THIS $1 PLANNER HACK WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE 🤯🗓️ #shorts #shortsmas

[calisongbird]

I’ve spent thousands of $$ on planners/stationery/supplies over the past 11 years. I’m currently destashing all of it and switching to a cheap spiral notebook like this (got one for 10 cents after redeeming my Walgreens rewards points! 🙌🏼). So.much.better.

I’ve gotten into the #minimalism movement lately, and decluttering my entire life. It feels amazing.

I agree. Nothing, but a notebook. I do everything in it. It’s a planner Also, I write my grocery list in it and take it to the store. It’s always with me.

Homegirl just explained bullet journals

I use these as well. My big problem with printed planners is too much space is taken up with crap. Who needs a fricking dedicated space to list your moods, anyway. I am either pissed off or neutral. People fill their planners with stickers and washi tape. Too much time spent designing planner pages and not enough time getting crap done.

Finally!!!! Someone who’s using a regular journal/notebook/spiral as a planner! Lol I started using the exceed spirals a few years back and I’m still using them now to organize my life! I tried the happy planners, but again it’s not enough space for what I need! Thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately for me, I dump all my ideas in one page, and the next set of ideas end up in a different notebook on a different page all over the place. I'll try this, wish me luck lol

My mom used a steno notebook, it’s got a line down the middle. One side for todo, one side for notes through the day. Got a big project: give it its own page that works the sane way. When your current list or nites gets too jammed up? Copy it fresh, edit out the junk as you do, and carry on.

Yeah! Someone else bullets in a spiral notebook! Calmness for my chaotic mind without stress of not filling out pre-made sheets, always made me feel wasteful and stressed. Love your energy!!

Thank you for saving me from dropping an insane amount of money on a planner that I know I’ll only use 1% of. 😂 Seriously, I was looking at planners on Amazon recently when you posted this — budget planners, actually, but this video inspired me to just use a notebook and design budgeting, savings, expense, etc. pages in a way that works for me. Seems silly to spend a ton of money on a thing hoping to help you save money. 😂

This is just a form of bullet journaling. For those that want this, but want a little better quality, you can always get larger size bullet journals, theyre not all book size, or, if you want to remove pages, although slightly harder to find, they do have ones with perforated pages for removing. Alternatively, keep a glue stick on you to stick pages together. However! Notebooks are incredibly underrated and very, incredibly valid, and can help *so* much when all you need is a simple place to throw all of your tasks in. For this girly? Look up the original bullet jornal videos, totally easy to find. Everything you have here, but with simple, easy to organize and remember bullets. Probably less than ten minutes. You could benefit from it, and if you change nothing? Thats cool! That means you already found something that works perfect for you! But you can always learn and grow, and the original videos are an amazing way to help understand how, and *why* you are helping organize your life.

Love it!!! As a professional project manager I totally love your system. I also personally make use of a few sticky notes which can easily be moved around if the item doesn’t get finished as planned. You go girl!

68 years old and have never been able to think with planners or bullet journals. For some reason this clicked. What I am going to do on the first 2 pages, though, is a spread on what I want to accomplish for the year as a focus, the 4 things I always mean to accomplish, but never do, like achieve and maintain a healthy weight, finally get my house in order... etc. Having it all in one notebook (bought a sparkly rose gold version so I don't lose it :D) in a format I can think with will really help. Thank you!

This all makes great sense. My husband always bought the dollar store calendar with a month on 2 pages and wrote all his appointments in there. We followed this for 32 years of our marriage until his passing. We told people, "If you want a piece of our time, ya gotta get on the square."

Biggest lesson i learnt in 2022/23 in the trading market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.

[Daphne-ysue]

Whenever I look at a complicated and thick planner, springs pop out of my head!!! A simple month at a glance calendar and a spiral or steno notebook and I have all I need!!!

[valerieoliva]

This is exactly what I do for my meal planning and schedule. It's simple, direct, cheap and it works.

[edwardwicks]

Woman, you have just saved my life with this handy, dandy, organizing, tip. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[rebekahdeere]

This is exactly why I bullet journal! I plan my week, meal plan, grocery list, events, practice plans for the basketball team I coach, etc. I keep a dollar tree calendar inside of it so I can have future events and planning in there. I use a sticky note or scrap piece of paper to do a block schedule on the days I have a lot to get done so I stay on track.

[Singlerose]

I use a 5 subject and use it for my finances as well. I also use erasable pens so I can change stuff or have check lists I can use multiple times

[amyphoto]

Yes!!! I have been using a plain notebook for the last year, and it has been great… BUT you just totally explained it in a way that I think will help me even more!!! Thank you for sharing!!
