How to Choose a Planning System for Your Personality

It’s back-to-school season, and if you’re anything like me, then you get a little thrill when the stores fill up with new office supplies, pens, notebooks, and more.

And of course, I always stock up on my faves . . . flashy new planners!

Sometimes I’ll get a new planner and try it out for a few days or weeks, but for whatever reason, it doesn’t seem to mesh with my life.

Maybe the size is too big. Or it doesn’t have a habit tracker. Or the ink from my pen bleeds through the cheap paper. 

So then the planner is chucked into the back of the closet or gathers dust on a forgotten shelf. 

Sound familiar?

My planner problem is usually because I didn’t take the time to figure out what I need from a planning system and how it must adapt to my current situation, habits, and priorities.

Let’s get intentional about planning before we open our wallets!
