Okay, so this is technically my 2022 setup because I’m going to keep things as they are, but since the end of 2021 is still in there so I don’t lose my mind, we’re calling it the December setup.
Yes, I overthink things.
Links to all of the wonderfulness are in the video description box. I hope you enjoyed it!
After over 18 months with everyone in this large family at home, everyone is back at school. Since I drive most of them, that means my schedule changed drastically. I went through three planner setups in a month until finally landing in my Standard TN. Here’s a video showing how I’m currently wrangling the chaos.
As always, here are all of the links. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if I missed something!

Well.
January decided to throw us all for a loop, I’m pretty sure. In our own home, things changed literally overnight and I had to pivot quickly.
I loved my setup in my cut down A5 Stalogy. I truly did. I was thoroughly enjoying the break from all of the structure that I find inherent in my ringed planning.
And then I immediately needed that structure back. Post-haste.
So I went to what I intuitively know. What my brain will just use without having to exert any extra thought. My Comfort Size – Format – Inserts.
Personal Rings. DIYFish inserts. Done and Done.
Here are all of the links to all of the wonderful places that have helped me get my brain into some semblance of order amidst the pivoting and made it all pretty as well.
