Gold bill format for Planning

[Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Music] hi everyone Natasha here welcome to Natasha's Healthy Living where we are nurturing Wellness naturally one of the ways I like to do that is by using a paper planner which helps me take a break from the screens and be a little more Mindful and present as I plan plan out both the future and my to-do list for the day so today I have something fun for you a little Christmas Eve gift that I received and I'm so happy to share it with you this is a collection of items from Bloom planner company so stay tuned for that grab your planner or some gifts that you need to wrap and welcome to my [Music] office welcome back to my home I'm so glad you're joining me today on this Christmas Eve hopefully you're having a good one staying cozy maybe getting those last few gifts wrapped after this I need to go bake a couple of pies to bring over to my dad's house for our family Christmas at his house tonight and other than that all the gifts are wrapped so I'm feeling pretty good about things and I felt like this year I kind of simplified a little bit and all of a sudden Christmas prep was done which felt great and meanwhile just the other day I got this awesome collection of items from Bloom planner company I want to make sure I'm saying that right Bloom planners.com so they reached out to me and asked if I wanted to review some of their products and share them here on my channel and I've been looking at their products for years now and I just haven't pulled the trigger on anything particular that I wanted to try so this was a great opportunity to sort of get a surprise and get some a variety of things to look at and share with you so if you want to check out bloom I will have the links Down Below in the description and there are I love the concept and the Heart behind the company so that's definitely something to take a look at they have a lot of philanthropy and this product donation and give back program so lots of good things going on and they're a USA female founded company which is awesome too so let's take a look and we'll see what we've got here I'm going to set the stack aside so first off they sent me a collection C of stickers which I'm excited about if you've been following along then you know in the last couple of months I've been doing a little more decorating with stickers in my planner typically I use Jane's agenda inserts in my discbound planning system and I'm planning to continue that for 2025 but it's fun to have some things like this to be able to add to the planning routine and just kind of mix it up and I like stickers because I don't feel like I have to be a super creative person necessarily but I can easily add some color and maybe a little bit of function to my planner so I'm just going to spread them all out and we'll kind of take a look here let me make sure you can see everything kind of sort of and we'll go through them so this is the household chore sticker pack so it has 736 stickers eight sheets per pack five glossy and three Ron and on the back we can see the whole collection there and I love things like this because it's just something quick and fun and easy especially especially for things that are mundane that you do every week or every month then it gives you a way to add them to your planner quickly and easily without having to write things over and over again for instance I have been working on my 2025 planner setup I've been using the Jane's agenda planon that she just did last week and I attended it live and then I've also been watching the replays to go back and catch up on things that I still needed to do it was phenomenal it's by far the best planning system I have come across as far as getting ready for a new year thinking through your goals your plans your um you know tasks and all of that like I feel so much more ready for a new year than I have ever felt in my life so just a little tip about that if you want to um join or watch it again this the replay is available on the website and I am a Jane's agenda affiliate so I'll link that down below if you want to check it out and really have a way to dive deep into getting your planner set up and really thinking about your goals for the coming year what I loved about it was that it was a guided system so it wasn't just me reading something it was a chance to ask questions and actually like get some details about how um to work through some of the process so anyway that was a side tangent but one of the things I was writing over and over again in my planner was the trash day and the recycling day so first of all I love that this Sticker Collection comes with a recycling uh icon because in past years I've gotten different household chores and checklists kind of sticker packs mostly from Michaels and some of them were the reflections brand some of them were happy planner but I felt like it was harder to come across the recycling icon versus the trash icon so I'm happy to have that it looks like there's basically an even amount of those and there's even something for watering plants which I have a few little plants in my dining room that I am trying not to kill I'm not doing very well lately I think I was overwatering them so getting better on that so that's number one I'm excited to have this little um Recycling and trash bin icon page um we've got load and unload the dishwasher again that's something I tend to write in my planner often mostly it's to unload and get things you know like reset for the day and it's partly because our family is just a little family of three it's my husband myself and my daughter so we don't necessarily run our dishwasher daily I know we could do it but often it's maybe twice a week that I'm running the dishwasher so I do kind of need that reminder to unload it because it's also not even um at the same time or the same day it just depends on how the week has gone and we have some habit trackers down here which are also just useful and easy to stick into a planner somewhere these are some cute ones so we've got I think this is like a laundry wash icon uh this is a little hanger laundry icon sorry everyone's home from school and break so the kids are all out on their various motorized vehicles for pleasure so we've got four-wheelers and that was a little motorbike there's lots of that going on today so you might hear that again uh anyway so we have the hanger icon that says laundry this is a little basket so there's basically different variations of the laundry theme this is the washing machine and then this is like the laundry hamper so those are really cute and just something fun to add to my planner um hopefully you can see all that yeah okay then we've got some cleaning related ones so we have vacuuming uh just a spray bottle soapy water in a bucket a sponge which is good cuz you could use these for multiple things they could be for the car but you could just use them as a general cleaning icon a car wash one which I kind of like that too I don't usually usually um like have a routine for a car wash necessarily but there are some days or some weeks where I think oh yeah I need to make sure that when I'm in town whatever day I do that um because I don't go to town every day I have one job where I work in the larger Town nearby which is where the nearest car wash is uh and I do that two days a week so I kind of have to plan my errands around those two days that I know I'm going to be in that bigger town uh here he comes back again at least he's got his helmet on that's good and then we have um just some like outdoor chore icons sweeping raking there's a shovel and Spade watering these are all kind of cute they'll be fun to use in the spring and I like that we have the little dut donut I think I'm thinking of breakfast I need to eat some breakfast soon donate box I like that I turn that into donut uh so we have that too cuz I definitely have lots of decluttering to work on that's a never- ending process at my house so then we have these which are more just like planner and reminder icons we've got a clipboard little notepad like a little push pin note um just the three items in a little ombre effect there on that sticker these are just like a label icon and then the three hearts that you could use as a task list or habit tracker of some sort these are kind of nice this is um an area where or a sticker that it gives you an area to write in what you're going to do so these all say clean in different colors I like that they give us different color options and then these all say declutter so those will be great I can use those with my um Zone cleaning or you know however I want to if I just need to remember to do something I've got those and these are little mini icons of a lot of the same things we've just seen so we've got laundry basket laundry machine ironing hanging uh or hanger icons there's a looks like snow shovel rake the leaves sweeping clean cleaning with a spray bottle vacuuming watering uh mowing which actually those might be kind of Handy just because we actually have someone we pay to mow cuz my husband works so much overtime and neither of us want to do it basically and we can afford to and so that's one of the things that's sort of like our gift to ourselves is we pay someone to mow because we also have a almost 3 acre lot that we have to mow anyway it'll be good to have that because if nothing else it'll remind me to send the check once a month whenever I get the invoice for that and we have a little flower icon there the wheelbarrow grass tools so it could be like to fix something or even to get car repairs scheduled there's a pet icon car home grocery shopping we've got two rows of the uh dollar symbol hopefully you can see that I could have brought it closer that would have been helpful phone calls urgent Little Star and then the checkbox so lots of very easy to use icons I like the color palette and then the last one is just sort of a little collection of fun stickers here so we have um the clean windows one just a little home one painting uh what does that say my clean house I miss you that's cute so a lot of these are home and chore related me time there's one for that it's okay not to do it all that's a good one too check smoke detectors uh laundry today or naked tomorrow that is cute home sweet home couple of those let's get ready to go oh let's get ready to R to Tumble that is fun so some cute ones that just um kind of remind you to do some of the cleaning chores so that is our sticker pack again some really fun ones these are going to be very useful I feel like they'll be an quick and easy way just to add some fun and function to my planner which is something that I always appreciate so that's the household chore sticker pack then we have a couple of notepads so this is the grocery notepad which I'm excited to check out because we just kind of do a typical grocery list on the side of the fridge this so it has the two magnets on the back and gosh this is a lot of pages and this feels like a heavier paper which is nice let's see this is 6 by9 I don't know if it tells me on there how many pages but you can probably find that info on the website I'm looking at the pack list to see I don't see anything there either but hopefully you can see so we've got produce and I like that they've given us some of the common ones and then areas to write in others canned goods bake baking spices for the home and we have beverages Frozen Foods paper and plastic condiments Breads and Grains Deli uh snacks meat and protein toiletries Dairy and pet care so I feel like they've definitely thought of everything plus it's a cute little notepad and easy to stick on the fridge so you could just check off the ones that you need to get that week and I like things like this too because it it kind of triggers your memory if you think oh I've got everything on my list but then you kind of peruse through here you might come up with a few things that you've been thinking to you know you need to get but you kind of forget for me often it's things like the toiletries where when I'm in the bathroom I re remember or realize that oh yeah I need to get that soon but then by the time I make it down to the kitchen I have forgotten and didn't write it on my list so if you're like me then something like this might be handy so that is really cute and simple but it looks like it's going to be very effective and easy to use so that's the grocery notepad and then we have a I think this is called a daily yeah 6x9 planning system pad and this is the floral dots design so for this one this one is not magnetic so this is something you would have sitting on your desk first of all it's so cute I love the little floral design and that it's kind of colorful gives you something pretty to sit on your desk so it says Bloom into the best version of yourself and we have top priorities a space for three you can write your date and what you're grateful for then we have to-do list a nice uh collection there of to-do dots and uh lines important time time so you have a space for four um appointments you could write in for the day and let's see 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 um to-do list items so you could have quite of an extensive list on there I like that we have a place for our meals and snacks breakfast lunch dinner and snack and then um if you're tracking your water you've got your water icons there notes and ideas so just a place to job down anything you would need to WR there it could be even stuff for tomorrow exercise or self-care so just a little reminder to do that and these are just all going to be the same so you would just tear off you know as you go through each day then tear off the pad or the paper from that pad and start fresh the next day so that's another very useful one something fun and I think with something like this um it's just it's really handy when you don't want to do a big planner so I actually might gift that to someone I know I'm going to see if she's interested in it but she's just not a planner person she does most everything digitally but then every once in a while she'll say I kind of wish I had just something to write my to-do list on for the day so that might be a good gift for her okay so now we have this planner so this is their 5x9 blue wildly and this is called the vision planner now this is something that I have looked at multiple times and I'm just still in love with my discs so I haven't really needed to get something that's a spiral bound planner but I do love their concept and I love their design so this is really fun to be able to check it out with you and just kind of see what it's all about see if this is something that would ever work for me I plan to gift this one um to somebody if she's interested so if not there may be a giveaway on my channel soon so keep an eye out for that if I have no one in my own life that wants it then um I'm happy to do a giveaway which would be a fun way to kind of kick off the New Year so one of the things I like about Bloom is that they have some mindfulness and goal setting aspects built into their planners they have several different varieties of planners so this one is the goal and vision one they have one that's more just an everyday daily planner but they're still going to have some of the same aspects so definitely check out the website if you're looking for something like this so this is the calendar year January through December I like that we have not only a place for your contact info but a mission statement for your ideal year so it asks how will you bloom and then a place for your word of the year then we have some information about the company and again some of those wonderful aspects about you know the core and the Heart of the company which is just awesome to have in there we have our 2025 year at a glance with a space to write down three um events or appointments or just things you want to remember you could do birthdays there if you wanted to a letter to myself that New Year momentum is so powerful but life will inevitably distract from it on a really good day write a letter to your future self who is having a tough day include whatever you think you would need or want to hear in that moment refer back to this when you need a boost to get back on track with your goals which is just a wonderful idea so dear me lots of space to write sincerely and you put your name and it says amazing capable human so that's a sweet little element to add to your plan planner where you are and where you're going rate each area of Your Life currently and analyze why you chose that number in the box below what are the positives and negatives of each what steps can you take to move your ratings closer to a 10 if not already there you will have a chance to rescore at the end of the year to see your progress again a really succinct and helpful way to think about each air of your life with a little bit of guidance but room to put in notes and kind of work through it as you would want to so we have personal growth relationships health and fitness so those are all kind of personal related family and home work and school and finances those are kind of others and areas of your life and then fun and Adventure which can kind of Encompass both your own life and those in your family if you wanted it to plus she gives us or they give us two more areas if you want to add two additional um areas of your life to rate and things not to-do we often think in terms of to-do lists but what about not to-do lists what can you stop doing to get you closer to your goals and examples are others responsibilities things you can't control things that drain you and what's okay to be left undone and another great reminder and just chance to think about a different way to go into the New Year all right then we have a page talking about values values regulate how you respond to negative positive situations in your life if your goals are in line with your values you are more likely to succeed and be motivated Circle or write some of your most important values and choose the most significant what changes are you going to make moving forward to better align with these values so they give us a nice list of common values there's things on here like accountability ambition authenticity belonging consistency Community compassion lots of those all the way down to trust and usefulness then you could write in yours or pick your favorites and write those in and we also have a section where it says the year of more so you put the things you want to continue to do more of and the things of less the things you want to let go of and stop doing this page we have my joy list what brings you peace and happiness what do you love about yourself refer back to this page when you need a boost so that's awesome that's a nice little reminder just to have that list in your planner whenever you need a little pickme up I love myself because and they give us the prompt I am so that's a great way to think about the best of yourself and how to celebrate that I feel best when and they have some prompts here I spend my time I take care of myself by I nourish my body by I connect with I make sure to I make sure not to and I am so some great prompts to think about what to do to continue to feel good so we have plan to bloom I am a completely different person than who I was last year and I'll be a completely new person in this time next year I can't wait to learn who I will be so we have a section for your top five goals for the year things to look forward to new things I would like to try books I would like to read things to improve upon things to be grateful for and this year's bucket list so this is a great place just to encapsulate all those different areas and put them on one page we have a spot for a vision board and they do give us a link if you want to learn how to create a vision board and you can share it there in their free community then we have my ideal week so my it says what daily weekly habits and routines help you feel your best and allow you to show up as your very best self document them here so we have a place for morning routine evening routine and a weekend routine which is nice simply because often we have those down days on the week that we might have a little bit different routine plus we have individual days of the week so you can note that here if you have a schedule that's different each day like I do then that can be helpful and then on this side we have weekly scheduling template use this page to track recurring weekly commitments like work class meetings Etc PL plus your healthy habits from the previous page life will happen so it won't always look like this but this page can serve as a visual template for a well-balanced week print more at Bloom planners.com I love things like this because as you're thinking ahead for the year and working on plans and goals and dreams it is really nice to start with that framework of what does my time look like in a given week and a given day so that you can be realistic about how much time you have to devote to different things and to keep things more in Balance if you can see visually where your time is going to others and other Comm commments and what time you have for yourself and for your own personal commitments then we have the monthly so this is kind of a budgeting section we have a monthly spending summary so oops I should have just left it this way so for this we have the 12 months at the top we have a spot to write your income and your expenses so this is just sort of a quick little at a glance page monthly expenses monthly savings annual income annual expenses and annual savings across the bottom and then this page says monthly bill tracker and when we turn that you can see we have a place for the bill so you'd write that down here the due date for each bill the amount due you can Circle or highlight whether it's an auto pay or not and then the 12 months and a box for each line item so that you can record when that bill got paid again just very simple easy to use useful um I think these are really welld designed and so handy to have in your planner especially if you're wanting this to just be the one thing that you take with you and keep track of everything in your life then we have a habit tracking place so it says 12 lines below allow you to track one daily habit for a full month for an entire year repeat the same habits month to month track a new habit each month or anything in between so they've got the lines to write the habit and then the 31 days so you'd have a place for each day of the month and like they said you could do you know 12 different habits for the entire year or um have one per month that you're tracking there's lots of ways you can do that they also have this monthly task tracker down here so if it's just one habit um that you're trying or I should say a habit that you would do once a month then you could have those listed here and track across then we have random acts of kindness Bloom is proud to team up with the random acts of kindness Foundation to help make kindness the norm and challenge our community to complete 24 acts of kindness this year we've included one specific idea per month plus a space to write in your own monthly color in the Heart below to track your progress find more kindness ideas at this link so we have one for each month January it says invite a new friend or colleague for coffee or tea February pickup trash around your neighborhood March relay and over compliment so just some really nice ideas all the way down to December leave snacks and refreshments for delivery drivers in a world where you can be anything be kind so I think that's a really sweet addition to the planner as well then we have some notes pages so we can just go through uh and have extra pages for notes so we have one two 3 4 and then we go into the last week of the year of 2024 so we have this vertical weekly layout and at the top it has a quote this one says worry does not take away tomorrow's troubles just today's piece isn't that good a place for a weekly Focus they have the highligh is holidays listed at the top and we have our month out of glance calendar here a place for habit tracker and notes in between so you can do one two three four five different habits and then on each each daily column you have just the lines so you could do this as hourly if you wanted to you could do it as a task list you could do any combination thereof you could have your appointments listed at the top and then your tasks you could space out your appointments with tasks in between there's lots of ways to use this and then the section at the bottom is just open so you could use that for whatever you want it could be gratitude it could be meals it could be self-care it could be your kindness item if you want wanted to really focus on that for a week and put your one act of kindness and then we have a place to track your water intake and then we're going to get into the end of the month so uh I flipped through this earlier so it looks like prior to the start of each monthly tab the last page of the previous month will have this Vision page so it says write out your goal or vision for each category pick one to commit to focusing on this month so we're back to those categories that we rated at the beginning and then at the bottom it says number one goal I am committing to make happen this month so it gives you a place for just that main first goal that you want to focus on or the priority goal plus three action steps and then we go into the monthly tab so the laminated tab is this is just on the same uh weight of paper as the rest of the pages the tab itself or the tab page I should should say so here's the monthly overview you have a quote at the top this says are you current are your current daily habits and routines aligned with the goals you set for 2025 if not how can you adjust to make small progress daily then we have the previous month and the month ahead at a glance calendars the monthly uh spread here goes Sunday through Saturday I like that the weekend days are different color to help you denote those and you have your holidays listed at the bottom of each Square the boxes go right to the edge so really only have this border at the top and then you do have a notes column on the side and then you just go right into your first week so these are all going to be the same except that the little quote at the top is going to change so that's where you'll see something different each time and then we go into the last page of the month we've got that same at a glance Vision page as we lead up to the next month and it's just going to continue like that through all of the monthly pages and yeah so these Vision Pages stay the same we do have a different quote so I should go back and be a little more diligent here so here's January here's February life is too short to not love who you are January said start before you are ready February no March choose your choose purpose over perfect here's April if you weren't ready you wouldn't have the opportunity uh may I skipped one may live simply Bloom wildly June believe that people believe the people that believe in you July you are beautiful brilliant and brave August grow with the flow September Embrace every possibility October don't stop until you are proud November your only limit is your mind and December throw kindness around like confetti and then we have our monthly page our weekly vertical design and then the very last page so we're going to end with Wednesday the 31st that worked out well so this last page has it's a little bit oh it's a couple Pages that's why it feels heavier so we have monthly highlights so it's a place to put a highlight for each of the months we have a 2026 add a glance calendar and then we have important dates for next year which is handy because you can both have some main things listed here but also have some extra events like your school calendar or something listed there then a year of growth this is that reflection page again like they mentioned at the beginning so it says um take a moment to reflect on this past year how far you have come and how much potential you have to continue to grow compare these scores with the ones you set on page five use the boxes to highlight any memories lessons or takeaways so we have the same categories and then a spot at the bottom where it says lessons I learned how to improve and how I will remember this year then it came with another sticker page so this is a cute one it's just a little bit of everything we've got gratitude some appointment deadline urgent errands things like that some little icons little don't forget things or today's goals um some money related ones some shopping birthdays and then just some fun stickers here with quotes at the bottom and it also came with with a magnetic bookmark so you can use this to track where you are within the planner one side says forget Perfection just let's just make progress and it's got the bloom icon on the back so you can just have that as your little bookmark to turn to wherever you are in the planner so this is a really beautiful um planner with a lot of function and purpose and thoughtfulness in the design also there's the pocket at the back and that pocket is attached to the back cover so that's going to be the hard chipboard cover we do have the corners protected so it's really a beautiful planner design and functional with a lot of um sturdiness that it's built into the planers that it will last the whole year so definitely something to check out if you're on the hunt for a spiral bound planner that has a little bit of everything then I think this is a really good option so that is everything that I got in my little kit from Bloom so we have the stickers we have the two notepads the groceries and the everyday notepad so some really fun items that I'm excited to either share with someone or enjoy using myself so definitely check out the links below for the bloom planners um if you want to see a little bit more or find something specific they have lots of other items too so this is just sort of a little taste of what they have available on their website but some really good ones and I wanted to just show you really quickly then where I am with my 2025 planner I think the next video I do will be a little more of a full flip through I think that'll fit on there so um this one's just kind of a little quick highlight cuz I wanted to update you after going through that planon and I'm not completely finished yet but I've gone through quite a bit of the different tasks that we went through so this is my Jane's agenda shell Snap-on cover I went with a 1 and 1/2 in discs in Gold so I'm really enjoying just the overall look of the planner I'm glad that it's a little bit lighter and thinner than what I was carrying around and I have the cover from the January box on there with the 2025 Vellum and the Jan of uh card stock on there so that's kind of the cover page then we go into the beginning pages that we got I did get my personal year page set up so this comes from the Louise Hay colors and numbers um book which I use if you follow me then you know this is something I typically use to decide my word of the year my word of the month my color scheme for my wardrobe so it's this book here if you're interested and I'll have it linked down below so for me my word of the year for 2025 is achievement which is exciting and I feel like this all speaks to how I'm feeling going into the start of the new year and I like the affirmation that goes along with it so that'll be just something fun to kind look back on as I go through the year typically what I've been doing is the front page is the personal year information and then the back is where I do a review of the year and a recap of the year now I haven't completely gone through these planning and goal Pages yet that we got but I did add in things like my daughter's school calendar um I teach PSR with our church so I have my PSR schedule in there my Eucharistic Minister schedule my family birth birthday schedule I have all of that in there and then we go into the goals Pages which I haven't filled those out yet because I've been using my planon workbook so the planon comes with a a 55 page workbook I printed mine double-sided so it's about 20 what is that 26 Pages 27 pages so um I've been working through things there and then that's one of the next phases I want to work on after Christmas is breaking down down those goals into some more specific details and timelines here on some of these Pages I'm not sure yet if I'll use the quarterly ones I do like how those are laid out but then we also have these annual goals and I may use multiples for different things so that's what I'll be sharing next is that how that's all gone have not set up the reference Pages yet but what I did add was at the very back I think did I oh no I ended up so I have my my perpetual calendar page with my family birthdays and I was debating about whether to put that in the reference section or the future section but I ended up putting it in the future section and then I just have the meetings and projects um planner Pages here these are just tabbed from this was something we got in a Jane's agenda subscription box so I felt like this was good to have all these different reference Pages up front and then go into my calendar pages so what I've done through this plon process is first of all I have January just about all set up so I have my tasks and recurring tasks like the trash and the recycling which I know I don't need to write those but it's amazing how many weeks go I go through the week and then I start planning the next week and go oh yeah today is trash day I mean even though I know it it just is good to have that reminder I have our family birthdays written in I have special events like my Jordan Essentials leader Summit which is coming up in January my monthly reoccurring commitments like I'm on the board for our little Chamber of Commerce here in our town and I'm the secretary so I have to be at those meetings and I have my task list which came from the planon process so this is amazing to go into the month of January with such a clear picture of things that I want to be working on and some of the focus items that I have for myself this is a long list so I'm not sure that I'm going to get through all of them but part of the process of setting up the planner is just really thinking through what could you do what could you back plan for certain upcoming events and so that's why this January page is pretty long and then you know as I go through January and do the most important things then what's left over will just get moved to February I have my January personal month page and again on the back will be my uh review at the end of the month and then the only thing that I did wrong when I was setting this up is I got an extra do grid page and and then I remembered what I have been doing which worked out great was to use the front and back page from my weekly planner inserts from Jane's agenda for typically that's what I would do is have one of these that's the personal page and one of them that's a gratitude or highlights page and I just forgot to do that so that's okay I have some extra dot grid pages to use for all those things I have some basic coloring added but you know the Highlight just kind of makes it look pretty it's not necessary and I don't know that I'll continue do doing that but um and I don't have well I think this is basically our full schedule because we're you know everything's kind of on hold for the first week of the month um so that really is I think all that I have down to do um and then we have these daily Pages which these will be I'm ready for a change so I'm actually kind of looking forward to having these in here to use because number one they're double-sided so I don't have the extra notes page on the back but then I also don't feel so bad when I don't use it and it's just a big blank page that goes into my long-term archive planner so and they're undated so then if I have several days in a row where I'm not using them that's fine too so I have those all set up in there then we can go I'll just flip through the monthly so you can kind of see how much I've gotten set up already for my monthlies and I just have to say that that whole planning process through the planon has really been it's such a refreshing change to go into the year like it's not even the end of the year yet and I have so much information tasks that I've thought about events planned you know family birthdays in here I have everything that I would normally add already in here so I think as I'm going through each month having this part done ahead of time is just going to make it feel like it's such an easy transition month to month and of course things will change so I wrote everything in my friction erasable pens but it'll just give me that piece of mind that I can really look ahead and plan out you know well how things are going and you can kind of see as I'm flipping through because I'm using up some of my stash my planner monthly pages are each a little different just depends on what version of a Jane's agenda monthly I'm using so for some of them the tasks end up being on the monthly planner page and there's just front and back blank pages I can use so we have that here some of them like this is the executive uh design so for these then your task list is actually on the front cover and you have a place for projects and goals so I have that there so it's just kind of fun too that have these little changes as I go through the several months at a time it's it's not necessarily all grouped together but that's kind of how it's worked out so here we are up to August and I have as much as I know for August in there including the first day of school and of course our um Jordan vention is our annual convention for Jordan Essentials and it's always exciting because that's the launch of our fall winter catalog February 1st is when the spring and summer catalog launches so I have that in here as well and just a reminder for myself in January as I get more information for that um spring catalog spring catalog launch to be thinking ahead and planning ahead so it feels so good to have that stuff written down to remind me and Trigger my memory so I'm not going into the month with all these things coming at me and I'm not prepared and I haven't thought about them it just feels really nice to have some of that done already and I even made myself some notes like talking to my family in October to see if we can try to figure out the Thanksgiving plan because every year it's a little different and we're always sort of trying to figure it out last minute some people usually know ahead of time others don't so it' be nice to get that process started a little earlier I have my fly lady through cruising through the holidays weeks listed to REM me when that starts so just having so much of this laid out and I've thought about it and I've you know set it down in my planner it feels really good to start out the Year this way and to know that it's going to be a better tool to help me focus on my goals and my tasks and be more organized and productive without feeling like I'm just scrambling to stay caught up all the time so that is where I am currently now I don't have any Pages after my December and I'm not sure what I'm going to do I may put some of my blank pages back here it may change I might have to take some of my blank pages and the reference section out if I go through to empty out my current planner and decide there's a lot of pages I want to add to this then it might change what I'm actually housing in here right now it still closes but it's getting to be a little uh iffy on how much more I can put in here to close but my goal is to really keep this as um minimal as I can as far as what I'm carrying with me so that all of my other bigger goals and projects especially for my different businesses can just live here at my desk cuz typically if I'm going to my accounting job I'm not working on those anyway so having a little smaller planner and lighter planner will feel good so that's everything I have for you today thank you so much for joining me I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas I'm sending you my love and well wishes I know holidays are bittersweet for a lot of us they're just it
