This is the most relatable video I’ve seen on planning! Ive done the over-eager birthday/holiday fill ins so many times and regretted it! I love your system for streamlining monthly layouts

[@plan2create]

Oh, that makes me so happy to see! Glad it was relatable and I hope you're moving into your new 2023 system with a whole new confidence!

[@christinelanoue8935]

Wow so helpful! Thank you for looking at my monthly boxes in a different way!

[@plan2create]

Thank. you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

What a smart video idea!! Love your explanation as well! And I want to see a flip of you cousin at the end of this year!😍😍

[@plan2create]

Aww, thank you Kan! Glad you liked the video. 💕

[@theodora7885]

Happy New Year! Your monthly set up have been super helpful. Looking forward to January 2023 videos!

[@plan2create]

Yay! Thank you!

Love this video, rewatching it again. Would love to see any updates after implementing this process to see if you change how anything works :)

[@plan2create]

Great idea! I'll share how it's working for me soon.

There are some great ideas here. I’m moving away from icons too, but I like the idea of using just dots. That’s a benefit of a bound book, the weeks are all there to use and write on anytime! And I’m loving my pencil right now too. Off to draw some calendar boxes…

[@plan2create]

we'll conquer the world with our pencils! :) hope you'll share what you come up with, Steph, and yes.. i love a dated book bound for the ability to forward plan... I just need to figure out my plan first. hahahah

This was super useful. Having a set space allocated to appointments, travel etc makes sense. Agree totally about using printables, I too don’t really ever reprint but it’s nice having the option. I do however print off a 2nd copy which I use for pre planning.

[@plan2create]

Now that's smart - start it off with two copies!! I like it!

I loved this video, Julie! I crave the same organization in my planners. Love the monthly box template, you’ve inspired me to do something similar! Most of all, I adore your videos! Love learning from you and seeing your fabulous personality come through on video❤️😘

[@plan2create]

Thank you so much for watching, Connie!! Honored to think an expert like you could learn anything from me. xx

[@staciedawn8287]

This video was so good! I always struggle with wanting things more consistent on my monthlies. I love how you mapped out the boxes. Im definitely going to do this!

[@plan2create]

Oh yay, Stacie! So glad the video was helpful. 😊😊 I’m feeling more peace heading into my new planner with this plan. 🤓🤓

[@houserdiane]

Awesome video especially for beginning planning and planners. I’m starting to include “notes/memory” pages. That way I will have just a wee bit of wiggle room.

[@plan2create]

@@houserdiane Thanks, Diane!

[@laurajane1900]

Great video and yes it made total sense!! Also please tell me your nail colour, it’s beautiful!

[@plan2create]

Thank you, Laura! That was a powder gel color from the salon… I don’t know exactly what color. 😆

I like to use Frixion pens because they are erasable. Im not quite ready for permanence so they help me to feel less anxious about messing up. Also, where did you get the note/ subject pages and the corner flags.

[@plan2create]

Yes, Linnesha! Frixion pens are a great workaround - I used to use them all the time but for some reason now I feel like they write too thick for me. I'm weird like that. ;) The little notepad is from The Planner Spot and the corner flags are either hers or from Paperie Planning. Both shops are linked in my desc box - but I'l add the notepad! Thanks for asking!
