I use 2 planners. One is an FCC compact that I keep at home that has EVERYTHING in it. The other is a pocket that i take with me everywhere. It contains a yearly,, along with a week on one page for the entire year. I list important dates (appointments,birthdays, planned vacations, etc) on the weeklies so I can schedule follow-up appointments at the doctor's office, or social commitments when I'm out of the house. I also carry post-its and extra lined paper in the pocket, along with a few pieces of deco. I track my blood pressure for my cardiologifst, si i do this in my pocket, because that's the planner that will be with me when i see him. This system has worked for me for 2 years.

[@jennifercwilliams1]

Ditto 😊

[@Beverlyplans]

Thank you for the ideas 💡 I am working on it to see what ultimately works for the on the go. 🙂🙂

[@jennifercwilliams1]

I use my pocket as just my on the go - basic calendar and note paper only. I can kep appts and make a quick list if needed. I keep my A5 at home for everything else. I have been happy in this duality for more than 2 yrs because it works for me. You just have to kiss alot of toads until you find your prince. It will be so worth it when you find what makes you happy unless hopping keeps you always interested. Pocket is also good as a catch for travel.

[@Beverlyplans]

I am trying the dual thing 🤣🤣 I never have been much of one. We will see how it goes 🙃🤔🙃

[@SandyD]

Girl, I have been flip-flopping between pocket and personal for years! I even did A6 for a minute..LOL! Right now I am in personal, but I know EXACTLY what you mean about the pocket. It's so cute, I just want to hold it and look at it.....😂 What I have been doing is enjoying my personal size, the writing space and everything about it, BUT somewhat keeping the pocket up to date so I can grab it and go with if I want to. I feel so ridiculous sometimes because I am SO indecisive about it! 🤣

[@Beverlyplans]

Same 🤪🤪 idk why it makes me crazy but it does 😳😳😳

[@bonfer20]

I just went into a passport TN (Moterm Companion). I thought it would be way too small, but honestly, I may have finally found planner peace. I write big too, but now that I no longer have the rings I have more writing space. I have 5 notebooks in the TN which supplies all my needs. The 2 page calendar is awesome too. I LOVE it❤!

[@LesaKenner]

I literally just jumped into a passport tn too and loving it!!

[@Beverlyplans]

I was wondering if a non ring smaller version would be better. 🤔🤔🤔 but I’m trying not to get to crazy 🤣🤣

[@bonfer20]

@@Beverlyplans I was doubtful for myself, but I have fallen in love. And because it's a TN, I am able to put enough booklets to fulfill my needs. ❤️

[@suewells2468]

Maybe if you clip the holes so you can take it out to write without opening the rings? It is adorable! Love the color!

[@Beverlyplans]

Thank you!

[@taniatheterrific]

I was going to suggest the same. That's what I do with all my ring inserts.

[@dymundprynsess]

U were not listening. She said she doesn't like it cuz she's a big flipper and it'll come out

[@nancyyearwood4548]

Perimenopause is no joke! I liked your video extra for that!!!! LOL!!!

[@Beverlyplans]

Thank you 😊 it sucks 🤪

[@JustScribble]

I know pocket or pocket plus is cute. But I don’t know why you’d need your everything planner to be that portable. Your natural handwriting is larger (like mine) and I expect it’s more comfortable to plan in a larger planner. And do you really need to have your whole planner with you when you are running errands or going out to dinner? I know it’s nice to have it for comfort but do you honestly use it or need any of that with you? I’m honestly curious. I work in an office everyday and I carry a planner with me and leave my main planner at home bc it’s just too big to lug. But my carry planner doesn’t have everything in it - it’s scaled down. But even that I don’t need to carry with me for errands or dinner with friends. I carry a small cute notebook - passport or pocket or similar. That way I can have a place for notes and lists and ideas and just transfer it to my planner when I get home or get a chance. If I didn’t go into the office daily I’d have my main planner (no carry planner) and I’d have the small passport/pocket for on the go. I don’t want to try to make all my plans and memory keeping etc in something small. It’s not enough space for me and it wouldn’t make me happy. And I don’t need it that small. Just my thoughts of course but I think honestly thinking about what you really need and when is a big piece. And what you need to be portable. Having two different systems for different purpose that work in tandem can be helpful.

[@Beverlyplans]

Thanks for ideas 💡 😊 I honestly don’t need everything but my brain says what if you need it .. 😳😳😳 the plan is to go thru and see exactly what I need and what I don’t. I think it will work out but if not … I’m just gonna lug my planner with me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I honestly don’t go enough places to matter either way. 😊🤷‍♀️ I hope 🤞

[@kindredstarr]

I miss watching you plan. I enjoy these videos, but watching you fill stuff out and use your planner was enjoyable.

[@Beverlyplans]

I used to love the plan with me but I’m afraid it’ll get boring because I basically do the same thing every week 🤣🤣🤣 and I don’t PWM w/ stickers.

[@kindredstarr]

Oh, I enjoy the PWM for body-doubling! Gets me back in my planner sometimes and encourages me to do what I need to do :) Love your personality, so it's entertaining either way!

[@Beverlyplans]

@@kindredstarr thank you! I will try to do one 🙂

[@planningandpowerlifting]

When I saw the title, at first I thought it was a response video to me, and then I remembered the meme. Ultimately, you have to do what works for you. For me, it's the Jibun Techo Biz. Maybe disc bound would work for you? Mini Happy Planner size is close to personal.

[@Beverlyplans]

🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t think about that when I made the title . I said it to my kid earlier and it was rumbling around my head 🤯🤯 and kinda how it’s been 😆😆😆

[@waggermama]

❤ same same. Pocket is so very cute (and I have two lovely Maldens in pocket size), but I Just Can’t Use Them. I think it’s partly my writing is too big for tiny planners ( I failed at passport TN too). Personal is my jam, and that’s that.

[@Beverlyplans]

I am loving my personal 😍 I am staying in it for now and working on the pocket on the side 🤷‍♀️ if I get some sorta version that works we will see then ..

[@mrs.scales3475]

Pockets are definitely cute and I have 2 myself but I can’t use them. B6 and personal wide are my sizes. I fell into that “cute” factor! 🤣

[@Beverlyplans]

It’s sssooo cuutteee 😩😩😩😩 I want it to work so bad 😝😝

[@SandyD]

Also, southern girl here...living in North Dakota. I've always called a shopping cart a buggy, too....when I would say it, people here would look at me weird..LOL! I find myself now calling it a cart..don't know why...lol🤷‍♀

[@Beverlyplans]

🤣🤣🤣

[@alisonmcdonald1978]

You definitely seem most comfortable in the personal size😊. I could swear you just said "Wash your sister sauce" 😂😂 🧡 your accent, 🧡 listening to you 🥰

[@Beverlyplans]

I did 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MaineMamaPlans]

This has always been my exact dilemma with sizing down. I absolutely love seeing other set ups. I love the functionality in my mind of having a smaller planner with a smaller footprint that’s easier to carry but when it comes down to it, I just can’t make it work for me. I also write too big to feel like I’m comfortable. I’ve played around with the idea of simply having a pocket/passport tn or ring set up simply for on the go sticker storage or washy or just as a quick note, taking while I’m in public, and don’t want to without my big planner, but again i’ve just never been able to set up a pocket or smaller size as my every day carry. It never feels right…

[@Beverlyplans]

It’s good to know I’m not alone 😆😆 it seems a lot of people have this problem. My writing is just so big 😩😩 and my dailies are sometimes so full of lists and such. Idk how to fit it all on smaller pages. I’m not giving up but I know I am not gonna settle either or force it 🙂 I’ll see how it goes 🤷‍♀️ or doesn’t ..

[@zenglyph]

I love small things and I love my Moleskine Pocket Daily, but I tried pocket rings and the pages were sooo small (they are smaller than bound pocket). I still want them to work, but I am more comfortable in Personal Rings with FCC inserts.

[@Beverlyplans]

Yes I am loving personal size! I think my pocket will just be a wallet for now.

[@zenglyph]

@@Beverlyplans I put cash envelopes in one of my pocket ones and it's my wallet/grocery expenses tracker. ❤

[@Beverlyplans]

@@zenglyph that’s a great idea too!!! Thank you!

[@bestlaidplans2024]

I'm having a similar issue and for me it's a stack reduction thing, We're all working on finding our own version of Planner Peace 😄

[@Beverlyplans]

Prayers for us all 🙏😆🙃

[@MamaGraciePlans]

Have you ever tried the leuchtterm a6 size with a wallet insert? In the a6, I’ve made a Mo2p monthly and left the rest to make lists and things I needed on the go. I carried a wallet insert and used a pocket sized travelers notebook. The a6 leuchtterm isn’t square. It’s rectangular. I have a few videos on my channel about my pocket planner, but if you’d like I can send you a video on how mine looked. It was amazing for on the go. Moterm has a pocket sized leather too instead of the TN. I made a bullet journal essentially.

[@Beverlyplans]

I have had one in the past. I will look for your videos for sure 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@Swt.Designs]

On the monthly is there a way to put the “notes” on far left side close to rings? Maybe. Yes it would be altering the layout, however if that’s a simple fix to get u into a planner u like so much is a plus? Make fold outs for smaller one? As far as ur pics n stuff, u could use pics of ur family for the dividers maybe? Or even fold outs for ur pics. if ur not a one planner woman, remove what bothers u n keep what is doable? At the end of the day, find ur joy hun… life is waaayyy too stressful to add to it. I find that if I let things sit n revisit it later, some things just work out but Girl I’m at a loss too lol it is adorable tho lol

[@Beverlyplans]

I let the personal sit and came back to it and love it 😍 so we will see if that helps 😆😆 I am gonna keep figuring out if it’s something I actually want or something that was good to set up and then let go 🤷‍♀️ or maybe something that I use when I’m busy and keep my personal for just regular use.

[@plannercoven]

I don't think I could move over to pocket. I'd be casting down into a well out of sheer frustration!

[@Beverlyplans]

Yes 🙌 🙌🙌 🤣🤣

[@robinmanly7381]

Cool video! Would a fold-out monthly help (instead of dividing across 2 pages)? When I have a small ringed format like the pocket, I simply don't write on the left side. This offers a clean look to the spread and I can always scrawl quickly on the left if I have to jot something down urgently.

[@Beverlyplans]

I thought of a fold out monthly but just slit the pages and washied them. They pull out pretty easily now.

[@ungluedmom]

Spring Break - starting with the 2nd snow storm in a week. 😂😂😂 Thankfully, we just aren't traveling, go-go-go types or the weather would be side-lining. Planner wise, I am taking the week off.

[@Beverlyplans]

We had one of the slowest spring breaks in history in Florida because of the weather. I hope it gets better 🫶🫶 it was chilly here anyway 🤣 I hope the week off is great 😊

[@ungluedmom]

@Beverlyplans It is a load off my shoulders. I work in the school district, so not just the kids are off. I need it more than they do. 8 more weeks of school until summer...not that I'm counting. 😂

[@JustMonica402]

Omg! I found your channel and I absolutely LOVE IT!! You are so relatable. 100% honesty, real feelings and thoughts and I share the same. I’ve been in a planner funk lately and haven’t touched them in a bit. I think primarily because I have essential tremor and writing has become difficult but refuse to give up. So again thank you for being so relatable and for awakening my desire to jump back into my planner. 🩷

[@Beverlyplans]

Welcome to the hotmess 🤣🤪 I just share whatever cause I am not an organized you tuber 🤣🤣 I am just a do whatever .. 🤷‍♀️ I have been in planner funks for sure! Gone months not really planning just making a to do list. Sometimes ya just need a break. Which is hard when it’s a hobby you love. I am glad I could help 😆😆

[@katsmith8263]

Well, I can't carry the personal

[@Beverlyplans]

That thing can get very heavy 😳😳

[@katsmith8263]

Put smaller rings in there

[@Beverlyplans]

Ya I think it will definitely help 🙌

[@chasing_stardust]

Hi thanks for the video! I need your opinion what is the softest leather binder available? I made a high priced purchase last year for a leather a5 hobo cover and it is sooooo heavy and hard I used it 2023 and put it away ! I need another one but I want soft leather don’t want to make another costly mistake !

[@Beverlyplans]

I am gonna say some kind of travelers notebook maybe? Which one did you buy? Maybe one without pockets? That adds a lot of weight.

[@nickkyvictory948]

why should these beauties bother you? i use one for my smaller bags for notes and my bigger as an EDC. dont worry yourself 😜

[@Beverlyplans]

I’m using the personal exclusively for the moment 🤷‍♀️ we shall see how it lasts 🤣🤣🤣
