- Figuring out my planner needs was fundamental in building my system.
My main, absolutely necessary need is the Seamless Flow of Information, both into and out of my planner and within the planner itself, amongst the sections. I don't want to have to think about where to put incoming information, and I shouldn't have to think about where to retrieve information when I need it.
I also need:
-- Quick capture of information: Reminders, the Drafts app, and Fantastical
-- A "Filtered" Yearly (finances and travel schedule)
-- Monthly (full year): out of the ordinary schedule things, game schedule, due dates, monthly task list, quarterly goals (not in a separate space or I forget about them), memory keeping
-- Weekly (full year is not a need but I like it): daily schedule for each person whose schedule I'm responsible for, day-specific tasks, due dates, weekly task list (which includes project tasks)
-- Daily: daily schedule broken down by drop off and pickup times, day/specific tasks, notes about what I did that day, journaling, blank space for whatever I need at a moment's notice
-- Projects: set up by their particular needs, currently active projects on sticky notes in the current monthly section
-- Tabs: quick access to information
-- Sticky notes: moving information easily, quick notes, printable sticky notes for specific needs
-- Portability: I use my planner more when it's always with me. The more I use it, the better the system becomes.
-- Options: Right now, my brain craves the ease in turning to a blank space and using it for whatever I need. My current setup accommodates that need in my Daily book.
-- Pockets: to keep spare sticky notes, my ruler, stickers, keepsakes
Wants:
-- Pretty things: some tasks just aren't fun to see written in your planner because you're dreading doing them. At least having a pretty space to do them in makes them a little more tolerable.
-- Photos: make my planner uniquely mine
-- These aesthetic things make my planner enjoyable. I take a few minutes every morning just to flip through my planner and simply enjoy it. I made a reel about it here: bit.ly/FirstFo...
-- A cover that feels good: I want to enjoy the material from which it is made, the weight of it, the size of it in my hand.
You can find your own planner needs in any number of ways, and I'm sure there are more than I'll offer here.
You can start with a blank book and only add the things you have decided you absolutely need. Then, as time, progresses, you can add or remove things as needed.
Starting with a predesigned system can also be a great place to start. Something from Franklin Covey, Filofax, or Day Designer is all set up and ready to use. Then you can add and remove things as you need.
Free printables are also a great way to jump start building your system. Philofaxy and Peanuts Planner Co offer great free printables if you'd like to start there.

thank you for telling me that you also do written and digital planner, I have my calendar in my phone that keeps all my info so I can put it in while out and setting up appointments, once I have a minute , than I can input it to my written... I need to check out the draft app, b/c ALL my ideas come while driving lol. I found you thru one book July, I am so glad that I found you and hearing about everyone's tips & tricks.... I will be using the "needs & wants" idea. thanks
I have watched you since the beginning.. I love when you explain the system
Excellent system you have and it grew organically so now it fits perfectly with room for changes. I really like the idea of just sitting down and listing what I need my planner to do. Thanks for taking the time to film and share this! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Thank you! Making a list of my planner needs truly kick-started my system.
I was on a live with Rho today and sure miss her but so happy to have you and Miss Vicky Bee take over the group and hang out with us and looking forward to start over and rethink some of my processes. Made a massive amount of notes and downloaded couple of those apps. Thanks Carie your a great teacher on planning😄🤣so happy to participate in OBJ again.
I miss her too!!! I was happy to see that she was able to go live for a bit today.
Thank you for these Carie! I have looked forward to these videos every July for years now. It’s like Christmas in July! 🤍🎄🌻
Thank you for this! July is a notoriously difficult month for me, and One Book July helps me through that every year.
Carie, I've been watching your videos for years. I think this one, the January to June 2022 Planner Flip, and The First Four Minutes reel on IG are the best ever.
This is the kind of feedback I love to get! I have so many ideas in my head, but getting them to make sense out in the world sometimes feels impossible. Thank you for these encouraging words! 😊💕
Thank you for this video Carie. You were very clear about the system you have designed to work for you. I love that you added your planner needs and wants.
Thank you for this! I know it makes sense in my head, but sometimes I feel like I’m super unclear when I explain it all out loud.
Oh that's my goal. I want to be consistent with planning and Journaling systems this month, even in the face of cah-ray-zee stressful times.
That’s part of why I plan… making joy. If I’m having a tough time finding joy I make a tiny bit of my own. Planning also gives us a little something over which we have control, but not “bad” control, if that makes sense.
I love this compact size but I bought a ring compact and felt it was super small.
I do have a travelers/moleskin like yours but a bigger size.
Right now I’m in a spiral planner and I use a lot of post it within my monthly. Hmm this might work.
New subscriber. Thank You 😊
Welcome! I love hearing about what all you’ve been using and why it does or doesn’t currently work. Thank you for sharing!
@@CarieHarling well I DID IT. I’m setting up a pocket planner JUST LIKE YOURS 🤭🤭🤭🤭
@@deleongirl72 I can’t wait to hear what you think!! 😊
having planner turbulence myself. i keep putting my stuff in other people's inserts that don't quite fit what.i need and i'm tired of adjusting them. i'm also seeing i need to plan differently than I've done before.
You were very clear. Thank you
Thank you for sharing 🌸
Loooooove it!!! Your system is a lot like mine. Only my planner is digital. I love the convenience and I still get to use my own handwriting. I love using cute fonts as well.
If I told you how many times I’ve set up digital planners… 🤣🤣🤣 I love that you’ve found what suits you. Isn’t that a great feeling?!
I used paper planners for soooooo long, I never thought I could go digital and love it. I still carry my croco a7 as my wallet. I still love her and she's pink! 😂❤️ But I also love how you combine your tech with your planning. That's really awesome 😉
Love this small setup and have been tossing around the idea of trying it out. Is it a pocket or passport size? I'm a stay at home mom with kids in school so I don't need a planner per se since I don't have a job but I need my notebook to hold my monthly calendars/ budgets/spending, workouts, daily journaling and to-do's and meal plans for the week. I have tried every notebook out there and can't seem to find the one I want to use the most. I know I want a notebook that I can carry around with me at all times. Wondering if this size could work for me? I'm in a B6 Slim Cafe Notes now. What notebooks are you using in this video? Cover? Thanks :)
I love your set ups in your tn you and ali brown influenced my love for leather . Just trying to get my set up looking how I want it. Like you can do print calendars.i go thru small shops on Etsy. And I love watercolor
Watercolor will get me every single time!!
Wonderful video!
I am watching this and trying to work out why I didn't watch it before.....then I realise my dad died in July, I wasn't taking much in at all. Sorry I wasn't there to cheer you on
No planner porn makes me happier than yours! You were my first guru!!
This made me so happy! Thank you!
I miss your Standard TN setup
I am curious, just came across this tonight, but how many inserts do you have in there? Your journal is amazing
Great video!! Excellent system! Also, is that a personal size CS? It looks like a Mr. Darcy. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you! It is a CS Austen in the color Mr. Darcy (I’ve had it since back when it was called “Toffee”. It might be my most favorite planner ever). It’s actually a Pocket Size!
@@CarieHarling I love the Mr. Darcy "Toffee". The pocket size is nice! It's such an easy carry and looks so cute with so much character.
@@CarieHarling BTW, Do you have the Carie Harling Violet that Jennifer named after you? I love that one and was curious how it's aged. If you have one.
Thank you for sharing. I am going to go back to this travelers notebook style, it was the best setup. I tried digital only and it’s not working. Can you share where you picked up this specific cover? I thought it was chic sparrow but not sure would love to know. Thank you
Hello! It is an old Chic Sparrow pocket size that I’ve had for years. Now it would be called Austen Darcy Pocket.
Carrie, you explained why you moved out of your rings into this new smaller set up with the two Moleskins but i wondered what caused you to leave your regular sized TNs as you were in that size and model of TN for awhile. What changed your mind? Thank you
Such a great question! I wanted something I could stay in for a while and not have to refill or change anything out (hence the two Moleskines), and I wanted something small because, if I was going to stay in it for a while, I needed it to travel well as I’d be traveling when my semester ended. All of that put together landed me at the idea for this little experiment that I honestly didn’t think would really work!
Can you share where the sticky notes come from?
They are from a few different places. The Quarterly Goals, July Goals, and Video Project sticky notes are ones I made myself. The rest are from PaperTessDesigns on Etsy.
Do you save your notebooks from year to year or do,you toss them since most pages were schedules and appt dates? I love your videos!
I do save my notebooks and inserts, even though you are correct that they are mostly schedules and whatnot. They give an accurate snapshot of our days, and I can’t make myself throw them out. 😊
Please share where the pull-out calendars are from!
Those are from PeanutsPlannerCo.com. I use pull-outs from both the Yearly Base Bundle and the Yearly Dated Bundle. I don’t know how many links RUclips will allow me to put in one reply, but I linked to them in my January-June 2022 Planner Flip-Through video. 😊
Can you please tell me what size your monthlies are? Thanks!
They are Field Notes size, so 3.5” x 5.5”. 😊
Which books are you using as inserts? Stalogy?
Hello! 😊 Those are two Pocket Soft Cover Moleskines.
What inserts do you have that’s 192 pages are the printed but you
They are Pocket Moleskine notebooks! 😊 I tip-in or glue in printables when I want something specific, otherwise I just use the pages as they are. These are lined, but I think I might go with grid next time.
What size is your planner?
It’s a Pocket Travelers Notebook, so the inserts are 3:5” x 5:5”. 😊
Can you explain the shared grocery list!! 🤯🤯
That shared grocery list changed my life, seriously. So much less stress. Fewer trips to the store.
Okay… firstly, we all have Apple products, so I don’t know how or if this would work on other phones.
I created a list called “Grocery” in the Reminders app. In that list, in the top right corner, there’s a circle with dots in it. If you tap that, one of the options is “Share List.”
It then gives you loads of options for how to send an invite to everyone with whom you’d like to share that list. Once they accept that invite, they can view and edit that list too.
It’s such a simple thing, but I am thankful for it every day!
@@CarieHarling hi Carrie. Great video. We use that exact same method for grocery shopping. I am in charge of meal planning, but for the ones who use the last of the more common ingredients are responsible for putting that down into our reminders app. I also use that app and name a list called errands and add specific errands so whomever is headed past the post office can ship packages and the one running the opposite direction can grab pharmacy or other related things. It’s such a time saver! I’m analog all the way and love my planners to death, but It did cut my grocery shopping and errand running in half. Highly recommend iPhone for the family.
Yes to all of this!! We do the same things, especially since the older kids got their own cars. Such a timesaver!
Are you using stalogy or moleskine blank books?
These are Pocket Moleskines, ruled. 😊
