    Hey Guys! Today's video is on "Why You Need Multiple Planners." Having multiple planners is definitely not for everyone but I believe that it may be helpful for certain people in certain situations. Today we are going to dive into some of those reasons. If you have any additional reasons, leave them in the comments below! Multiple Planner Series: ruclips.net/p/PLOllMwG3zaAeL2iNk7nsF1H8NdDZ5MKPg

    FInally I gave up ..not using one planner.. Now I am using 4 different planners. You are right, better split to separate planners than one. Big thanks

    I actually don’t have a very busy life, just a very compartmentalized mind. I had never succeeded in using a planner until I saw you put frankenplanning in action in a way that I could relate to. I had tried multiple times to use a planner or an app and none worked. Now I keep some appointments on my phone but everything else is in about to be 7 combined into 3 planner books. And I’m now planning consistently and I feel so much more organized. 🤓

    I have just "found" your site and have subscribed! One of the things that I've considered a hindrance is that I compartmentalize but after watching your video I am realizing this is how my brain organizes my thoughts! Now... I share this because it has never occurred to me to use multiple planners (I am an old school Franklin Planner user since 1992)! And to have multiple planners in a single binder??? Mind. Blown! I have forwarded your video and she will likely subscribe to your channel as well! Like you and so many others, we are terribly busy but multiple planners can help immeasurably! Thank you so much! God bless you and your family! Stay well!

    When this showed up in my notifications I thought - there’s no way I need multiple planners; I mainly use my phone but I was intrigued nonetheless.
    After a few minutes in I realized I use several planners! Lol! They’re not pre-ordered planners but they’re planners nonetheless. ♥️
    As I thought about it, yes, I use my phone for appointments and misc reminders; but I also use the Fly Lady App to plan/track my daily routines; a home management planner/binder; I have a financial/bills planner; and a homeschool planner; a big calendar for the family to be able to see what’s going on/who’s leaving the house/when/why; and a journal. If I had all of that in one spot it’d be a confusing hot mess! 😅🥰

    Every time I watch your videos, I buy something you have in this video. I appreciate your transparency, it really helps me organize my mind. I got the Big Happy Planner and your budget planner. I like having multiple planners (i have like 4 individual smaller planners) but this allows them to all be in one place! I also love how functional your planners are. Most of these videos are about decorations and I'm not that type of person. You're about to have me get all the stickers and the Tul cover too!

    I’m in love with your channel. You are an amazing teacher, I love the setup of your videos, how there’s visuals to everything you are explaining.
    Every year I buy a planner and about 3 months later I’m no longer using it. The issue I was having is that my planner would turn into a mini journal and I would run out of room to write. I have decided to give it another try but this time I bought 2 Planners, I happened to find Happy planners in TJMAXX at a very affordable price. My plan is to use one as a journal and the other for just reminders. Wish me luck, I feel more confident this time around thanks to you 🙏

  • @CoolCraftyCreations
    @CoolCraftyCreations 4 года назад +2

    What I’m doing with all my planners is restructuring them to fit my life (work, life, crochet business). I’ve done DIY dashboards with tabs for each thing I need and I have plenty of inserts so no more buying special planners, well, except school, I purchased some teachers planners for that.

    Hello! I love your channel! Due to very busy life and a little bit of ocd I have to have multiple planners even though l don't like it. I prefer everything in one place but it just won't fit in one (!), it gets messy and time consuming to find something. One day I decided to go paperless and it saved my life! I have multiple planners all in my tablet and synced to my phone (for quick looks when I am in a rush), unlimited colored pens and stickers (thank you internet!) to personalise and nothing is different in the way I plan. To be honest, I miss my stationary and also the adjustment period was long but it was so worth it!

    I still use a digital calendar for reminders, but I plan best on paper.

    @elizabethgrosvenor153 4 года назад +1

    I need multiple planners, but I need them all on the same page, so I don't know if that counts, lol! But you could just do them all separately.
    Aside from my own main calendar, my most needed is a reference calendar. I am the only person I know who talks about this but I think it's vital. I need to know when housemates and family are away, for example, or when out of town guests are around even if they're not staying at my house. Can also use for things like the day your friend has surgery to remind you to check in either before or after, or for payday or the day the water is switched off. Anything that you need to know but don't directly need to action. Even birthdays, that will feed into a todo a few days ahead to post the card but you need the reference calendar to remember when it is.
    Moving out from that, arguably day-specific todos need to be on a separate list/page to appointments, unless they're so big that they become appointments with yourself.
    Logs (food/exercise/sleep/money spent/mood/piano practice/etc) need to be separate again. (Or you can pull all the 'money spent' items together onto a separate log.)
    Then I'm not really sure what to call it but anything that's optional I keep separate too -- community or church events you might go to, tv you might watch, sales that you might participate in, etc. Actually I usually keep tv separate anyway, just because I record all my stuff and watch it when I can, so it's useful to know roughly how many hours/week I have to find back, when my next episodes air, etc, but that sounds a bit silly without explanation and most people would probably just put it with their other optional stuff, or occasionally as an appointment for the must-see stuff.
    And deadlines. They are again a different type of thing. Might just belong on your reference calendar. But if you're studying, for example, and you have a lot of them, and you need to manage your workflow, they need to be separate. And again deadlines feed back into your todo list for general non-day-specific tasks, or by becoming studying appointments, but you still need to track them. I suppose the same applies if you have orders with deadlines too, you need to track your deadlines and workflow separate from your regular work todos. Same goes for self-imposed deadlines for planning a big event like Christmas.

    Thank you for this video. I have three seperate planners: Dashboard Layout for home management, Monthly Layout for goals, and I recently bought/received a customized Vertical Layout just for me (self care [hair, nails, skin, mood tracking, etc]). I also read the bible and have a book for leisure reading, and I take care of a 4 year old. For child care, I thought of purchasing a mini Dashboard Layout just to have all things focus on her. Now that I've seen this video, I think I might get an Horizonal Layout and use that for my personal planner and use the Vertical Layout for journaling when I bible/leisure read.
    Any suggestions are welcomed!

My busy life has kept me from reading and I'm trying to get back into it. I currently aim to read an hour/day but that seldomly works out. Any tips you can give would be great! Thanks in advance.

I currently have 4 planners physically separated: 8.5x11" notebook for work, 8.5x11" notebook for class planning, A6 for translation and interpretation jobs and an A5 for personal stuff), but with so little to plan now... I'm having second thoughts... Maybe I should consider downsizing all of them to A5 to make better use of space.... and keep them all in the same place like you. What would you recommend?

    Loved this video!! I am juggling many different things and my life is super busy. I am a planner too (love it so much it's like a hobby lol). I am also very detail oriented and need to see all the details. I can get "stuck" if steps are missing in my business life because I am newly moving into a new career path and starting my own business. Do you have planning ideas for people with their own business? How to plan those details...and how to have really productive days and remember it all? Also, having tons of planners for daily things gets too stressful for me because I am trying to get stuff done and going back and forth to different planners to figure out what is next to do throws me off with "getting in the zone" because it's too hard going back and forth between working a bit then stopping and doing something else from another planner and trying to get back to work...going back and forth in different mindsets is really hard. Plus I have tons and tons of random papers with notes that I need to organize..work, health, faith, finances, stuff to buy...whatever I see and/or need to remember it goes on sheets of paper that are driving me crazy to get set up in an organized way. Maybe that's a brain dump..except some of it needs to be saved.

    A prayer journal - use it track major events, prayer list and praise reports scripture or whatever you’re focusing on for the week sometimes not enough room though
    And a catch all
    My new catch all is an hourly alaina I am sorry I hate it I love the stickers man I guess I am not used to it and it takes me twice as long to plan so I got a vertical for my Catch all and then will use my hourly something
