In busy seasons of life, I use daily inserts as needed, but these days I’ve just been focused on monthly and weekly planning. We use a big wall calendar for family things on a monthly basis and then I have my own monthly inserts for myself (where I track the things on our family calendar), as well as a separate monthly planner for my content since I schedule my shoots to happen in a way that doesn’t create my family impact. These days, weekly planning is a week-at-glance with any major events, meetings, etc. and a running To Do List. I’ve set up an evergreen weekly cleaning and content schedule so always know which days of the week what tasks I need to get to in addition to any to dos for that week.
I have a large monthly calendar on our fridge for everyone to be able to see and a large monthly in office at work (because when I'm telecommuting I have access to the big calendar on the fridge). I use a bullet journal with a rolling week to track weekly tasks and daily tasks. Anything that is day specific or has a specific deadline is placed on the day on my weekly spread and any habits I am tracking or tasks that need to be done that week but necessarily on a specific day go in the task list. Then I just mark what day I did or worked on those tasks over the week. I also have a mini version of the big monthly calendars in my bujo too!
I love this system! I especially always love hearing how everyone uses (or chooses not to use) a big monthly calendar, honestly they are my favorite!! 😊
I’m so happy I’m not the only one who also uses sticky notes to pre-plan! I really like how you set up your schedule and its a great reminder that i don’t need to pack mine with things
Love it, thanks! I have the Appointed Co. Weekly task planner. on the right page of the spread they have a huge to do list and I use that kind of like you use your sticky note, to add throughout my week later. Thanks for sharing!
I won't lie - I saw those in Target the other day and definitely thought, "Plan with Laur would love those!" Sign 111 I have been watching too much planner RU-vid! 😂🤣😂🤣
Love this planning style, it works so well for me. I think I found this video a couple of months ago, and I've been implementing parts of your strategy. My question is, do you also implement this into a google or outlook calendar?
