I put my weekly review across from the goals I was working on that week. I know that isn't how you're supposed to do it, but it does make it easier for me to concentrate on the goals for the week instead of flipping back and forth. Being lazy for the win!
It does feel a little weird flipping back and forth so I can see how having them both for the same week would make sense. It’s your planner, do what works best for your brain!
thank you for your honest, sincere and raw review! I just bought a makselife planner for 2024 and looking forward to using it, so your insights are valuable. thanks for sharing! Best to you in 2024 🎉
Thank you for the very personal and heartfelt video. I used the undated Makselife (6 months on a coil) for 2022 but I didn’t love 2 books and I don’t like wire o binding so for 2023 I used the companion notebooks with a different planner. Like you I didn’t like them separate from the rest of my planner. I so excited for 2024 flagship on a coil. I got the Messy Bits cover in the vertical layout. I love the time strip washi because I can mark my work by by just a few lines & then use the rest of the lines like an hourly planner. Have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Healthy, Happy & Prosperous New Year!🎉
I bet you were just as excited as I was that they switched from wire o to a standard coil! Thanks for sharing your journey and watching! Enjoy your holidays, too! 😊
I feel the same way! I also used Makselife all year for the first time (fell of the wagon for a few weeks here and there). At first I felt like I wasn’t doing it right, or failing in a lot of ways, because I’m always overly optimistic and almost never accomplish what I imagine I’ll be able to do at the beginning of the week. But now after reflecting back on the year, I realized it did work, just not in the way I’d expected. At no point in the year did I ever forget what my goals/intentions were, and when I had to make difficult decisions of what to prioritize (which happened a lot), I feel like I made the right decision every time because I was so clear on what it was that I was trying to do. Even now I feel so much clearer on what I want out of life even as it makes me sad to acknowledge the limitations of time (which was the grief I was dealing with every week, even though that sounds so silly!). It also makes me emotional to think/talk about it. ❤
So happy that you went on the MakseLife journey in 2023! I’m glad I’m not alone! I don’t think it’s silly to grieve your realization that there isn’t enough time to do it all. I think when we’ve lived with any expectation for a long time, it’s normal to grieve and feel sad when expectations aren’t met. What planner will you be using in 2024 from MakseLife? The same as 2023?
@@CreatingSelfCarePlans I'm going to be trying the same flagship as you, Moxie in horizontal! I used the spiral bound monthly this past year, but I wanted to have a pretty cover for 2024. Going to try out setting intentions, journaling, etc. in the horizontal weekly spreads.
I love using Makselife planners, too. They help keep me on track with my goal action steps. Reflecting on them weekly allows me to think about what I need to adjust in order to move forward.
Thanks for being so honest and vulnerable in your review of the year. ❤️❤️😀😀 I used the flagship planner in 2022 and loved it. Didn’t use it in 2023 and I noticed a big difference in how I felt about planning. I really missed the weekly and monthly reviews and the quarterly overview as well. For 2024 I got the companion notebooks and I’m excited to get back to having my goals reflect my values and paying attention to all the areas in life. I see this as part of my mental health maintenance (my therapist loves this system). I’ve really enjoyed all your videos so far! Looking forward to more in 2024! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season 😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️
Yay!! I’m so excited for you to dive back into MakseLife in 2024!! I agree that it’s a great system for helping keep my mental health in check. Thanks so much for watching my videos this year! I’ve really got MakseLife to thank for helping me stay on track with the progress I’ve made with my channel. Looking forward to continuing to make more videos in 2024! Enjoy your holidays, too!! And again, thanks for watching!!
I tried it this year, too, and it's definitely a friend I don't want to let go of! Even when I fell off track with reflections, it was just so easy to jump back on the wagon and get back on task. Last night's call had loads of tidbits! I am excited to hear what resonated with you in the replay!
I plan on journaling in it so most likely if I share, it will be on my Instagram. But I might do a RUclips video here & there with goals/actions. Thanks for wanting to follow along!
I hear you. I had to make sure that I also incorporated the things I wanted to do in my weekly actions into my actual weekly planner in order to make progress. Which can feel like double the work. Which cover did you pick for 2024? 😊

@user-kv8nx9oj5v I know, that cover really had me sold. lol. I was like I have to have it!
@@CreatingSelfCarePlans Same!!
I’ll be in the flagship planner this year for the same reasons you gave. I used the companion notebooks and it was hard being consistent.
I’m glad you’re going to be returning even though it was difficult last year for you to be consistent in the notebooks. Which cover did you pick? 😊

Exactly! They are so helpful with the small, everyday pivots. How long have you been using a MakseLife?

It truly does feel so easy to jump back in. Awesome to hear about the masterclass! Going to try listening to it today or tomorrow.
Beautiful review ...appreciate your honesty 😊❤
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!!
Will you be sharing how you use the planner ? My journey was similar to yours 🥰

I'm doing the flagship next year. This year I tried the companion notebooks but it didn't work bc it wasn't in my planner

The moxie one
So pretty! Did you get horizontal or vertical?
Vertical for some reason it feels like more room
@elizabethwilliams6329 I used that layout when I first tried in 2022 and used it for about 5 months. It works really well for making lots of lists.
