For me personally, I wish I would have known that keeping multiple planners is hard work. It makes me stressed and overwhelmed. It makes me feel guilty for missing a day, a week, a month… I can work with 2 planners but adding a 3rd and a 4th is too much for me. I better get the most out of the two that I’m actually keeping up with. 😅
Im not sure why i watch this but I've always struggled with planner, being both Adhd and autistic. Needing structure but gets bored easily. Bullet journal is too flexible, a pre printed gets too much same after a while. I have no idea how to solve it and what would really help. I'll just continue to watch all the journaling videos forever
I was in Franklin Covey A5 Rings for about 15 years, then Half-Letter Size Discs (Circa) for about 10 years where I used printables or drew my own spreads--by far the most economical! Now I want to down-size into smaller, more portable, so I am looking at A6 blank notebooks or Field Notes. I resisted the temptation to purchase different printed planners because blank notebooks give me the freedom to organize my pages the way I want. I am so glad I found content like yours, so I didn't overspend. I consider all the pros and cons of various setups and decided to stick with minimalists layouts with just a little deco (mostly washi tape and rubber stamps.) I love the homemade/DIY vibe and having no wasted pages! I still watch flips of all different types of planners, though because I still get ideas from them all! Thanks for sharing your insights!
mini ring planners.... not cool. The rings get in the way and the writing space is just so small...the combination does not work for me. I can use mini field notes books, mini notebooks. But rings and small pages are a no-go for me. I wish I wouldn't have wasted my money on tiny agendas and ring bound planners that I thought I would take with me. I found them so annoying to use I never took them anywhere. My perfect "right now" system is a type of bullet journal for Monthly/weekly planning that I can draw the lay out myself. I can switch it up whenever I need to vs. having something pre-done for me that I get tired of. And I have a small notebook that i keep in my bag. I can jot down any and everything in there. Then double check my agenda when I'm home.
I have gone through purchasing 4 different planners in the last few months to no avail! I wish I had this video before all of that lol I learned the hard way on your tips of what to look at before purchasing. 😩
I purchased the Midori Hibino to use this year…I didn’t use it consistently. I wanted an EDC in A6 and although I love the space I get with the 2pages per day, it had no weeklies and it was so big I couldn’t find a cover for it. When I finally did it just wasn’t practical to carry around because it was so big n heavy, plus I still needed to carry an extra notebook for my weeklies and to habit track and for notes. It was just too much. I chopped it in half and started using it in july. Am loving it now that I can carry it around. Plus it was so fat right out of the box that it made it difficult to open and comfortably writ in it because one side was so high and the other so low. To top it off I had never spent more than $15 on a planner so not using it caused guilt and anxiety lol. But I got over it. How else was I gonna learn what I want, like, need?
Sometimes you do have to just buy the planner to understand how it works...in part two, I discuss how you can do that but not spend as much money on it. I looked into the Hibino a while back. It's cute, but I knew that two pages per day meant a huge book...If you're going to carry your planner with you, a small planner or notebook is more practical.
@@gm64709 Honestly, 3 of us in my family use planners (all different with different types of paper), and we all came to the same conclusion over the course of several years and using lots of pens ... we all love Bic ballpoint pens. Yep, the cheap version, bought in bulk at school time.
