Video of the year! Planner videos have become repetitive as everyone copies each other. These are new and fresh ideas! Mind blown!

You can't do much with this neat freakness.
The main hack is to get rid of neatness and additional planner(s) and write in your planner as it is and do what you need to do.

The back light for the guillotine cutter is smart.

Voice memos when planner not available is genius!

Great tips. I love a brain dump and am always taking screen shots, love the idea of putting into favourites and actually checking them as part of a daily weekly routine

Great ideas!! I’m trying to get back into planning after about a six month break and appreciate any help I can get! Although I’ve used planners for years, I never successfully developed a plan for brain dumping. I really think it will be helpful for me but I feel like it just turns into a bunch of lists with random, unorganized information that never gets where it needs to go. I like your ideas for convenient ways to record things when they come up so hopefully I can use those or other ways to help get the info from my head to where it needs to go.

You got me at the first tip! New sub here! Using Regular TN as a planner newbie, been journalling for years but I sort of hate the idea of "planning." Yet I know I need it. Thank you for the tips! ❤

amazing, i thought i was picky- love the detail!

Un-Do sticker remover... If you get migraines from things like vicks vapor rub, perfumes and such in general, have a fan on very close by and it spells bad too. I still use it though, I can't go a month without stuffing up my stickers somehow.

The daily brain dump roundup is brilliant! And your 4 collection spots make a perfect all encompassing system to cover all situations you could find yourself in when thinking of an inbox item. Love it ❤️

Great tips! What about when you cut the insert like you demonstrated on the guillotine, and you’ve cut off one of the side cut marks?

[michellealdrich]

TFS 💫 I didn’t understand the highlighter stickers tip though? Is that something you sell that lays over text or you write on top of it - like a piece of washi tape or …? 🤔

[buysellplan]

Wow so many tips! Where'd you get the adhesive correction tape?

[rokkenrobyn]

Are there different colors with the friction pen? Cuz I need to write in colors and go through white out like crazy. I need the color coordination
