I love your weekly spread with the MITs. 👍

Thank you! I'm glad you love the weekly spread with the MITs. I think focusing on the Most Important Tasks really helps keep things organized and productive.

Enjoyed seeing your shop open again. I'll be ordering soon! I've become even more simple than this but it's nice. I think that's why I love the dashboard layout so much. Really enjoying the content again.

@someOtherTexan I’m so glad that you’re enjoying the content! It sounds like you’ve found a great balance with your simplified planning system and dashboard layout. I’d love to learn more about how you are using your dashboard layout for simplified planning if you are comfortable sharing. It could be really inspiring for others too!

@@PersonalizeMyPlanner well with the dashboard layout, I just make sure the categories I use to stay on track are included. If I find one with a theme I enjoy, it's even easier because I just use the decor that's included. I'm ok with 2-3 little images between two pages and no more though. I am mostly a list person so I list appropriate info for the categories I need each week. I do this on the weekend before to stay current. I do one monthly with bills, birthdays and appointments just before the month starts. For the birthdays and appointments, I usually flip to the weekly before the month starts to label the day too. This is for my main catchall planner. I do have a separate budget planner for tracking in detail. I have a separate home planner for organizing cleaning and meal plans. The square many use to list dinners, I use to list one daily gratitude. For dinners, I have a divider summarizing weekly plans in my catchall. I move sticky notes on and off. Then I also have a small routine section in my planner so I don't write that stuff weekly. I've been putting preplanning in my phone lately but I prefer your monthly list system. If I know something way in advance I put a sticky note on the appropriate monthly planner page and a reminder in my phone calendar.
