Midyear 2024 Planner & Journal Updates | Chatty Planner Updates

[@franbullington]

Love each component of your system! Glad you have found that elusive planner peace this year - what a blessing to find what you need for productivity and creativity! We are on Day 20 of a road trip that has taken us over 5000 miles. It all started when I saw a video of Shoshone Falls on FB. I knew I wanted to see it in person so our first sight seeing stop was in Twin Falls, Idaho. Then we revisited Yellowstone before going to Bryce Canyon in Utah. We then revisited the Grand Canyon before starting back home. Tomorrow we do a tour of Graceland and on Tuesday, Day 22, we return home. I highly recommend driving on US 89 South in Utah (how we went from Bryce to the Grand Canyon). The scenery along that road from approx. Kanab to a little past Page, AZ is unparalleled in beauty (IMHO). I would love to return and stay in Page for at least a couple of days.

Very helpful to know of some inserts that fit in the EC cover. Thank you!!!

The links in your caption section are awesome - easy to find the stuff that caught my eye. Thanks for all you do. I'm jumping back to an A5 after trying out the Hobonichi Weeks for the first half of this year. That would've been a great planner for a different season of my life but I'm finding the slim form factor/smaller size inhibits my sketching things out, and brainstorming, I'm also not as mobile as I thought I'd be. The new A5 can sit on my desk and I can mind-map sketches and stuff with ease. Thanks again for all you do.

I would love to see how you draw the art in reading journal

❤❤ your work journal, will start to use the same spreads next week! Feeling the same about getting back into reading! Also inspired by using the cousin for prayer & Bible study. I don't need all of it for planning, but I really see the benefit of how you're using the pages. Thank you, as always, love your channel. ❤

I just had my husband help me pull apart my Hemlock and Oak and put it on rings earlier this week. So far it is working pretty well and I think I have a plan for dealing with any negative issues I might have with rings this time around. If I ever go back to a TN though, it is nice to know those inserts from Amazon fit in the EC Petite Folio because I have one of those as well.

I just got the purple celestial notebook! Thanks for the recommendation!

I’d love to see how you use Notion.

I bought a rings to try for the next half of the year. My Hobo Weeks just wasn't cutting it. I really do enjoy the artistic side of BuJoing, even though I can't draw. Maybe I need to get back to BuJoing. It's been a struggle this year.

On your trip to the southwest, don't miss Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon.

Annie~ I could really use your help. I am struggling with trying to decided whether to use a separate planner for work and personal life. I am only going to be working 2 or 3 days a week. This makes me feel like I want separate planners. But- I will be traveling and opening up new stores for a business in different states. Thus, the reason I think one planner because on my non-work days I am very scheduled with things like tennis, pickle ball and bookclub etc. so, I will need something portable to be able to schedule personal things while on business. My children are grown so I am only tracking time home from college. I know I can make changes to my planner system but I would really like to make a pretty good guess at the start. I will be using your genius project planner to keep myself on track as each new store opening will be its' own "project". So, curious what you would do if it were YOU!!! Thank you for any insight!!

[@ghostyplans]

I’m not Annie, but I would do a separate notebook! Maybe use a Travelers Notebook and have a specific insert dedicated to work, and then an insert for personal. That way it’s all in one book, but the inserts separate the two aspects of your life. You could also do the same thing in rings. Just have a separate area for work and personal. Or you could use two different journals.

[@reneel2502]

@@ghostyplans Thank you for your thoughts!

[@PlanningAnnie]

Great question! One of the primary factors for me using a separate work and personal planner is the need to keep business confidential and sensitive info separate. I don't know if this is a factor for you but you may want to consider this. Thinking about each store opening as a project is genius and made me think about a travelers notebook system. One notebook for each store, maybe a notebook for overarching schedules. Could make store specific info easier to find and provide a dedicated space for action tracking for each project. Hope this helps!

[@PlanningAnnie]

Had the same thought about the traveler's notebook system! 🥰

How do you put the pictures of books in your reading journal?
