My Planner Chaos - filofax personal holborn 

I think your right, I have way to much going on in my planner. I think this quarter will be me going back to basics and building back systems that actually work for me. The weekly I made for July has everything I need except tracking my mood which I am trying to figure out this weekend. I tried to tip in the A6 notepaper for dailies but I found that I was not fully utilizing the weekly because of it so I took those out. I also decided to move my journaling to a separate journal. I found that I didn't share things because I was afraid of people seeing it, so I decided that I would have a private journal. There are a few other things I used those dailies for that I need to work out where they go but, it is all a process. On another note, I was looking at ordering sticky notes through vista print as well. I would love to talk to you about how that worked out for you. I made my own designs but I was nervous about the safety area around the edges. I didn't know if I should fill in the full space or work within that guarded area. I know they are not the most cost effective but I am growing very tired of printing my own and it is almost worth the cost at this point lol. Can I just say I love your planner and your videos. I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been re-watching them multiple times. Thank you so much for making your videos and sharing your ideas with all of us. And thank you for trying to help me through this rough patch. I greatly appreciate your input and am excited to utilize your ideas :) Also, I am absolutely in love with your handwriting. I wish my chicken scratch looked anywhere near as beautiful as your gorgeous cursive.

@watchbeccaplan Thank you for the compliments! 😊 As far as Vista Print goes, I'd stay in the margins when printing because if you don't it could print funky, but they always show a preview of what it will look like before you submit. Honestly, it was worth the money because with the weekly trackers, I was able to get 50 sheets on that one order, and it has helped so much. I think I spent 25.00 for 3 different functional sticky notes, but overall, it was better than me doing it myself because sometimes they wouldn't print right or I cut it wrong so just doing this via Vista Print was a life saver. Also, thank you for sharing your planner and making video's! It's a breath of fresh air to NOT see the full deco planner videos or the name everything in my planner video for a change. I appreciate the authenticity in your content.

I am slowly getting used to this idea. I guess my brain thinks a full page = I was productive when im in dailies. But it is just stress and unfulfilled tasks lol.

oh I love that idea. I used excel to make all my half letter inserts and it was amazing. It is a great program if you love boxes. Canva just doesn't do it the same lol.

It is a really nice addition, except i am finding random stickers have wondered away from their home every once in awhile. They still stick so its not that big of a deal to me but concerning. It could also be the transparent sticker paper I use for them since I print my own ( I absolutely hate it and I am just trying to use it up). Thank you for your encouragement It is greatly appreciated and needed :D

I usually do switch to another size when this happens but then archiving my inserts for the year is a pain in the butt lol. So this year I am trying to stay in one size and make it work. Which is much easier said then done. I have been trying to just make inserts to change what my brain isn't liking instead of switching sizes to something else. It has gone pretty good so far this year. I usually wait until the end of the month or the end of a quarter to change so I don't have to archive multiple inserts with the same information. Maybe my brain has been craving change and I just wont entertain the idea until the end of the quarter and then I go nuts LOL

I think your right. Maybe just while we don't have so much going on I will stick to monthlies and weeklies. Then in quarter four when things pick up again I can re-visit the idea and bring them back if need be. Last year at this time I moved to a pocket since I didn't have so much going on but I hated archiving those and FCC size inserts which created my need to stay in one size this year. Thank you for the suggestions, sometimes its really nice to talk things out with people who understand. I greatly appreciate your comments :D

I used to switch to pocket in the summer when I had less going on but then as soon as the school year starts I would be right back into personal size/fcc. I am trying to avoid that this year and saving myself all the time and energy transferring all that information for only a few months. I have never stayed in pocket size very long and I am trying to beat my brain at its own game LOL. I knew this was going to be the hardest time for me and I am trying to remember that this is a tool for me to make my life easier and transferring all the information I need to have, is not. I really hate transferring and rewriting all that information but a new fresh setup is so nice. Maybe I just need to completely redo my whole setup in this Filofax and start fresh with a new way to do things.

This is the hardest thing for me in my planner. It is why I loved bullet journaling so much because I could fill a page to the max. Sadly bound books are not a good fit for me. This is something that I am trying to get past and hopefully I will be able to :)

I just got my first set of oli clips and I LOVE them so much! the large one I stick on the front of my cover and it goes through such thick stuff its amazing!
