    I totally take the freebies from the hotel bathrooms. I use them for travel and emergencies. I like to keep a stash of little things like that inside my diaper bag because with four kids you never know

    I got an 18 month ECLP as well for the larger coil. I took out July-Dec of 2023 weekly pages and kept the monthly for advanced planning. It’s fantastic! It’s a great idea for that larger coil!

    I definitely take the hotel toiletries but I use them for when we visit family because we don’t have a guests bathroom.
    I just got my planner in the mail today so I’m rewatching this video for inspiration. I got the colorblends a5 agenda and OMG it is so beautiful in person.

    Perfect advice about the dashboard page. I made the mistake for 2022 by listing monthly bills and I no longer track them there. I use a separate petite monthly. Ugh! I was so pissed at myself, so I’ll only fill it out a month in advance. Thanks!

    • @StephPlansInTheOC
      @StephPlansInTheOC 2 года назад

      I have my reoccurring and regular bills on autopay (Credit Cards, HOA, Utilities, Car Payment), I pay my Home Owners and Auto Insurance in one payment for the year when the policy renews, and I pay my Property Taxes in one payment when the statement arrives toward the end of the year. I also have it set up automatically to contribute the maximum annual amount to my IRA towards the beginning of the year. My tax situation is a bit complicated (I file 3 different State and Federal Tax Returns annually) so my Accountant has me set up to pay the Estimated Tax Owed every quarter, which is also on Autopay. I have ADD, so this works the best for me otherwise I’ll procrastinate and possibly forget to pay something altogether! I just make sure I keep enough in my account to cover the expenses. My Credit Cards and Utilities send me a text notification about a week before the withdrawal date to remind me of the payment date, so if necessary I can transfer funds from savings. This is just what works best for me, and gives me a better idea of what my disposable income is for the month for the non-essentials - although I think planners and related items should be classified as essentials! 😁

    I mean, we always took the free toiletries, but I've never had a guest bathroom.
    I don't usually do any set up work. I just jump in and start using it. If I switch to the Daily Duo, the most I might do is add lines to split my day into blocks of time to help organize tasks a little better... and most of that set up is figuring out where to split the day.

    Oh!!!! I have a whole collection of the little freebies hahha. My hubby used to and starting to again, travel a LOT for work and I would ask him to bring those little things back and so I havent had to purchase anything for our guest br for a long while and these products are usually really good brands. When the guest keeps their goodies it's all good cause I have like 3 plastic shoeboxes full hahaha...um so i probably have a problem hahah but nope you are not alone

    @patriciaikeda2608 Год назад

    I like to uncoil mine and save the extra pages for random projects that may come up. Yes i have a box of random planner stuff but it has really come in handy. Also i like to journal so i order an extra note pad of the same size and add extra journal pages for the month.

  • @vickiehurt2665
    @vickiehurt2665 Год назад

    I used to take the toiletries from the hotels until they made my skin red and itchy. I ❤ my EC horizontal platinum coil 12 month Hello Kitty planner. I don’t cover up anything or use all of my sticker stash, but I use as much as I can. And I don’t do planner surgery either. Not my style! The first thing I do is put certain stickers on the cover and the back.

    I use to work in housekeeping and we didn’t care if you took the freebies. We couldn’t reuse them for new guest so a lot of freebies got waisted. And now when I go somewhere I also take the freebies home and I use them for if I run out of hand soap and I’m not going right away to the store.

      @StephPlansInTheOC 2 года назад +1

      The large 3M corner sticky pocket from Erin Condren is on their website under Accessories. Various shops like Cloth & Paper and Planner Press sell similar items, as does Amazon if you prefer a square shape. I’ve even found them at Dollar Tree, Amazon and Target (in the Bullseye Section around Back to School Time), but I can’t attest to the quality.

  • @werbette

    Or get a planer that fits better to your needs? I really don't understand. If you really need more space and you know that why not get bigger rings and put these on... as you always do that wouldn't that save money on the long run?
