McBenny you have all 4 planners inside the black case? I love it! Yes in the planner community its called frankenplanning. I have 3 months of my regular one. Usually a month before or month after. Then one month from wellness, business and budget. I use dashboards as dividers. I will post a pic. |

McBenny I was thinking that you had more months in there and figured it would be awfully thick. My H bought me the big size instead of classic, so with the extra space, I might use one of the squares as a gratitude /wellness journal

I started using a planner Jan 1 (prepared for about a month before). So far it’s been incredible at keeping me on track and feeling good about a few areas. I’m new so I don’t have a separate planner for each area but it’s a big one so I use it for wellness, budget, food plan, schedule, etc.
I plan out spending and chores, my house has never been cleaner and budget wise things are good, no spend January is on track aside from two bdays I had planned for.
This board was inspiration!

I’m on my 3rd b10 dot grid planner. I like the creativity allowed.
I’ll take a picture tomorrow.
I coordinate with a large calendar on the wall in the living room, because H is the worst and refuses to acknowledge digital calendar.

I've been following this Household Declutter/Organization Calendar this year. So far I feel it's working & I'm only investing 10-15 minutes a day. I do it during commercial breaks in my evening tv.

This board was inspiration! I am totally jealous of the bolded. I need figure out a way to organize and plan out my chores.... I sat down and listed what needed to be done based on daily weekly monthly etc. Then looked over my week (I’ve been updating on sundays of past week didn’t work for one reason or another) and plan for instance Monday - wash bathroom, wash rags (bc I use them for bathroom), clear off hutch, vac hallway rug Tuesday- sweep front and back stairs, vac front back hall, clean pantry counters Wednesday- clean stove top, microwave, deep clean counters and sink in kitchen. Thursday I have appointment at night so I don’t plan anything Friday - wipe down bathroom not deep clean Every day is sweep LR DR kitchen and one load of laundry I typically will try to have a kid sweep as the other puts the toys away so I try to get out of the sweeping. Honestly I love crossing things off lists and that satisfaction really motivates me more than a clean house lol! Dh is like whoa this place is immaculate. Not like me at all and I’ll freely admit it so this planning this awesome! |

People think people plan due to busiest or to be busy. I plan to make better use of my time when I am doing things and now I have more time to sit on my ass. LOL
ETA - all my sections are in one planner as well

I found a list i liked on pinterest, then followed the idea of it, but made it fit what I needed to do. I dont always get everything done every day of the week, but I have a plan. It has really helped with laundry, since I used to let it all piled up until we had almost no clean clothes.  |

canteverremember I am the same way with crossing things off my list. If I forget to write something on my list, I will write it on there just to cross it off. 😂

Honestly it’s been life changing. My husband is like daily saying how great the place looks and I truly feel like I haven’t had this much “free time” in so long. And more importantly I feel more relaxed when doing nothing because I know my chores are done and I’m up to date, I always 100% of the time felt I should never be sitting because there so much to do and I’m so busy and omggg. But really now it’s planned, done, and that’s it. I have moved things around if something comes up but it’s really something. And I’m starting to drill into my youngest two about organization and such. Every morning was a damned mess with picking clothes and us all trying to get ready and out the door and I wanted to hand myself before the work day even started, now Sunday we will a multi drawer unit with a daily outfit for each girl for the week so every morning they just grab their clothes get dressed and move on. Life changing indeed! |

Ha I will remember doing something, realize it wasn’t on my daily weekly whatever list, and scribble it just to scratch it! The satisfaction can’t be beat. |

I’m using a Jibun Techo this year. Similar to a Hobonichi, just different brand. I’m loving the vertical layout and small size. The paper is pretty thin, so we’ll see if I get annoyed at ghosting. But so far I love it and would recommend it!
