Stop-Planner Time!

No, Seriously, stop.

So many planner reviews, so little time..

Hi, my name is Jenny and I have a stationary problem. No, I am not joking, I keep watching these youtube "influencers," and they are really, really just that. Influencing me to buy the next shiny bright thing. Allow me to show you my planner stack and the tools I am using for the next little while; until I get bored and want the next pretty thing.

The trick is really figuring out what you want to do and then find the planner that works for that activity. I want to write, it is so funny that all these years I have been working on making journals rather than writing in them. I have made that comment (Joke) before.

I am not trying to say that what I have to say isn't interesting, because, well, it is. I believe we all have a purpose. I always believed mine was to write. I do have to do the other boring things that go with writing; editing, proof reading and updating.

I am using a bookstore bought calendar and I am going back to my most organized system. I have to go back to what works for me. That is my suggestion also-- to do what works for me. if you do what works for you then you will make it work.

in order to complete that: I have to: (List all the things you can think of : here are some real examples from my to do list: pet the cat, drink coffee, watch youtube. eat some popcorn. eat more popcorn.

as you can imagine this to do list isn't really focused on a particular goal at all and there fore if followed as religously as I do, I wll not accomplish anything except divroticulitous and a happy cat.

Anyway, In order to plan you have to have a goal.

What we really need

Focus. A goal. Determination.

I have watched all these videos-- Watching you tube is an excellent way to get motivated. just kidding. I te

Begin where you are.

Just start the thing. Do one little thing to get you going on your path and keep doing that.
