Planner Setup

It seems that paper is making a huge comeback!  Penpals are everywhere, planners and journaling take up most of my IG feed lately.  I'm lovin' it!

I've always been a write-it-on-paper kinda gal, so I'm totally stoked to see I'm not the only one.  For the past few years I thought I was living in the stone ages, while everyone else passed me by with their gadgets (of which I am very fond, I just prefer paper).

I may be a couple of weeks late (most people are sharing their planner/journaling setup the first few days of the year), but here's my setup.  Better late than never, right?

I work with a monthly view and a week-on-two-pages view.

The monthly view has birthdays outlined in orange, and holidays outlined in blue. 

Weekly is pretty straight forward. I write my to-do list and appointments each day, ticking them off as I complete them.

One thing I am going to do differently this year is a weekly goal.  Something(s) that I want to accomplish above and beyond my usual to-do list.  The items can be something for myself, or something to organize this massively chaotic house.  It could be anything, or nothing.  These are the goals that I would like to meet, but won't it won't be the end of the world if I don't.

I also have tiny notebook (thank you, Target dollar aisle) for my work notes, as well as a notebook for my blog stuffs, and one for my Bible journaling.  I mean, why not make it more complicated, right?

I don't have much in the way of washi tapes or cutesy paper clips, so those will be added later, if I find that they are needed.  I like clean lines and minimal clutter, so I'm still on the fence about the clips.  I think they are so cute, and I envy those planners that are bursting with color and ribbons and cute, but I think they would just end up in a drawer or something.  We'll see.

Well, I hope you enjoyed our little walk through my planner. 

Do you have a planner system you'd like to share?  I'd love to see!!
