    Great tips. I love a brain dump and am always taking screen shots, love the idea of putting into favourites and actually checking them as part of a daily weekly routine

    You can't do much with this neat freakness.
    The main hack is to get rid of neatness and additional planner(s) and write in your planner as it is and do what you need to do.

    Great ideas!! I’m trying to get back into planning after about a six month break and appreciate any help I can get! Although I’ve used planners for years, I never successfully developed a plan for brain dumping. I really think it will be helpful for me but I feel like it just turns into a bunch of lists with random, unorganized information that never gets where it needs to go. I like your ideas for convenient ways to record things when they come up so hopefully I can use those or other ways to help get the info from my head to where it needs to go.

    • @theplannerspot

    Un-Do sticker remover... If you get migraines from things like vicks vapor rub, perfumes and such in general, have a fan on very close by and it spells bad too. I still use it though, I can't go a month without stuffing up my stickers somehow.

    TFS 💫 I didn’t understand the highlighter stickers tip though? Is that something you sell that lays over text or you write on top of it - like a piece of washi tape or …? 🤔

    Great tips! What about when you cut the insert like you demonstrated on the guillotine, and you’ve cut off one of the side cut marks?

    • @theplannerspot
      @theplannerspot  2 года назад

      Thank you, Nancy! Most of our inserts have crop marks that make it easy to trim inserts without cutting off all the crop marks. However, when I use inserts with the traditional crop marks, I have a technique I use where I don't cut all the way through on the second to last crop mark, that way I don't chop off the last crop mark. It's hard to explain here. Maybe I can make a Reel/RUclips Short to show what I mean. 😆
