Welcome to the first post in the Createyou86 March Planner Awareness Blog Series.  This series is all about owning it!  Owning your planning, how you plan, why your plan, and what you can do to improve.  This series will also include some fun extras.  There will be a guest post, and Instagram Live featuring myself, and Denis Tunca which is so awesome because i have never worked with someone internationally before.  Denis, and I have been discussing planning, organization, and how she uses journals. Here are a couple of photos of her journal collection. (click to see more)
Denis has filled me in that she uses her notebooks/journals for planning as well.  I love that our styles are so different because if you have been following this blog for any length of time you know that i am a Filofax, and ringed planner through, and through.  I have been working in travelers notebooks quite a bit recently too for social media, and business.
Here is some of my best planner advice!
  1. Do what feels right.  As a planner you will most likely try out a bunch of different styles, and sizes (just like kissing frogs) before you find your "planner peace".  Don't let anyone tell you what size or style planner you should be in because planners are such an individual item, and just because it works for someone else doesn't mean it will work for you.
  2. ​Let planning be valuable for you.  What i mean by this is that there is so much value in planning, but when you get caught up in the planning community, and the decorations, and stickers you can start to lose the value if you aren't careful.  Some people are functional planners which Denis is, and other people are decorative planners, and all you see are stickers in their planners.  I like to mix mine up between functional, and decorative because it makes me want to keep coming back to my planner.  However, my planner always keeps its value because i am always using it, and writing things down.
  3. Start with the basics.  When you are starting out in planning, all you really need is a pen, and a notebook.  This can help you design the planner of your dreams instead of spending lots of money on something you might not use, or need.  When i first started planning i didn't have a Filofax, so i used more affordable Avery products from Target to  see how i was actually going to like planning.  It was a very basic week on two pages setup, and i still use that type of setup to this day almost four years later.  A girl just likes what she likes.  You don't need washi, stickers, expensive planners, and goodies to plan.  All you need to do is put your plans to paper.

I hope that you have enjoyed this post, and are looking forward to the other fun things that i have planned for this series including the Instagram Live that i talked about earlier, and more posts about owning your planning style, and being aware of how you utilize your planner.  

Also be sure to check out Denis' Page. She has a correlating blog post all about her notebooks/journals.  She also specializes in helping you uncover your life purpose, teaches you how to  make money out of your passion, and how to brand it.
