I love that you’re filming and planning again. I really want to use this planner next year! No guilt, you need that time to recover, relax, reconnect and recharge so you can be more focused and present when you get back. ❤
Thank you Vicki! I think between working SO much with my last job and transitioning to my new position this year left me a little burnt out. But I need to plan for myself, adulting is hard without my planners 😂 I LOVE this layout- I have used the compact vertical in a Cloth and Paper and in this EC and it is such a great functional layout- I think you will like it!
Welcome back! I love how you created a work planner from various planner items. I’m an RN that does home health as well (not an NP). I have a mostly consistent case load. I use the HP dashboard and will print out my work schedule for the week and add it to the planner. I’ll write in changes and task to the planner sheets.
Thank you! That’s a great idea! Yeah, my caseload is mostly consistent too. I have about 300 patients right now that I see and so trying to remember to follow up on something is sometimes difficult to remember, so I really needed an organized space where I can write myself notes.
My fave used 2B the horizontal layout.But I recently discovered that I like the lined vertical.HP is my fave planner,bc they just get me.But I do have others.Not opposed to others by any means.I have like 4 EC.A Heather Kell planner one or two.But as of right not I’m really loving the vertical lined planner.I do watch this one lady on RU-vid & she uses an hourly.So I’m thinking of going N2 the deep & maybe checking out the hourly.Loved your video,& thx for sharing.
I live an hourly layout! It is really helpful for time blocking and (for me) recognizing how much time I actually have in a day and keeps my schedule more realistic.
So glad I found your channel, trying out my mini, moving from passport tn. I have a family care situation n found my digital planning wasn’t ideal, I felt that when with Dr appts, specialists etc not ideal to pullout phone to take notes, seemed I wasn’t paying attention or something, to looker on-ers. But I love your mini set up. What I did was I removed my rings from a Moterm personal lux cover n fit a mini in it snug but perfect. Tons tons tons of pockets n lil hide spaces for stickies etc. so no need for “folders & snap in pockets” Love it’s still good to throw in my mom’s meds bag when I’m running to Dr appts etc. Side note… I have tons of stuff I have to keep up with, as example, her sugar levels, meals (theyre checking her protein for kidney specialist), her blood pressures, other sleep apnea specialist, meds, etc. funny how the specialist don’t really exchange info with her normal health care provider, so if you have a simple idea to organize those with layouts and or inserts, I’m so lost lol 😂 thanks in advance to you or any of your subs.
Oh wow, first of all I’m sorry for my late response. Second of all hats off to you for taking care of a family member because I know from personal and professional experinece how mentally and physically exhausting that can be. I would say as a provider when you’re leaving the specialist offices, ask them to fax over their notes and lab work to, PCP. Hopefully that’ll help so the PCP has all the information. Second, I think that maybe a dashboard or a horizontal layout could be best. If you have one Planner for your family member then you can write their appointments on the monthly and then on the weekly portion, you can write any pertinent notes about the visit. You can also use the perpetual calendar at the front to keep track of appointments, important procedures, and or medication changes or new meds so when you open it, you can look at it all at once. Also, I highly suggest keeping a medication list of all prescription and non-prescription medications. You could print it and punch it and have a separate place in the back where that lives and that’s better to do on a computer and print out and punch it because then you can easily change it if a medication is added or dosage changed. Also, I think if you got a skinny note sheet and popped it into the month, you could use that to write down anything you need to follow up on so maybe you need to go back to get bloodwork or you have to send an email to a different specialist, you can easily keep track. Also, While I am a paper planner, I will say my mom does a lot for my grandma. She’s her medical power of attorney. She has an iPhone and in her notes app has kept all my grandma’s information. She has copies of her Medicare card, dates she’s fallen and if she had an injury, medication list, and dates medication(s) have changed and honestly it is the most useful thing because when she goes on vacation and I take care of my grandma. She has just shared her notes with me so I have access to all my grandmas information. So I feel like you could take a paper planner into appointments to jot down notes and then also organize it in the notes app in your phone as well. Best of luck!
@@FakeItTilYaMakeIt thank you so much for the great advise! Yea I’m going to have to combine digital & planner in hand. I’ve so found myself “not adapting” well to the paper in hand. Notes in the iPhone is sooooo much easier, lord help me if my technology ever fails 😂 I found, or finding should I say that using that online lab results app that doctors use here in Texas makes it easy to print results from there then I put that in a binder with page protectors, but I take a quick PDF scan thing n save in my phone gallery. I did consolidate my mini to one section for current Dr notes for appts. But I also explained to her doctors that I have pics in my gallery of her current meds, current level history, current diet history, etc that I use like 5 perpetual calendars (one for each thing to track) for all able to see at a glance. They seemed to appreciate that. They only have to review which applies to them. It also made it easier that I don’t have to tote a huge meds box around like I’m moving outta state 😂🤣😂😂 It’s a learning process I assure you lol. I so very much appreciate your advice. I’m going to see about seeing if the drs can do their notes as you suggested. I think I have a future as a court reporter as fast as I’ve learned how to write in appts lol. No worries about the late response, life is busy 😊 have a blessed day and thank you again so so much.
Good to see you! I was wondering where you went. I was a home care nurse for about 12 years.. loved it but am now on the non clinical side. Love you refresh line up! ❤
Thank you, life has been very busy this year and I have gotten off track. Definitely trying to get back at it! How do you like the non-clinical side? Hopefully, it offers some good work/life balance!
It isn’t as hot here as it is where you are Vicki and now that we have a pool it definitely makes summer more tolerable. Today there is 75% humidity 90, but the real feel is 95 I think 🥵
I thought it was interesting that you got the bold blooms stickers in the back of your canvas compact vertical planner. I wonder if that was a mistake.
I really love this planner. I’m thinking of making the EC switch next year to the compact vertical only I would want the punched. Thanks for sharing this! 😊
Yes, I felt the same way about both planners. The reading one is so pretty and the one with the boots is fun and colorful. I can’t wait to see what else is in this release.
Hello Katie, thank you for sharing this collection. I love the Sticker Book and the Accessory Pack. I am just more of a fan of the Neutral pages. The cover and dividers are pretty. The new season of Bridgerton is May 16th. It is a divided season and the second half begins in the summer, i think late June but not 100 percent. Oh we watched Queen Charlotte and it was very good. I hope that they do more shows like that. enjoy the rest of your week and Be Blessed.
Thank you Mary Jane! I thought I had saw a preview or write up that Bridgerton started this month, but couldn’t be 100% sure. I’m excited to watch the new season! I also like neutral pages in my planner as well. Thank you so much for watching!
Oh fun! I also love anything seasonal! It is a super cute planner, I didn’t have a chance to look at everything today but I’m excited to see what else they have in that collection. Thanks so much for watching Caitlin, I hope you make a video showing off what you picked up!!
I absolutely spend more when I go hungry! I love Trader Joe's! I don't often get to go though, usually not one around wherever we are, but when I do, I stock up on my favs for sure! Great haul!
Thank you Vickie, it is always a bit of struggle for me to be consistent. I really want to work out some type of schedule 🤞 I can get it together 😂 Also, it was great to meet you in person at Go Wild!
My financial advisor told me we should have ~ 3 months salary in savings to be able to cover emergency time off, loss of job, or any situation where either me or my husband wasn’t working!
Thanks for watching Katie, I would agree. I don’t think the $1,000 is enough, I think 3 months is probably minimum and that is hard for a lot of people to save up for, everything is so expensive now!
I adore your videos ❤ I've changed my word from a gendered word to say "Sweeties" instead. It was hard and felt weird for a while 😁 but for me it felt worth it. You do you ❤
I used to go to arizona every year when my great aunt was still alive (she passed away at 101 years old in 2017) such a wonderfull place. (I still went in 2018 and 2019 but then covid happened) scottsdale is gorgeous! Have fun. If you viait old town scottsdale i ca recommend 'the daily dose' for lunch and 'loco patron' serves a wicked carne asada!
