My Planner Setup - Part Two - Home Management

[@mdj2742]

I love the fact that you use your planner to actually PLAN and not as a scrapbook for decorations and nonsense. This is a great video. Thanks for posting.

[@iramarvin9955]

@Ira Marvin instablaster =)

[@iramarvin9955]

@Emilio Kasen thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@iramarvin9955]

@Emilio Kasen It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass!

[@emiliokasen4553]

@Ira Marvin You are welcome :D

[@scnurse]

I love that binder! I can't believe how much those big rings accommodate!

[@calisongbird]

SC Nurse and FC also offers bigger 1.5” ring planners too! I have a few in both ring sizes.

[@kimreason9286]

Sophia, both videos are marvelous. Your planner is beautiful and functional. I think your one of the very best! You are so multi-talented.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Wow Kim! What a compliment! Thank you!

[@cooki10554]

Sophia, I love your planner and the way you have it set up! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas, and thank you for sharing the Dave Ramsey stuff!

[@mygreatchallenge]

you re welcome

[@HandmadeByHannah91]

I'm just setting up a planner that I want to work for me and I have been looking around for information. I think your videos offer the most comprehensive guide and detailed breakdown that I have seen. I have come away with a huge list of ideas that I want to adapt for my own planner. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you Ms H.

[@DIYfish]

The snowball idea is great. Hope to have a whole video about this. Thank you!

[@mimiandthemuse]

Hi Sophia, just wanetd to let you know I bought my Franklin Covey planner in classic chocolate brown and I love it. I Used to use Filofax years ago but I stopped using them for the cost. This one cost me around $89 complete with the day on two pages agenda and starter kit inserts. It is a great system and I am happy!

[@HBkaleecee]

Just got a Franklin Covey... very excited to set it up. The Dave Ramsey thing ,.. I am not so sure I could use that. I don't have any credit cards, my vehicles are paid for. I only have monthly living expenses, with nothing to pay off. Love all the little details you do to make your planner yours. I hope I can do the same for myself. Thanks for sharing!

[@MarietaQueta]

Congratulations, you are a lucky one! I guess you can work on the after-debt steps: investing & maybe saving for some fun stuff.

[@scruffy281]

You explained the finance part of this video perfectly! I understood it so well and it makes me excited to begin my own plan. Your planner is very well laid out. I got several good ideas from you that I am going to put to use in my own planner. Thanks so much for the advice! Great video!

[@aberdesign]

I love your planner Sofia....one of the best vlogs I have seen so far related to organized planners. Thankyou for inspiring and sharing valuable ideas. Very practical, functional and pleasing to the eye!!!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you!

[@briannab5296]

... "very practical, functional, and pleasing to the eye" ,. just like Sophia herself! 👍😉

[@tanyademillo8695]

Loved both videos, lots of great ideas! We've been doing Dave Ramsey for 2 years and it truly works! TFS

[@nurseb5755]

I really enjoyed this video. It gave me a lot of great ideas for redoing my planner. I also use a franklin covey planner- but it is a zippered one. I love, love, love how you tied the home management section in. I have a home management notebook but like the idea of having everything in one space.

[@mildredschaller2543]

Thank you new friend. I love to hear you speak and want to continue to follow you You tube posts. I have been using a day timer and it is not working, so I am glad to hear about your Franklin planner. It is especially important for me to understand how to manage my household if something happens to my husband. This may sound different especially since we are both in our 70's and retired, living on social security and a small pension. I want to be a better wife and be ready for anything. I enjoy all you posts. Keep up the great work.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Mildred Schaller I am glad to be of help/ You should check out my updated setup video, you may find it more practical for you.

[@lifeonthefarmwithkaren1483]

Thanks so much for sharing! I have the red Franklin like yours and am truly inspired by your video! Happy Planning, Kare

[@ireneny02]

Very fun! I want to set up my planner now! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Irene Figueroa Thank you

[@bevsshabbychicpaperboutiqu7174]

Thank you so much for sharing your planner with us. I'm a new planner girl and I want my planner to help me manage life and be a useful tool I to love Dave Ramsey I really want to get planner pages like yours, what a Wonderful idea everything in one place.you have awesome ideas

[@karenf.7481]

I am so glad I ran across your video...I really needed to get my home in order

[@mygreatchallenge]

+Karen F. good I hope this helped

[@narelleworks8448]

Thank you for sharing all of this planning you've done. Very impressive. In Australia, I discovered that the credit card I had didn't accept my twice a month payment. What I mean is the required minimum of $300 due on 30th of the month I was paying $150 on 15th and 30th of the month. I thought it a wise move both for not spending the payment and for reducing, even if slightly, some interest on the card. After I discovered I was paying a $20 fee for late payment 3 months in a row, I rang them. A lovely woman explained that unless I paid the minimum required ($300) on the expected date i will incur the charges, and of course extra interest on it. Naturally, paying the amount in full was an instant fix but not one I could do at the time. Splitting the payment over two weeks proved an unwise move. I assume that all credit cards are the same. I guess I am the last to know. I am also guessing it isn't a problem for you or anyone else?

[@LifeWithMJB]

This planner is well thought out. Great job.

[@iramos12]

I like this video, is very informative and ideal. The most important part is the Financial part. I try to doing the Dave's Ramsey Baby Steps, it a little hard but I commitment to do.

[@Chimaki1]

You gave me some great budget ideas!! Love the planner.

[@bettyjane8910]

Sophia, I love you! You are total inspiration! So glad I happened upon your "purse organization" blog, which led me here.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thanks Annie!

[@Christina4tier]

Thank you for sharing how you use your planner. :)

[@teresasalowitz5113]

wow I just recently found your videos on your 30 day challenge over the last week I have watched almost all of them you are such a good teacher you have so many wonderful ideas and I am new to this whole world planners blogs I would eventually like to have my own blog would you consider doing a video on how to get started on a Blog I think you're great I can never wait to see what you come up with next sending blessings

[@caesium94]

I really like your planner! It's so good organised, it's very detail and that's the main reason why I like it so much :) It was very inspiring, you gave me some ideas and that's just perfect because I'm in the middle of setting up my own planner :D

[@pedsrn2003]

I pay 25% on each of my recurring bills each week. Example: My cellular service is $80/month, so I pay $20 each week. That way I don't have large chunks of money coming out of my account at one time and, by the time the bill is due, it is paid. I actually have a credit balance on many monthly bills (gas, electric, water, cellular) so that, if I have to miss a month, I am not in arrears.

[@ultimatereward]

That advice at the end of your video was perfect! Use a system that works for you! :) So many great ideas! Good job!

[@kathycadile6421]

This is one great video. Saw the first one also and had to get the planner. Got it in blue. Got a good price as well. You explained everything so well. I had several planners previously but just can't seem to get them to work for me. I get all excited about using them and then don't follow through. I really need to have something to keep track of dates and other things and actually use it and make it work. Hopefully this one will work. I am anxious to download your pages too. Your explanations were very well done.

[@bethc1435]

Would like to see more on you Dave Ramsey system, your pages are great

[@snarkymom367]

Just subscribed...found your video most helpful and your voice most relaxing! Looking forward to watching past videos as well as new ones.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Snarkymom36 Thank you for visiting my channel. I hope you enjoy all videos, there is plenty to watch!

[@karenlebeter4196]

I like the separate home management section. I may add that instead of writing all over my 2 page per day area. I have my finance first in my planner.

[@belindamerrill4175]

Thank you so much Sophia. I got a ton of great ideas from you. i love your style.

[@ninamakeup5]

THANK YOU, DEAR ! MULTSUMESC (thank in romanian) ! It was so useful for me, to inspire for (finally) my new planner that i project now, to be for my personal needed, as creative person, to have enough space to write on it and ti find quickly my things to do... I never had a real planner, i want now to have, but first of all to find my own one, in my style and for my projects! I will try to do my best! I noticed some ideas from you, i find them so clear and so managed, of course, i will add more of my stuff and ideas, but you make me more clear how to do that on your video! You are very brave ! You did a very big work on your planner, i know, and you feel gorgeous about it and you are gorgeous! God bless you ! (may be my english is not so correct , but i hope you understood me)

[@karenf.7481]

I really need to set my home planner!!! ....you are doing fine.....and you make very good sense

[@mygreatchallenge]

+Karen F. thank you Karen

[@mummylifestyle]

Great video! Would love to hear more about your financial planning techniques!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thinking about doing a stand alone video on that!

[@karlaa.mascari167]

I love your planner set up! Thanks for sharing! Can you do a detailed video on the Ramsey's system you were mentioning in the 2nd part video? 😊❤️

[@DonnaDyble]

Fabulous planner & a really great setup. This puts my Domino personal video to shame :) Thanks for sharing.

[@ctraylor4733]

This video is awesome! Will you ever do the follow-up video regarding the debt snowball modifications? I seriously could use them. TFS

[@pambo99]

Love the video!! I would like to get more info on the small step for for your money sections. You mention that you wanted to make the pay period for you and your husband but the 3D dots did not work well. Have you looked into Mark it Dots. They are dot that are flat stickers, but they come in different colors and sizes. Check them on (i have found them on amazon).

[@TheDiana4527]

Love your planner Sophia. I bought a planner at Home Goods because it was so cute, but I'm not really happy the way it is set up in the inside. I'm thinking about purchasing a pocket size planner from Nikki Planner.

[@mygreatchallenge]

dl lome Watch out for pocket size they really are tiny!

[@Yvonneb_]

Great tips.Those sticky tabs look very good. I am in the UK I have looked for these is there another name for them because it doesnt seem to recognise what I am wanting. Thankyou for the great ideas. xx

[@analcalap00]

Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

[@scruffy281]

Since I watched this video for the first time I have been searching for that planner. It is no longer on the Franklin Covey website in that color or that size. I love the size of those rings. I agree with you that it makes a big difference when you are wanting to store quite a few subjects in it. Even though I dearly love my A5 Filofax Holborn I am getting close to a time where I will need more space. I would love to purchase the Boston model that you own. If you hear of ANYONE that carries that model in that size please let me know. Thanks again for a great video..... ; )

[@mygreatchallenge]

I thought I could find it for you on amazon, no such luck....sorry

[@whatsinmybag10]

A lot of great ideas! Thank you :)

[@Amentithewriter]

I love this one... keep them coming.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Amenti Thewriter thank you

[@briteddy9759]

I just ran across a couple of your planner videos. Yes, they are old, but I enjoyed them. Are you still using your planner? If so, maybe do a video on it again. I liked that you are not overdoing the stickers. I am interested in functional planning. The stickers makes the pages look nice, but not functional, at least not for me. But everyone to their own.

[@mygreatchallenge]

For 2023 I have two. A personal one (midori traveler s notebook) and a work one (filofax Finsbury) I keep them both simple and straight to the point. I don't have time for decorations, stickers etc.

[@JuliaLina83]

You had a good cleaning routine in those days, already "zoning" your house and having a full list of tasks (I'm not late in watching your playlists, I just rewatch them depending the subjects I need to work on) I could thank you for all my big projects in the house and add #SponsoredBySophia :'D

[@domino44a]

I love the snowball forms where did you get them??? I love some of your ideas!!!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thanks Teri. I will do a stand alone video on this subject this coming week end. Stand by!

[@amberd.mccammon1860]

I love the owls.where did you get them.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Recolletions brand at Michaels.

[@amberd.mccammon1860]

Okay I will try there to get some.

[@Patricia.R.]

Great ideas😉👍🏼

[@tsnell80]

Sophia, I can't find the spreadsheet that does each individual bill that shows the pay off date. I do see the snowball worksheet. did you modify it?

[@mygreatchallenge]

Yes, I did. I will do a full video on this section over the week end. hang in there!

[@vang3641]

Wow! Good for u! Looks like u have control over ur finances! I have a question if u don't mind... How long did it take u to do ur sheets for ur planner? Did u have to cut all the paper down to size ur self?

[@mygreatchallenge]

mine are perfect 8.5 x 11 so all I had to do was cut in the middle and punch. it did not take me long to create the template, after that it s a matter of filling the dates for each week.

[@StampWithBylle]

I downloaded the debt snowball but it doesn't do the calculations. Did you modify it ? Thanks for sharing

[@mygreatchallenge]

I will do a video this week end on how to modify it. Hang in there!
