So this spread, I divided it in 12 sections down (Jan through December) and 8 across to match the Makselife goal sections. I wanted it to be a snapshot of the goals (I actually call them intentions) I have set for the month.
At the risk of sending you down a never-ending rabbit hole, fountain pens work beautifully in the common planner. I have noodlers and diamine inks and an ECO TWSBI is a good reliable pen that holds a lot of ink. I'm also fond of Kaweco pens. I suggest extra fine and fine nibs for this planner.
@@eversolooney ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!! 🤣 Cindy - you are awesome - thanks for absolutely everything, the information...the information.. the innuendo, and the snark!
Rachelle in theory had a video a few weeks ago about using the monthlies in a work planner. She recommends what she calls a “distraction method”. Essentially you put anything that distracted you from completing your work on the monthlies. For example, your car problems were unexpected or with your upcoming dialysis you will most likely have days that don’t go the way you expect and when you review at the end of the month or quarter you can see why.
@@blindaurora the idea is to only do it relating to work. The example that Rachelle gave was if some urgent last minute work request comes in that takes priority over the planned or scheduled work. That way during performance reviews, weekly reviews/recaps, or sprint planning you know why something you thought you would get done didn’t. I also have ADHD but making the distinction that it is “work distractions” helped me understand it better and I plan on implementing it after the holiday.
@@CindyGuentertBaldo here is the video. ruclips.net/video/DxYk_8BlnAc/видео.html It was really helpful for me. Rachelle explained very well and provided helpful examples. From what Rachelle says, she follows an agile project management methodology at work. It’s often used in tech/IT but really can be modified and adapted to any type of project. Based on what I understand about HB90 it follow some agile methods with quarterly planning (larger sprint plans) and the kanban board. I haven’t used the HB90 method but I follow Sarra and watch most, if not all of her videos. If you have any questions about please let me know. I use Agile extensively at work (I’m a data analyst) 😊
One of the things I love most about this channel (other than your sense of humor) is your willingness to try new systems, planners, setups, etc. to find what will works best for you at different phases in your life. Looking forward to seeing how this current system works out.
I'm super excited to see how this develops. I keep my bujo super functional and minimal but I think my husband has seen me watching too many of your videos and he put a bunch of washi tape in my stocking, so now I have more than I think I could ever use. I hate when journals get chunky, which is why I don't generally use stickers or washi. So I'm excited to see how the functionality of this planner develops. I'm intrigued by the pomodoro tracking, which makes me think I should try a version of it myself. The trouble is that I hate interrupting my flow when I get hyper-focused on a task.
Yay washi tape! I’ve been getting tired of some older patterns I have and using them for all kinds of things, like taping paper down for art, anything I need temporary tape for. I also have been using the official Leuchtturm notebook and put washi tape on the edges of several pages so I could find that collection again. I was surprised that it didn’t make it bulky! Now I appreciate thicker pages. Never was worried about it before.
Greater than symbol > migrated; < Less Than symbol (opens up to an L for Less), hope this helps! I love all your videos! I’m sending positive vibes your way for your dialysis journey!
Great to see your setup. I am using a Staedtler pigment liner and have had no issues with bleed through. It is interesting to see you use stickers and washi. I don't use either with TM paper and have gone very minimalistic with this planner; one pen and one mildliner. I would love to see how you use the daily pages! :) Looking forward to the future videos.
I've been a subscriber of yours for a while now. You would think I would know better than to eat while watching a video of yours-oy, the amount of times I've choked on my chips listening to your commentary...for today, it's ASMR or random pencilboard fanning or spontaneous singing XD Planner's lookin good-I really like your idea of how to track your workdays with the markers and am thinking of how I can adapt that. :)
I use the Midori clip tabs to mark my current week and my current 'daily' (aka whatever page I'm on in the grid paper section) and those are definitely available on Jetpens. Also saw a really neat hack from Lindsey Scribbles for if you're using them to tab a page that you won't be moving (if you tab an index for example) to put a piece of washi tape down under the tab to make the paper sturdier!
I used a blowdryer to get my LP cover to fit my full-year common planner! It works, but I ended up getting the Sterling Ink cover because I put a pen loop on my LP and ended up hating it. Live and learn!
when my chronic pain was at its worst, i didnt bother with tracking like pain scales or anytning but i really wanted to get a sense for how much it was affecting my daily life so each day i rated either 1,2,3 1: daily tasks today minimally affected (only somewhat limited me getting done what i had hoped) 2: pain did affect my day 3: pain severely limited my daily tasks and my day maybe you could do something similar with how much your kidney symptoms affects your days and see if slowly over time if your scores on monthly average gets lower i feel like this data was helpful to show my doctor
I have been a dialysis nurse for about 18 years, you will do great!! Home dialysis is the way to go if you can which it sounds like you are doing since you talked about training. Best of luck Cindy!! P.S. I love all the cussing, just how I talk.
I love color too and even if I fall between minimalist and maximalist in a planner it’s still color not beige on beige. I too can do that one week if I’m feeling it but overall need color. Color in my planner inspires me, brings me back to it and just makes me happy. I’d be bored with a beige on beige planner. FPs work great on TRP but the Energel, Kokuyo ME and Uni ONE work great on TRP. Don’t take long to dry at all and don’t bleed. Getting blotter paper to stick in your planner helps too with different pens and markers just to aid in drying and prevent smears.
Normally I don’t consider myself “easily influenced” when buying things online, but my planning set up for next year is the digital makselife, google calendar, and a Kanban board 😂 I’m very grateful for you sharing your reviews and set ups! It’s super helpful to see ~how~ I can use planning to improve my stress levels.
I've been using a Hobo Cousin for a couple of years now. Once you get used to it, you are going to looooooooove the Tomoe River paper! The crinkliness is lovely!
I gotta say...I've been following you for years and i have never left a comment but I had to comment today because I audibly GASPED hearing you say you're going to use a planner with tomoe river paper!! 🤯I'm using the sterling ink planner this year too and I hope it is everything you hoped for! 🖤
I realized this year that I don't use my monthly calendars. Not in my personal planner and not in my budget planner. I've been brainstorming how I want to use those pages. I use Outlook for all my scheduling and planning so I found I hardly ever looked at my paper monthlies.
that's kind of where I am with google calendar vs my paper. I'm thinking that the makselife will be health tracking shit (based on what my dialysis team wants out of me) and my work will be tracking which goals my time blocks fall into? not sure yet
Doing pomodoros was the only way I got HW done in college and i used it to clean/ do chores. It helps making a list of what you want to get done so you aren’t wasting working time trying to decide what to do.
I like how the initial setup looks and got a little FOMO when I saw the video but I have to many blank journals to justify putting a pre-order in. So Im going to let it inspire me and USE MY SH*T!! Btw a suggestion I would make would be to put a small piece of washi on the top front edge of the pocket for the flags. That should help it not stick when you are trying to put things in it.
Im also using the right side of the quarterly spread to track pomodoros! Im also tracking the number of times I fill up my water bottle, because water helps me stay focused 😄
So something I do with tomoe river paper is I bought a pack of blotter paper and basically use that as bookmark, pencil board, and blotter, so I never really have to wait for my ink to dry.
Love your set-up so far! I‘m also using a B6 Common Planner in mauve and I‘m still adding to my set-up. It’s going to be my work and learning planner. Apart from sectioning off several pages for things I need to track for work, I‘m going to use the blank pages in the back like a “true” Commonplace Book: work notes, random thoughts and ideas, summaries of my nonfiction reading … you name it. Already started using the pages this month, and I‘m loving this planner so far! 💖
And that moment at the end with the paper? That’s you falling in love with TRP. 🤭 It’s still just a swipe right for now, but love is in the AIR! I can FEEL it! 😂😂😂
I’m interested in seeing how you use this with goals. I’m so bad at following goals. I’m watching and rewatching your goal setting videos because I want to be able to set achievable goals for 2023 but never know how to follow through or how to track. I’ll see about buying this planner if it works for you in Jan. 😊
I've found that two things really help me when it comes to working on goals - keeping them simple and keeping them right in front of me. hopefully this planner works great!
I need ideas for the monthly too in my personal planner (and actually biz too). I'm the same--copy my Google calendar. I never revisit b/c when I plan the week, I'm looking at my Google calendar not the monthly ... Thanks!
I can’t wait to see what you’ve got planned 😂 I like the color coding tip 🤩 I have too much to keep track🧐 which is exactly why I need to watch & listen🥰
I'm watching this video on January 2 and the Pre-Order has already ended for all versions of these planners, Luckily, you can still buy the clear covers for planners you can no longer purchase.
Copasetic means completely satisfactory or in good order. If it's copasetic, it's fine, OK, cool, and groovy. Now that you've made up with your best friend, everything's copasetic. I had to look up the word lol. I feel like the word is used by the stoner older brother in the movie Don’t tell mom the babysitters dead 💀
😅 at your husband saying “spicy” now. 😂 I enjoyed hearing your thought process of why and how you want to set up you planner. And I love colorful/bright stickers too, but I prefer beige-y stickers 😉☺️
I know this feels like "more stuff you don't need" and "overpriced plastic" but I really really like having a super thin pencil board that matches the size of the book I'm using it in. That said, I have no idea where to get a B6 size, but for me it would be worth buying an A5 hobonichi pencil board and cutting it down.
you keep mentioning HB90 and I'm so jealous! I only discovered Heart Breathings and her HB90 like literally a couple days after she closed enrolment. I was like "oh this is perfect, a lil course with a group of people to keep me accountable and stuff" but nope... 'twas not meant to be. At least for this first quarter. I hope she does it again with the second quarter and I get a chance to join then. It's been a while since I watched your channel, though, but it's easy to figure out why I liked watching you so much. Just the way you handle irritating things by being funny and honest; love it. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the planner. I've been a Hobonichi-ass-bitch for a long time. I liked this planner but I was torn between the two. There were a few things that I liked about it and a few things that I didn't. Like most of the changes feel/seem great but... well the main thing that irritates me was taking everything away from the daily pages. I mean, I get it, it's weird if you don't use every day the same way and the hourly timeline and the date box in the way can get distracting and frustrating when you'd rather have that much more space to write. But I always liked using the Daily pages in a Hobonichi as like... the area that'd be just all collections in a bullet journal, or notes, and then use those pages at the beginning with each month in a column with a line for each day as a kind of calindex to find everything I'd written down. So totally taking out the dating and monthly page tabbing from the daily pages is a little... just.. like that last little bit too much of a modification for me, and would complicate my simple page indexing system with the Hobonichi like a loooot. That's to be expected I suppose - can't please everyone, you know? That being said, I have ordered the undated Common Planner and already have my Cousin and I'm sort of wanting to use them in tandem. I like creative writing and fantasy world building for my stories so I figure it could be a good thing to have that extra space for writing down lines and world building ideas and stuff like that in the Sterling Ink book and using the cousin for more professional stuff where the time tracking stuff might be slightly more important. I do like the slightly different breakdown for the spreads at the beginning to allow more space for like goal setting and planning and all that. I'm just... not looking forward to trying to figure out how I want to handle indexing the daily pages. I part of me wants to go ahead and just divide them up with the help of my little Midori index tab stickers and so I can still do the calindex with the overview pages in the beginning. But it's not just the tedium of doing it all that's intimidating to me, it's also the very very high probability of making mistakes while having to so precisely count out so many pages. I just know it'll be like the middle of the year and I'll realize that June has 31 pages instead of 30 and that'll mean everything after is messed up too... and even just imagining that is stressing me out. lol. I'll figure something out but hopefully knowing that it'll almost all be creative-writing oriented will make it so I don't have to do as much indexing so maybe that'll help simplify it for me. Thank you to whoever read my wringing.
After so long with hearing you say that tamoe river paper is like used, cheap, toilet paper… I felt a bit of satisfaction that you finally see the appeal! Lol Good luck with your upcoming goals and I hope that your house is back to healthy! ❤
So this spread, I divided it in 12 sections down (Jan through December) and 8 across to match the Makselife goal sections. I wanted it to be a snapshot of the goals (I actually call them intentions) I have set for the month.
Also, being a muse in any way is super encouraging 🥹
I love that! i have no idea why i thought it was meal planning lol

Love this! Where did you get the number tabs?
She mentioned that she had ordered them from Aura Estelle when she ordered their b6 planner. Hope this helps! ✌️❤️
the month tabs are from aura estelle and the number tabs are from jet pens!
Who is the creator that you said is your bullet journal muse?? I don't think I've heard of them but they sound great
@mariplansalist on instagram! She isn't one of the aesthetic bujo creators, she's super practical.
This looks a lot like the hobonichi planners. I am fascinated by your system here and would like to see whatever videos you want to make about it
it does!

So totally taking out the dating and monthly page tabbing from the daily pages is a little... just.. like that last little bit too much of a modification for me, and would complicate my simple page indexing system with the Hobonichi like a loooot. That's to be expected I suppose - can't please everyone, you know?
That being said, I have ordered the undated Common Planner and already have my Cousin and I'm sort of wanting to use them in tandem. I like creative writing and fantasy world building for my stories so I figure it could be a good thing to have that extra space for writing down lines and world building ideas and stuff like that in the Sterling Ink book and using the cousin for more professional stuff where the time tracking stuff might be slightly more important.
I do like the slightly different breakdown for the spreads at the beginning to allow more space for like goal setting and planning and all that. I'm just... not looking forward to trying to figure out how I want to handle indexing the daily pages. I part of me wants to go ahead and just divide them up with the help of my little Midori index tab stickers and so I can still do the calindex with the overview pages in the beginning. But it's not just the tedium of doing it all that's intimidating to me, it's also the very very high probability of making mistakes while having to so precisely count out so many pages. I just know it'll be like the middle of the year and I'll realize that June has 31 pages instead of 30 and that'll mean everything after is messed up too... and even just imagining that is stressing me out. lol.
I'll figure something out but hopefully knowing that it'll almost all be creative-writing oriented will make it so I don't have to do as much indexing so maybe that'll help simplify it for me.
Thank you to whoever read my wringing.

@@CindyGuentertBaldo You're my favorite customer.
Who is the person you're talking about at 17' ? I hear "Maudie Mundo" but I've tried a few different spelling and I can't find them...
@mariplansalist on instagram! She isn't one of the aesthetic bujo creators, she's super practical.
@@CindyGuentertBaldo thank you, that's precisely what I'm looking for at the beginning of the year!
Who is Mari Mundo and where can I find her?
See I spend a lot of time on booktok so "spicy" has a very specific kinda meaning in my brain...
