Updated 2019 Planner Set Up | Travelers Notebook

[@iluvmybangs]

I’m starting to see more and more of these “How I use my TN” videos and I am sooo thankful. I recently added a TN to my planner lineup for this year. I was exclusively using rings and was kind of lost when it came to TNs but I wanted to give it a try. (I’m hooked). I had to go back 3-4 yrs to see how others were using theirs since in the recent years I feel like everyone’s been mainly focused on the decorative aspect and not so much the functionality.

Same here; it’s hard to find “how” videos 😫

[@Daksina]

Love your daily pages Annie. They will be so lovely to look back on in the future. Great setup!

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

That’s one of the things I’m so excited about, they’re a memory keeper too. ❤️

[@09Klatu]

I love Jenny’s books! You are so organized! I really appreciate your videos!

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

Thank you ☺️

I just got my first TN style notebook yesterday!! I've been watching these videos and realized this style is perfect for my acting planner since it is so compact I can take it on set and to auditions and also use it as a wallet. I was having problems though finding the kind of inserts I need (submission tracker, audition tracker, work related expenses tracker) but your brilliant idea of just gluing the trackers on a blank page is brilliant! That's exactly what I'm going to do.

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

Yes they are perfect for traveling! I’m so glad this idea sparked a solution for you ❤️ Break a leg!

[@rebeckablevinscreativecrea3971]

Thanks for the set up video. My TN comes from Amazon tomorrow and you have given me some great tips on how to set it up.

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

Yay, new planner coming in the mail! That’s always so exciting!!

[@dianeleblanc2286]

Hi Annie! I enjoy your videos SO much. I liked your Foxy Fix TN cover so much that I ordered one for myself yesterday. Dark Brown Spice with turquoise stitching and elastic. I can't hardly wait to get it! I am inspired by your planner videos and they encourage me to be in my planner more. Keep making these videos and blessing my life!

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

That planner sounds pretty!

[@KimHughesRealEstateVA]

I enjoyed this video. I have decided to try the Travelers. Bought the Travelers from Designs By Planner Perfect and then order the calendar and Prayer Journal. I created another calendar that is more detailed for the month and I have moved everything from the Mini Happy Planner to this one. Those discs were driving me batty and I am not a fan out rings, so here we go. You gave me lots of ideas. Thanks.

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

I hope it works well for you ❤️

[@banda2323]

I love your functional setup. Planner perfect has beautiful books. Your idea of using a journal for your daily for multiple months instead of a new book each month is great. I can't afford them monthly. I may have to rethink my system. Thanks for sharing!

[@banda2323]

Do you write in morning routine or is that a sticker?

[@autumnsapples6]

I'm curious, can you share why you prefer strings over rings? Is it because of the size? Would love to see a video on how you approach archiving your used planner tn books and your ring inserts (from when you used rings).

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

I think with strings it feels more like a notebook. And that is what I’m drawn to more 🤷‍♀️. I store my inserts in a box on my shelf. The TN books are just placed in there; the ring inserts I usually tie together with string like an old-fashioned bundle. I did do a video on that a looong time ago. It’s still on my channel.

[@autumnsapples6]

Thanks Annie. I'll check it out.

[@littlebirdie2]

Wonderful flip & planning guide & ideas!! Loved it... new sub;))) This is more like the planning style I intuitively gravitate towards! Refreshing! A stnd TN also has always felt so right. Thx for your time in sharing this! & I PMd you about your TN...hahaha! ~ Terry Y.

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

Thank you so much for subbing! It’s a joy to talk planners with you all ☺️

[@onajourneylife2242]

I wanted to like this 100 times! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

Awwww thank you!!

[@lynnbarnett5548]

Can you do a planner video out of a small notebook

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

Did you see my pocket rings planner video? Was that helpful at all? I’ll look into making a video as you request ☺️ In the meantime, try these old ones from my channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roqum42niLiVrLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnKUhZaaqq52aJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYS2gmiZg8uAiqM

Since you started ordering your groceries instead of going to the store, have you done a video where you talk about how you keep track of your budget with Dave Ramsey's system? I follow Dave Ramsey's method and use the Every Dollar Budget app/website, but would like to be tracking it in my journal in some way. I'd love to see your ideas.

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

I do plan to show my finances soon. But basically I use a checkbook register and write the amount each week for food and keep a running balance.

[@lindseypoe2573]

I love this so much! So functional and still fun to plan in and flip through. I’d love to see a video on busy activities and how you plan stuff like that for the littles not yet in school. Totally selfish motivation too 🤣💕

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

I’ll add it to my KZbin list, it’s a great idea!

[@track1009]

Another brilliant video👍👏👏

[@Joy2Plan]

Love your thought processes and all of the inspiration! Thanks for sharing! Joy2plan ✨❤️✨

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

Thank you so much!

[@MarcellHobbs]

Bummer...6:03, I noticed the boxes of the first week of April have half of writing space taken up with day of the week headers. They should have put that on top. I’ll stick to my personal BuJo style.

[@judyamarose9041]

Where did you get your calendar inserts? Sorry, it may be right in front of me, but I can't find it! :)

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

They are linked in the description box; the website is called Designs By Planner Perfect. ❤️

[@KandyG]

Absolutely brilliant! You took what you love about rings and adapted it to strings. I can't stand loose paper because I'm clumsy and bound just seems neater. I saw a video where someone dropped their planner and rings popped open and paper went everywhere. Not that it can't happen in strings but less likely and less messy. But obviously personal choice and everyone is different. For me I love the squish and feel of strings in my hand. Also bound paper makes me feel more secure. I have a home discbound planner but I found I never take out the pages or move them around. Thank you for sharing, you are always a joy to watch and learn from.

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

I know exactly what you mean, there’s a feeling when you hold strings and bound books that I love 💕

[@Andi.Plans2]

I still can't figure out how to get the FPU system to work for my husband and I 🤯😭😭😭 We have too many bills(6credit cards included😔), and I can't figure out how much we owe, and when they're all due...I'm frustrated

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

Oh don’t stress, friend!! I’m sending you a hug. Are any of the resources on their website helpful? It might be worth it to purchase a book to follow. It may seem daunting, but I know you’ll get it straight and knock out that debt 💪🏻

[@katiejessup3379]

What size did you get for the planner perfect inserts?

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

I get size “narrow” on the Designs By Planner Perfect website.

[@nmehtab]

What size is this?

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

This is a standard or narrow ☺️

[@09Klatu]

Oh my I love Cocoa Daisy too!

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

Their stuff is beautiful!

[@reneep.627]

Wonderful video!! Thank you for sharing!! So much inspiration ♥️

[@maritzaperez4640]

Love the new layouts!
