‘Tis the season. No, not just because of the holidays…but also because it is time for setting up a planner! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. You know I love me a good planner (I used to even make and sell my own to make sure it was perfect!), so I always look forward to prepping a new planner for the next year. This year, I am shaking things up a bit, and that includes a few new items…
(…and these few new items are linked using Amazon Associate links. It helps me help you!)
INAMIO 24 HOUR PLANNER – 8.5 X 11
My planner, the Inamio 24 Hour Planner, for 2023 is a beefy friend, but it is a weekly layout with 24 hour days, and that is huge for me (they also have a smaller version, too). I like having my whole week and day laid out before me so I can see where I have pockets of free time. It helps me be more efficient and use my time a smidge more wisely, so I was excited to find this one.
ZEBRA MIDLINER HIGHLIGHTERS
When it comes to my planners, I am big into color coding. These highlighters are my favorite, as they are vibrant without being annoyingly fluorescent. I love them.
UNIBALL JETSREAM ULTRA-FINE POINT ROLLER BALL PENS
Pens are my love language, for sure. I will try any pen. I love how these ones pair with the Inamio, as they are super fine point and write beautifully on the paper and within the grid of the pages. Super smooth, and literally to the point, they are great.
PRINT AND CUT STICKERS FROM PLAN SO CUTE
I learned this year that I can make stickers with my Cricut–I know, I know; I was behind the times, as apparently everyone else knew this in 2020. This cute Etsy shop has some of the sweetest designs for planners, and I couldn’t help but get a few for my 2023 planner.
YOKATO TIMER CUBE
How can a timer be associated with a planner? It’s to keep me in line while setting it up! My plan is to spend a half hour every Sunday prepping my pages for the week. I could use my phone, but I guarantee I’ll get lost on IG before I even get started…so this little square will give me few distractions and more direction for work.
I feel so lost without a planner, and I know that 2023’s plan of attack for set up will allow me to find more time and peace. I hope these tips can direct you towards the same.
