One Life One Planner (Filofax, Bullet Journal, ECLP, Midori TN, etc.)?

In this post we discuss if it make any sense to have one planner for one life.

As a Youtuber, I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I noticed that as the planneraddict' bag has bitten more and more people, people start to show A LOT of planners. I'm thinking "wow, that's a lot of planners to keep track of!" I feel that people just making an exuse to keep buying them. Or keep buying them and then thinking of reasons to use them because they DO have an expiraion date.

 I have always thought that of a lot of planners as a burden. I don't want to keep a lot of planners. I am highly visual person, so I have to keep them always in front of my eyes just to remember to use them. Out of sight is out of mind for me. And who has time to keep up with all of them? This was the reason to use a Filofax. I could use as much paper as I want for ANY aspects of my life, and combine them all into one place. I could take the current neccessary papers with me, and leave what I don't want at home. It was important to me to have a uniformed look of my ages, so I have the whole life in the uniformed archive.

Now I think I need to have a separate blog and YouTube channel. And I really need a spare place for my brainstorming, mind maps, and braindumps. I also would like to mainain a planner/tracker for my daughter's school performance and personal development. I wouldn't mind also to have a family memory binder just for history records.

I'm torned.

What about you? Do you have a separate planner for different sides of your life? How do you use them?

How my Planner (Filofax) Helps me to Keep my Anxieties Down

It's really easy.

1. I use a brain dump section to literally dump on paper whatever is bothering me. I use paper all the time to do it. And I especially make an effort to do it at each evening to help me sleep more peacefully. 
2. I preplan my day in the evening. I work full time, and also like to sleep as much as possible, so mornings are not the best time to plan for the day for me. Also, because I preplan my day in the evening, I sleep better, it serves the same purpose as the 1st option!
3. I use a tracker in my planner for daily/weekly/monthly/yearly chores, for tracking my health issues, my sleep patterns. It helps me to see at a glance what I did wrong or right and repeat the right way of doing it. This way I know EXACTLY how to do it and don't have to think hard and worry if I have done something wrong, and how to track any issues that I had in the past
4. Frequently I worry about my performance on goals that I have set to myself. I don't want to be a looser that have not accomplished anything. I write all my projects, brainstorm, and divide big projects into smallest steps, and schedule them into my everyday life, as well as check the DONE part. I especially enjoy to cross things off my to do list, I have almost physical enjoyment from crossing off to-do's! Often, if not always, I write my DONE tasks on the paper just to be proud of myself and motivate myself to do more!

Do you do it the same way? If not, how do you do it?

Do We Need to Spend Money to Plan?

In this post we discuss on the need to spend money to plan.

What is the cost of planning?

This question puzzled me. Plannernerds usually spend a lot of money on planner supplies. Even I have a lot of planner suplies - washies, post-it's, pens, stickers, flags, inserts that have never been used, planners that have never been used. A lot of of this stuff was sent to me. I did spent a lot of money on different organizers. I do buy pens.

So how much do I spend on planning? In the very core, not much. I buy the paper to print my inserts. I have a printer that I hope will serve at least several years, and yes, unfortunately, I have to buy the ink. I have a Filofax that serves me for two years already and will serve me for several more years, if not decades. And really, that's all. I am a very practical planner. Open the organizer, write it down, and I'm done. Oh, I forgot a pen. Anybody has a pen that is laying around.

So what is a real price for planning? For me it's a Filofax, printer, ink, paper, and a pen.
But that's because I have chosen to print my own inserts. I like them.
If you count the total that I have spent, and divide the cost over YEARS that I use them, the cost per day of using it is not that high.
So in a total run, anyone could use just the basic tools that they already have in their house: a spare notebook and a pen.

Several people have writen to me that they cannot afford to plan. What they don't realize is that planning is not about the tools, it's about the way how to plan. Well, that's a whole another topic, and I have made this blog and a YouTube channel on this topic. I write blog posts and make videos on my planner setup so people will learn how to do it.

What about you? Do you spend a lot of money to plan?
