How Has My Planning Changed Over Time?

4/26/2020

Welcome to another post here at Createyou86. I wanted to do some self-reflection on the way that I plan. While I consider myself very consistent, I did go back to 2018 to see how things have changed as the seasons of life have changed over time.

The last week that I used my Personal Filofax Malden to plan July 29, 2018.

When I was planning in my Personal Filofax Malden I was still using horizontal Filofax WO2P inserts, and using stickers.

This is the week of October 16, 2019 where I used personal vertical boxes for a few months because I bought the wrong inserts at the end of 2018.

I bought the wrong inserts at the end of 2018, and for $3.55 I decided that I would give them a try. I found the placement of the boxes to be very confusing. I used a personal wide for a full year in my Foxy Fix Spice Leather, and I loved the experience.

This week in my Personal VDS Planner with Filofax horizontal WO2P inserts. I have been planning in this for 6 weeks.

This is truly my comfort zone even when there isn't a ton to plan. I never find that I run out of room, there is plenty of room to use stickers, and those stickers keep me organized, and let me focus on what is important within that day.
I can honestly say that my planning is very consistent. Even with school being the busiest seasons for me I will always enjoy horizontal inserts. This is just how my brain works.

Let me know in the comments what your favorite layout for your planning includes.

Its Been A While: 2020 Planner Update

Welcome to the Createyou86 Blog. The last time I posted here was January 1, 2019. It has been almost a year and a half, but to be fair I was feeling a little burnt out with a few different projects I was working on. I was also recovering from a spinal fusion done on June 12, 2018 which failed, and lead to other issues. It was recommended by my lawyer to cease most social media postings, and because of my injury I cannot return to my previous job sector so I decided to go back to school, and I only have five more classes until I receive my Associates Degree in Drug and Alcohol Counseling. As soon as that ends i'll swiftly move onto my Bachelors, and so on. I am still planning. I think I always will. It keeps me sane.
The world is a very different time, and space right now with COVID-19 running rampant. This girl here was actually tested, and it came back negative thankfully.
I am currently using a Van Der Spek Touch Me in personal in the color Tabac. The same week I also purchased a personal Original Filofax in nude. I LOVE the Filofax WO2P inserts. I know a lot of people don't, but I always have so those are the inserts that are currently in my VDS. This past weekend I purchased some review process printable inserts from Kendra Bork. I am newly obsessed with her Youtube Channel. Here are a couple of photos of my new VDS planner. You can find more on my Instagram profile @Createyou86.

I hope that you enjoyed this post, and that you are as excited as I am about seeing more posts each week. What are you doing during quarantine to keep up with planning? Let me know in the comments. I know this is a hard time for planning, but there is still plenty to be planning!
