Telling Other People about Your Planner



I know that there are other people out there that want to talk about their planners all the time.  To tell everyone how great and keeps you organized AND you get to be creative! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have Instagram’s or Facebook accounts talking about them, being part of groups… all that.

Then there are the people who just don’t get it… What do you do? The nice thing is that the planner community is a positive one with very little “trolls” or rude people, we all know that there are some, for the most part though, it is a group of empowering women who support one another.

I do bring a planner with me almost everywhere I go, I leave it on my desk, bring it to meetings and appointments.  I WAIT for people to ask me about it or be interested in it; then I let loose! I have a few people who I have brought along my path with me. I am a little proud when they show me their new planner and talk about their stickers.

I don’t expect others to feel the same way I do though.  My husband and son, while they accept what I do, still think it is a little weird that I want to stop at every craft store for stickers and see what new places have. I am thankful that they are willing to go on this journey with me and will check out separate from me so I can get a bonus item at 60% off!

The good thing is I really do feel that planning can improve your life.  You can decorate as much or as little as you would like. I also think it helps you make some new friends!

Addendum to Meal Planning

So, I was planning last night and as I work on my planner I also watch You Tube videos to get inspiration.   As I am flipping through the people, I see that Kell of Plan has a Meal Planning Video, it has changed my way of thinking about meal planning! She gave me inspiration and I am excited for planning my meals for this next MONTH! Check out her video here … So instead of using a mini page and drawing out my month, I created this printable for 2 months’ worth of planning. Just print 2 sided, flipping on the short side if you can, otherwise having 2 sheets will work too.   Just trim them down to size and viola; you are good to go! I liked her idea of trimming the post-it’s to fit in the squares and then you can move them to your planner if you wanted, or you can write it directly on the calendar itself. Can’t wait to see if this changes my life! J

Don’t Let Others Bring You Down

Sometimes I feel like an empath; like that, I can let other people’s behavior change my mood.   I am trying not to let these things affect me so much, not let other people dictate how I feel or my attitude.   I have some strong personalities at work.   Some people that think that the world is against them and then others that look at the positive side of life.     I lean towards the positive people so that I don’t think of negative things.   I tend to try to pep those naysayers up; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. When I look at my sticker books, I can tell I am a fan of the positive quotes.   I will get home from a shopping spree and find that I bought the same quote book I had trips back.   I even look through all the stickers while I am shopping to see if this is what I want.   I figure that I cannot have too many quotes pumping me up. I think those little reminders around you help make or break your day.   If I feel d...

Do What Brings You Joy!

As I flipped through Instagram there were many times when I doubted my talents, and myself and I questioned whether I should continue to do these things. The good news is that since I started my planner Instagram I have felt more empowered and have gotten such positive feedback on the things I do.   I remember telling my husband I was going to start my page and he said don’t take anything personally.   I promised that I wouldn’t, and I believe that he has prepared himself for the worst.   Luckily, this group of people are a wonderful group and for the most part, live by the golden rule.     Starting planning has really made me start thinking about things differently and I am starting to try things that I haven’t done for YEARS. I am drawing again, I practice hand lettering and feel like I can actually do it, and it is all making me a better person and want to be a better mom.   My son has started to want to play and make things with paper and I ha...
