa]

Love the tips, will use some, but let me tell you how I went around for not having my next year planner all set yet. I decided to extend my 2023 and start my 2024 in March, just the way it was before the current calendar got established. Smartpants me, hahaha.

[@uguubella]

🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

[@Laura-je2uw]

So the hobonichi cousin spring edition would be perfect for you.

[@ChantelleArts]

it's really interesting to see your approach to planning!! hope everyone has a lovely Christmas ❤❤

[@tlh1love]

I use the front monthly 2-line tracker for my PTO and holidays. I just one line cause I don’t reference it regularly.

[@heiiidiii]

Thanks for sharing, this is awesome and super helpful for getting started! Also I happened to notice that it looks like we are birthday twins - I am also a January 12th baby! 😄

[@AskEndy]

any ideas for the yearly Index Pages

[@xxblueeyesskyexx]

Duuude, I still don't HAVE my 2024 planner but have all the things to go into it ready to go. Silly USPS needs to deliver my Common Planner I bought in November the hour they became available. 🙃

[@Coconuthead85]

I like that peach clock 🤭

[@loriallred4727]

OMG - I looked up the mini take a note planner bc I really liked the weekly setup and it is $600! Surely it is available somewhere for cheaper?!! 😮

[@emilyoliver9402]

Conversion rates! That is in New Taiwan Dollars. It's about $35 USD.

[@loriallred4727]

@@emilyoliver9402 How do I make sure i’m paying $35 and not $600

[@judixx]

That is not USD. But mind you you have to add more in the cart to get free shipping.

[@YuliDnevnik]

600 taiwanese dollars..

[@liliax9147]

I’m still waiting for mine to get here 😂

[@beccabowen4292]

Omg I'm so early? Hiii 🎉

[@lil.ikuraa]

hi rachelle! dude you are always putting out practical approaches and I am always surprised how simple it can be. thanks for another innovative idea! :) - krissy ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

[@ginarghhhhh]

Like if you set up your planner on January 1st and the absolute earliest 😂

[@21972012145525]
