For me it’s ONLY about making my life easier. I don’t need it to entertain me. If a planner is too complicated, too cluttered, too much work to maintain, then it causes anxiety instead of helping me. It has to be simple but do its job. I don’t have time for stickers and fluff...I just want it to keep my life organized. And like you Carrie, the mechanics have to make sense specifically to me. Thanks.
So....I haven't watched planner videos in a long time. I haven't had the free time on many levels to engage. And, this is fabulous...even if I am watching several months later. I am in planner crisis/meltdown...or I was... I am familiar with ruts/funks. I've had them before and can Identify them pretty well. For me it's always about me and where I am and considerably less about the planner. My system worked and it had for year...the same system...with periodic ruts. However, removing COVID, which messed with us all, I've had a lot of big life changes that have impacted my roles and how I need to interact with them. And that has left a pretty smooth-running system with a lot of holes. But, it is still about me. I actually am finding myself in a place of unplanning as some of my roles have changed so drastically, I'll never return to those places...I'm not supposed to (graduating kids). I'm enjoying the different place of learning how to navigate and this state of life. But, I am skipping off to watch the other videos in this series. They will be helpful.
Carrie, by far; this has been THE BEST information regarding Planner Rut vs Planner Funk! Yes and Amen! Exactly! To everything. Most times it’s not the planner itself, it could be how you’re feeling. Period.
Great video! Very informative, and I absolutely agree with all of your points and how you look or diagnose the symptoms of being in a planner rut. Thanks for sharing! 💛
Another superb video Carie. "The rut is the symptom" love it and looking forward to the trigger list. Thank you for jumping in on this collaboration yet again.
I would love a goal setting video from you for 2022. The basics, how you decide what goals to work on, and your thinking on how to achieve that goal, etc. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷
