I waited to record this until after my classes started so we could see the system in its entirety. This is one of many reasons that having a system that works for your brain is key… I’ve gone back to college full-time, and I knew I didn’t have to worry about how I was going to organize all of it. I simply slotted all of the new schedules and tasks into my existing system.
For me, the most important feature of a dependable planning system is ease of information in and information out. I need to be able to get information out of my head and into a reliable system where it won’t get lost. My planner works for me, I don’t work for it. It is my planner’s job to free up as much brain power as possible so I can allocate that brain power to producing and living rather than remembering upcoming tasks and dates.
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.
December 2021 Planner Setup
Links to all of the wonderfulness are in the video description box. I hope you enjoyed it!
I love seeing how other people utilize their planners because it makes me a better planner. Seeing someone else’s system, regardless of the format (rings, strings, bound, digital, whatever) can help me think about my system in a different and beneficial way.
I recently realized that, while planner flips are some of my favorite videos to watch, I never post them myself! In order to remedy that situation, immediately, I recorded a flip-through of my September 2021 inserts, all full and messy.
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!
