It feels like it’s been a long time coming, honestly – I … More Planning a closet overhaul – Part 3
One of the things that I struggle most with is making sure my planning works for others. Allow me to explain. When I was a teenager, I worked at an establishment with a highly organized boss. However, her organization system, while extraordinarily detailed and theoretically wonderfully effective, existed only in her head. This accomplished two … More Making your planning work for others
For my birthday a few weeks ago, my boyfriend gave me a Van de Spek Junior Touch Me in brown. I’m using it as my wallet (using the system described in this post), and I love it! It’s soft, floppy, full of pockets, smells wonderful (all the things everyone says about VdS binders!), and it … More A Day in the Life of my VdS Touch Me Junior

Looking through some old papers, I recently came … More Letting a planner plan itself
I almost had a major moment of planner fail this week, on Monday. My life has been rather hectic lately between work, social events, a weekend course I’m taking, and moving into a new apartment (oh, and also, battling a determined cold). Last weekend, I didn’t have even a moment to sit down and breathe, … More The side effects of tracking in your planner
You know the expression, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? Well, this month I decided to completely ignore that advice and try something new in my planning: daily pages. After seeing so many people’s daily pages with everything (meals! must/should dos! appointments! exercise!) planned out so wonderfully, I decided I should give it a … More An update to my planning: daily pages
