A couple years ago, I decided I needed to be more organized in my life with scheduling and to-do lists (yay for adulting...), which was very overdue considering I'll be 40 next year...better late than never! XD

I've never been good at keeping Planner-Planners (they gave me a free one at my previous job ever year and they uh, went entirely unmarked).

However! Then I came across the Bullet Journal method, and I thought "maybe that will work." And it did! For a spell, anyway.

At first I tried the more elaborate, decorative spreads, but that got overwhelming very quickly. I ended up watching a Youtuber who recommended going back to the Bare Basics, and you know what? She was right.

I stripped everything down to the absolute bare basics of the BuJo method with only a Monthly Log and Daily Logs, as well as switching to a pocket sized Leuchtturm1917 to carry with me, and that's been working well for nearly a year.

Until it hasn't.

I am very bad about not checking my Monthly log to see what is coming up on my dailies, as well as leaving it in my purse where I forget about it. Tis past weekend I didn't look at it at all!

I had to remind myself that change is good and if something isn't working, you can modify it. You can change it!

So I am switching to a Planner that has pages already filled for all the days. That way I can write upcoming events and appointments directly on the date instead of on a monthly log I need to check every day.

I am hoping this works, and if it doesn't, I'll just go back to the bare basics BuJo method with my trusty pocket journal.

I need to be more flexible and stop anxiety from winning every time I want to change things in my life.

And if anyone is curious, this is the planner I chose (for now):
Clever Fox Daily Planner 2nd Edition – Undated Time Block Task Organizer with Hourly Schedule & to-do List – A5, 6 Months (Rose Gold) https://a.co/d/i8H8kOg

It has some added things like Weekly Reflections and gratitudes that I did at the start of my BuJo journey and then stopped as time went on.

Wish me luck! :D
