How is your planning going?

[fosterlove]

I have been horrible, I don't know if it is the weather or my life struggles, but I can't seem to make time to keep up on my planner and I am feeling the effects. How are you doing? I might need to buy a new one and have a reset.

I am still doing me. Let me post a pic and maybe give you inspiration.

[Deleted]

I’ve been sick so I haven’t touched it in 2 weeks but I’m hoping to get back on track this week.

[Cheshie6]

I haven’t had time! Between going to see my mom, training, toddler, etc. it’s fallen thru the cracks. I’m hoping that now that DH is Home I can knock out a month or two and all I have to do is weekly stickers to fill in.

[McBenny]

I will say for me, I have to make time. It helps my mental. When I don't, I am not as productive and calm etc.

that being said, some weeks I do more decorating than others.

[gingy]

Still good here. My everyday is just the notebook and pen, so nothing special. I keep meaning to post my budget planner here. Maybe I'll work on May tonight and take a photo before I add in the numbers.

I've spent more time lately on DS's Project Life book and just started Bible journaling. So that's where I'm putting my creativity at the moment.

[Nonniedee]

I'm doing ok. I have crazy busy weeks from now until July, so I can't afford to fall off. A friend of mine is making me some Ramadan stickers, so I'm excited about that.

I want to get into Bible Journaling but I need to get a site or something for guidance. Basically I don't know where to start. I really wanted to do it for Lent.

I know you love YouTube, so check out Illustrated Faith.  They have several women with different styles who show their processes.  I'm going to start a devotional and use it as my structure for journaling.

that was my intention too. I would prefer a devotional online but I might have to buy something.

[snuff9861]

I haven't had time. Between the 18 m sleep regression and the 4m sleep regression/super needy baby, I've done nothing but attempt to get some child or another back to sleep for weeks.

I hit up our local Lifeway store. They price match to Amazon. I believe there are also some devotional apps, but many are paid.

I've also fallen off my planning which has been impacting my productivity. I normally do my planning at work, but my schedule has been so crazy that I've skipped the last few weeks.

Maybe some pretty spring themes will spark my motivation again. Any suggestions?

[cdnfroggy]

Thanks for tagging me! My planning is going ok, I'm no longer ahead of myself (I basically do the upcoming week layout on saturday/sunday) which is starting to bug me, I just need to set time aside to get a few weeks done. I've been focusing more on how it looks (themes etc) then anything else, which is great, but not practical all the time.

McBenny, i just bought a bundle of e-docs/books/printouts etc, and I think there may be a Bible journal one in there, if so, would you like me to send it to you?

Thanks for the offer. I have where to write them I just needed some structure with it.

McBenny, no problem! Let me know if you change your mind

I am not. I just bought an ultimate bundle thing of various e-books etc. and there's a whole section on faith/bible and there's a couple different bible journal printouts and planning tools included with it and I won't use them.

I will take them off your hands if you have no plans for them.

[McBenny]

Let me say this, I will go ahead and note bills, meetings, appointments and things like that but I don't always have the time to do washi and stuff. I also like to put a quote on there that I find inspirational.

I have let it slide a bit since going on vacation. My schedule has been crazy. I am hoping to get back to it because I really did find it helpful.

[klw]

I enjoy it when I have the time to enjoy it. (If that makes sense) I used to work on a week or 2 after DD goes to bed. But lately, I have been heading to bed myself. I do my weekly spreads, but lately it is quick on the weekend before.

[CestLaVie]

I need to buy a happy planner. I bought the Danielle Laporte one and hourly is not my jam. I like the hourly I have for work but only because I need to track billable hours.

My last bujo spread was from November 😱.

I had a certification exam that zapped all my energy since them. But I passed it last Wednesday and I’ve been crafting and planning in the evenings since! So glad to have my time back.

Me too. I have gone 4 months without decorating but definitely not 4 months without a planner! Couldn’t survive lol.

I’ve been using my good old plain work Timanager since January.

[justkeepmoving]

I plan but it’s not always pretty. I’m keeping up with a pen and paper.

[loony]

I am still pen and paper, with the occasional tape or shaded banner.

I really need to set aside time to actually look at it though. I’m working more days now, so those three days I look and plan my work hours, but then I don’t touch it for three days.

I have kept up with a three line journal since January though. Three lines a day of things to remember, things we did or setting intentions for the day. It’s the first time I’ve ever been able to keep up with any regular journaling and I’m really proud of myself.

[loony]

The one spread I actually have kept up on is my book challenge. I’m pretty happy with it and the outcome so far. 16/40 so far!

[mischief]

I am doing terrible TBH. But my sister just got me a new notebook that Im going to get set up, and then I also got a doodles book from Usbourne when we ordered books for the kids that I am going to turn into a collections journal.

H is likely getting ready to start a new job that will involve a bit of travel so Im trying to buckle down and get into a routine before that happens and I need to remind myself a planner will be super helpful for keeping my stress down.
