March 2019 | Petite Monthly Planner #ErinCondren

To be honest, I’ve just been a little uninspired with my like regular planner. I just don’t like it, but you know I get in these ruts. Sometimes – and I know a lot of you do too, but today I wanted to share this planet right here, which I’ve actually really been liking, and I am going to be doing since I do back planning I’m going to be sharing my month of March.

So this is the Erin Condren, 2019 monthly planner. I believe these are called the petit planners they’re. Just like I don’t know like a bound flexible planner. Oh whoops, I already put the washi I want to use in here, but yeah, it’s just it’s a lot smaller than the regular life planner. As you can see – and I don’t know – I just really like these – and I think it’s nice because you could like throw it in your bag or put it in your like drawer at work or just even like leave it on your desk at work or whatever.

But yeah so I mean I think I did a article on this a while ago with a bunch of other things and, to be honest, I haven’t been using the other things at all, but I really like this, so this is what I did in January. You know not a ton but some stuff and then in February I really slacked but anyways in March. I haven’t done anything yet, but I have my other calendar off to the side here. So we’re going to fill some things in.

Let me see if I can kind of get this to lay a little flatter. I know we’re kind of in the beginning and then anyways all the way through. So it has the whole year and then it has like a ton and notes pages that are aligned, which is nice, and it’s got like a little flap right here. If you want to, you know, throw like an invitation in there or some paperwork that you need or whatever so anyway, let’s get to planning y’all, I haven’t pulled out any stickers.

I just pulled out some washi because there’s something that I need to put in for the washi situation, so the first thing I’m going to put in is on the same day I had two different kind of food dates with people, so I got ta find some Appropriate stickers for that you need to find myself some, like smaller event stickers. I think I have some here in my Christian designs, binder, not really sure we are going to see what I have, because these boxes are way smaller than like this, which is like you know, normally fits like an Erin Condren vertical, but I think, have some smaller Ones in here I’ve got way too much Christian design stuff in here, but I guess you can never.

You can never have enough right, guys. Okay, where does little that? Yes, maybe you don’t have any more use them up? Hmm yeah! Ah, this is what I’m looking for right here. These guys right there now, if y’all, are interested, it’s the ka D, 0, 0, 2, 3, 2. So all right, I’m going to pull this one out and use up what a can of that, and I got my pens as always alright. So the first thing was, I had lunch with my friend Heather and we just went to Panda Express we both kind of work by each other, so she actually works from home, but that week she didn’t.

So we made a lunch date, and this month I’m not going to be like really going with any specific theme at all. I have these little guys. I think this sticker company I couldn’t find a while ago. I don’t know I mean I’ll link everything down below whatever I can find so, but yeah. I got these a long time ago like when I first started planning and I still love them and then also that same evening um.

I did a little go wild thing with Jodi and Ryan and I don’t know if I’ve posted this yet by the time that this goes up. But these are like all my go: wild stickers that I have purchased for the trip, so I figured I would use. Maybe one of these some of these something like that, I don’t know and just see you see what I want to use in here – maybe able to use one of these that has like a little go wild on here.

This is from planner topia. I only have so much room to write, earn all right, I’m going to have to cut this one for sure, but we met up for some dinner that evening, which was delicious then the next day these are from my studios. I actually bought our pajamas because we talked to all about it, so I’m just going to put here by pajamas up just a little bit super cute all right and that Wednesday I also had a QC meetings.

I’m going to put that in lots of quality control at work yay. I have that and then actually at a doctor’s appointment on Thursday met with doctor lady, so much fun. Guy is so much fun, not really, but you know whatever right. I got these cute little doctor people who’s put that in and since were on the doctor theme. Because of that doctor’s appointment, I had an ultrasound everything’s, fine, I’m fine Dori! I had an ultrasound the next week, so we’re going to just put that in as well we’ll probably get questions.

No, I am not pregnant, because ultrasounds don’t necessarily mean that you’re pregnant okay, another doctor appointment sticker and do it like a dad I’ll put in another hello Doctor person, I think I said, was entirely a doctor’s appointment. It was just more of a like a tech appointment kind of a thing, but either way putting it in anyways all right. That was it for doctor stuff. I think yes, it was.

It was and then moving on to this week and I kind of jumped around sorry I was sick, so I had a migraine which really really stinks. So I chose not to work from home that day because migraine – and I didn’t want to look at a screen at all – all right and my Christian design spender. I’m going to use this. It says sick day, but there’s like a little tissue on here the suit these are like the Cindy lettering stickers, which are so cute, and I also have these once more with love headache stickers.

So I’m going to kind of put these together somehow some way I’ve never used one of these clearly. So let’s use a pink wine, and that was on this day right here. Oh I hate getting migraines you guys it just really sucks I’ll use. One of these little dudes – maybe I’ll, put it oh yeah yeah here I’ll, put it right over the little tissues because I didn’t have a cold. I had a migraine which made no fun, no fun, guys, no fun all right and then I’m Tuesday.

I had an oil change and I just found these stickers. I cut them all up, because I’ve stored my stickers in like a bajillion different ways, so these are actually from Adriana Piper, which are super cute and it’s like a whole. I don’t know if she still has the sticker sheet. Maybe she does I’m not really sure I bought these a long time ago like years ago, but it’s like a big kind of like car maintenance like auto maintenance sheet, so yeah but yeah.

I did that on the 12 and I’m just going to write that it was at 5:00 p.M. Okay, perfect and then I don’t really have anything notable for the rest of the week and then now I need some washi and this washi. I got from Michaels and it was part of the first Christian designs launch at Michaels. I know there’s like a second season right now. I don’t know if it’s a season, I’m probably calling it the wrong thing.

Sorry Kristen! If you’re reading, I’m not really sure, but there was like a you know like new stuff, which is kind of cool, I haven’t you know. To be honest, I haven’t been to a Michaels in such a long time, but I did get some of the Christian design stuff for Michaels. This is part of the washi that I had purchased and it doesn’t come on a bobbin like this. I just rolled it onto a bobbin cuz. That’s how I store my washi.

I you know, don’t prefer it in a full roll. That’s just me, and then let’s see, I should do this as well I’ll mark down what these are in just a minute, all right. So at work, my coworker that works remotely was here during this time and then I had to do some training with her remotely cuz. She was back in her home then, and she works from out of state. So we did lots of training together this week.

All right, her name is Sarah. I’m going to use one of these little cute stickers from mom. Let’s see here, plan about it. Burke there we go. These are the these. Are the tiniest desks that I have you cute cute all right, so we did that and then sadly, my cell phone, that I had it was like a Apple 7 plus. I think it was overnight that night. My alarm didn’t go off that morning, because my phone just completely like a blacked out, didn’t like you know like I couldn’t start it again.

I couldn’t do anything so anyways. I had to go get a new phone at the Apple Store, but first I like made an appointment at the Apple store and did all of that stuff. So I had to leave a work just a little bit earlier than I normally would that day. Just to take care of that, and then I ended up getting the iPhone X are ya, iPhone XR! That’s what it is like the newest phone. So anyway, I’m just going to like put XR on here and go for it looks good to me.

I don’t really need more explanation than that all right, so that what happened that day, how fun spending money I didn’t want to spend ooh, and then I need sports stuff, probably the first time. I’ve said that in a article and then Wednesday, I went to one of our sports stadiums. What is it US Bank Stadium here in the Twin Cities and the NCAA is going to be in town? At some point I don’t know my company, the company that I work for is providing some of the products to convert a football stadium into a basketball Stadium.

So anyway, I went there and got a tour of the progress and what they were doing on the 20th, and you know it’s kind of cool. It was really very, very interesting so and then Sarah and I both went so. It was kind of cool that she was in town while that was happening and then basketball, even though there was no basketball being played, there wasn’t even a court up yet ooh and then I need another. One.

Look good look at me and all my sports stuff. This month actually did a lot of sports stuff this month, cool all right, and then I had a meeting on the 21st about some HR stuff, but it actually was about something that was happening at my like building facility, so I’ll put a little baseball because it Was about a baseball themed thingamajiggy so put that there well there’s so many sports all right and then here I’m going to write in what I was doing.

I was shell training. Okay, my camera just cut off and I don’t know what the last thing that I said, but I’m going to put in here that I was Michelle training. So that’s what I wasn’t doing that day or those days I should say, did it for two days, but once Sara was here, she was like teaching me how to properly do the shelves so yeah that’s kind of cool. I also put a sign on my desk. That said, I was closed and if you needed any help to call Sara, but some people respected the sign.

Other peoples did not respect the sign, so it you know it took me. It took me a lot longer than I thought so, but that’s alright. I got the job done and yeah I’ll probably be doing more acoustical shells of it of it as soon so. My work bestie Jamie. We sit across from each other um. She is obsessed with Jonathan Venice from queer eye and she has gotten me on the jvn train so he’s actually coming into.

I don’t know it’s like not a concert, but it’s like I don’t know, he’s coming and he’s doing something. I don’t know exactly what he’s doing, but he’s going to be at the Minnesota State Theatre. This fall, but the tickets went on sale this day, so we bought tickets and we are going and we were both very very excited. So I have these cute little admit: won tickets plan about it. Jv antics to say that like she’s pumped, is like a little bit of an understatement, but I’m pretty pumped to I’m very excited.

We’re going to have fun fun, fun, all right and then on Thursday was the Minnesota Twins home opener, and that’s what I had to talk to HR about, because I was kind of like hosting it for my building, so they just needed some help with some things. So, hmm, I don’t have like a blue or a red which is, I know what I want. Let’s see what else I can find around here. Alright, here we go. There is red stickers right there yeah.

I just want to write lunch, so the company provided lunch for us this day, which was very nice of them, and then I have these from paper in clips and they’re like the Minnesota Twins logo. So just put that right there and maybe we’ll put a baseball, because I have him out why not there we go lunch, possum, okay and then on Saturday I had another go wild fun thing happen. I went over to Ryan’s house from a man with the plans and we had like a little brunch and Jodi.

Was there too, and we just kind of like discussed, go wild stuff. So it was kind of good and Ryan made this like really yummy egg bake, which was delicious and Ryan made this like super yummy, like egg bake thing, it was delicious thanks, Ryan, if you’re reading it was really really good, and then I actually just got these In the mail not too long ago, I had purchased these from Erin Condren and this is like the go wild set.

So maybe I’m going to use these hmm. What should I do? Oh that doesn’t fit. Oh you know what I could put it right here. That’s alright! I don’t have like things to do so. Maybe I want to use like some other go wild stickers that I have over here. Alright and I’m going to use this sticker right here that says: go wild Las Vegas from planner topia. Put that right! Oh gosh, look, I can’t do anything.

Okay, I got a whole new plan. Now, oh my gosh, losing it see. This is like real life of when you really, you know, mess up some things and you didn’t think about it before. So you done messed up. Mmm mmm I’m going to use a sticker now because that’s all right, though okay, so I’m just going to put this like little bit above it yeah, okay, cool all right. I like that, that’s good! For me! Oh and I forgot to put I purchased art.

I saw I bought pajamas on this day because we had like a conversation about it and then I believe that Friday yeah it was that Friday I purchased our airline tickets. You know so we could like all be in the same row or whatever. So that was good, so I’m going to use this from planner trophy, it’s just called air travel and, let’s see which color should I use. I don’t know, let’s use one of the pink ones.

That was just the first one here. Why not I’m just going to write Minneapolis to Las Vegas? Okay, I’m done now, oh, my goodness, alright, so that is it for my March monthly view in my 2019 monthly planner from the petite palana line. I hope you guys enjoyed this article, I’m going to be using this for the next month as well. So I actually have something in here already: hair appointment, 5:30 yay.

So yeah I’m going to be using this for next month and I will probably be filming a article if you guys are interested in this.

Let me know if you guys are interested – and I can you know, make this a monthly thing if this is kind of what I’m going to stick to.

Horizontal MOCK Plan With Me | InkWell Press Planner

I have not prepared anything about this, but I recently posted a article showing you guys my first impressions of an inkwell press planner, but this is in a really different orientation.

This is in a horizontal orientation and I’ve. Never in my life worked with a horizontal planner. My mind works this way and not this way one of you guys said hey. I challenge you to do a mock plan with me in this planner. So I’m going to say to you challenge accepted girl, alright, so I am NOT going to choose to do it in August which this so this is my normal planner, I’m like all over the board here you guys.

This is what I normally use for my planner. It is an Erin Condren, on-the-go life planner and the hourly layout in the colorful version, with a platinum coil, and I’m going to use this spread as inspiration and I’m going to try to mimic this as much as possible. I should have almost all of the same stickers available, I’m going to see if I can recreate this in a way that makes sense to my brain in here.

I don’t know this is going to be like really challenging you guys, like. I feel like it’s going to be a real challenge for me to even do this. We shall see so this little guy is going to be kind of over off to the side, or maybe you just put it in the front here. I don’t know my tripods kind in the way yeah it’s like it’s too much in the way. Okay, I’ll put it off to the side over here for reference and we’re just going to go for it.

So some of the colors might be a little bit different in there, but I’m going to still use the same washi from my shop. I’m hoping I have enough washi, because I have an idea of how I would lay washi in here. If I were to use this, this might be totally weird, but we’re going to we’re going to try it okay Square this up, because the last time I did a little washi rip, it didn’t go well, and this is going to be like extra fuzzy.

I’m just going to let you guys know now, because this is going to take me a really frickin long time. Oh goodness, so we will see. Should I go all the way to the end yeah? Why? The hell? Not you know? Oh I’m, almost out of washi. Hmm: okay: let’s: let’s do it like this? Let’s go all the way to the edge, because I have an idea. Okay, so I would put washi up at the top here, but then I would cut off the excess and repurpose this on another page.

Oh well that still looks kind of cute okay and then I would take it over on this side. I don’t does this look dumb, it might look a little dumb, just kind of kind of winging it cuz. This whole page orientation is a little a little much for for the fde over here all right and I still have got a little bit kind of sticking out at the top. I don’t care that much so I’m just going to fold it over because I’m not going to use the next page.

So if I was really using this, I would cut it off at the top okay. So there is that so we’ve got a little bit of color going on now um, maybe just maybe I could use the rest of this somewhere. I don’t know. I only have like a little tiny bit on my washi sample here, but we’ll save that we’ll save that for just a moment. Okay, I’m going to grab out my Christian designs binder, because usually the first thing I put in is the articles that I upload.

So, let’s go to the icon event: stickers. Alright, I’ve got so many things going on over right all right, so I’m not too worried about like the colors that match over in this, just because I am just going to use whatever, because clearly these are just fine. Using whatever works, so, let’s see – let’s put these in okay, so now they’re all written in hmmm. What I do okay, so I think I would put these like in my little sidebar thing over here, since it’s just something that uploads and I don’t really need to like work on it throughout the day.

If that makes sense. So, let’s put this in here: okay and I did donation tracking on Tuesday. Oh my gosh, this like stresses me out you guys. I don’t know how people can plan this way. I’m sure look at my plan with me. Article isn’t go! Oh my gosh, like that’s too much like I can’t. I can’t plan that way either. So you guys are really getting me out of my comfort zone right now and it’s just. I have a lot of anxiety doing that, even though I know it’s not like real, but that’s alright, but you know what gives me like.

A lot of satisfaction in my life is finishing up a sticker sheet. This is so satisfying. I know some people like really hate this and get really kind of stressed out that they, you know like. Oh, my gosh, I’m down a sticker sheet. I look really enjoy it. I really really do okay. So then, my home project tracker and then my manicure tutorial was up on Sunday, okay, so that is it for my OTT. Alright, I feel like there’s going to be a lot of editing in this article, because, oh my and since I already have my Christian designs binder out, I’m going to put in my dinner thing on Tuesday.

Alright, I’m going to put a time in here too, because it like stresses me out to not have a time in here, so I don’t these things. How do you guys do this? If you guys do plan with me, is or you’re on Instagram or something? Let me know in the comments and like put your blog or your Instagram down below. I want to see your spreads, because this is really stresses me out: okay, mmm, alright! So maybe I’ll put this like right here I don’t know, I don’t know where.

To put. I know I’m going to like instantly regret that when I go to actually using other stickers in just a few minutes, yikes alright. So next up, I am going to be using my coffee break planner stickers and I have a bunch of them here we go. I need a bunch of these ones, so let’s just pull this sucker out. Alright, let me put in all the things I need to do. Alright, I need three of these okay, so now that I have all these in here, all right, so Monday, ooh – hmm we’re going to do this.

This is like so stressful okay, so I think I’m going to put this right here. Oh, I know I’m going to regret all of these things and then I think the same thing I’m going to put this also right here on Tuesday, oh I’m so unsure of myself. This is such a weird thing to be filming right now, all right and then the Thursday okay, I’m just going to put it in the same spot because, whatever okay, okay, so let me pull all the other coffee break, planner stickers, I’m going to be using.

So I used some hatbox, goodness, okay, so they were like kind of these watercolor e half boxes and then what else? Okay, then I grabbed a good event sticker as well all right cool all right, so I’m just taking something! Oh, my gosh, I’m all over the place today. Um put this up like the bottom, so I kind of did it at the end of the day, and Saturday was my filming day up at the top here. Oh my gosh was this Thursday, oh wow, okay, yeah! This is stressing me out, I am just a stress case right now.

Oh wow, I feel like, even though I have all the stickers that I normally use. Clearly, you know when you’re planning and a different orientation, you probably wouldn’t use the same stickers, but I wanted to like really challenge myself to use the same type or style of sticker just to see if it would work with this. But this dresses me out. Okay, so let’s get back to doing the bulk of this because now I’m finally done, I think I have all of the coffee-break planner stickers in here.

I don’t have all of my Christian design stickers in here, but that’s okay, I’ll just kind of like do it as I go all right. So let me pull the stickers that I need to use in here. All right, I’m going to use my little notebook stickers and write exactly what I wrote on my other thing and we’ll see how it goes. Okay, so I wrote all the things down alright, so this one goes on Tuesday and I kind of thought this would be good like right on the side here, because it’s kind of more, I don’t know it to me.

It would be more like a to-do list. If you will um all right and then this was a Wednesday one, so this would go like right about here like that, and then this one was what Friday, okay, cool and again used up a sticker sheet. This makes me so excited to use up a sticker sheet, but it does not make me excited to plan in this orientation. Let me tell you guys: yall are challenging me today, alright, so on texts and emails, I used a little icon.

That was a computer, so I’ll put that right there to make it look the same, and I didn’t use any other icons on any of these other ones. Okay, cool, but I’m going to keep this over here cuz. I used a lot of icons in this spread. Alright, next a junk drawer, I did use this Adrianna Piper sticker, so I grabbed this little camera guy. I got ta be like smarter than the sticker paper. Alright, a little icon right there.

Alright, I also filmed a bunch on Tuesday I’ll put that up at the top here and just right boom, okay and then I also edited on Tuesday I basically edit every day, but you know whatever that down at the bottom. Here am I even in the frame. Oh wow, I am in the frame. Well, that’s a first! Sometimes I look up at the viewfinder and I’m like. Oh it’s all blurry and whoopsie DUP sees oh well, okay and then I need a little shopping bags today.

Let me let me find that all right. What color did I use stuff? I used a purple one okay, so I use a purple one again, not that it really matters, but what else Tuesday’s done? Thank goodness all right and I don’t think I did any other shopping all right. I think I’m good with that, my goodness all right and on Monday I went to my P o box and I had to do a Nordstrom return as well. So I’ll use this and let’s see it used a phone icon, so I’ll put phone icon in here.

Alright, so I made two phone calls laundry on Monday, okay and I use this stickers washi and more sticker sheet. I don’t know, I don’t know what that looks. Good, oh whatever. Oh, this coil I mean. Maybe that’s a reason why I’ve never liked. I mean clearly this orientation is like I’m at my speed. I think you guys can see that by now, but I like on a Wednesday in the Erin Condren, I hate using the paper on the Wednesday just because I can’t write anything effectively.

I feel like okay, so now Monday and Tuesday are done. Let’s go into Wednesday. I did make another phone call on Wednesday took Kay, so I’m going to put that in I’ll put that in kind of at the bottom here all right and then did you all right use this one and I used a purple one. So I’ll stick with purple. If I can still use the same color, I’m going to use the same color, okay and then these are from design pandemonium if y’all are interested, but I got them a few years ago.

So I’m not sure I’m not sure what people have still on their shops. Okay, there’s this okay they’re kind of in the center to kind of even out this space a little bit, and then I also used one of these, because I was taking photos yeah, okay, now Wednesday’s done Wow. This is taking me way too long, y’all, okay, so Thursday. I used one of these little package, icons all right and then I also used another one of these laptop stickers.

So I did some emails here. I don’t know okay, oh I do have another coffee break. Planner sticker hold on here ooh. Where do I put it though? Ah this is like. Oh, this stresses me out: okay, maybe they’re package orders, I don’t know. Oh my gosh. This like makes me so nervous. Okay and then my brother was here overnight on Thursday. All right – and I also used on this planner lifestyle podcast. I am going to put a little icon on here, but it’s not going to be the same.

I kind of used originally I’m just going to put like a little time thing on there and I’m just going to put in 4:30 cuz. That was our start time and we didn’t end for quite a long time, but that’s alright, let’s see do I have everything on Thursday. I think we have everything on Thursday, so let’s go and flip the page. Finally, oh my gosh – this doesn’t stress me out, but this really stresses me out guys: oh my gosh, um, okay.

So, on Friday I I ran to the post office because I had to send out all of my orders from my Etsy shop and then also I sent out some giveaway stuff too. So that was kind of exciting. Oh – and I already have my facebook listing thing in here – okay, so I only have a couple of things to put in here: okay, so but this little post office guy right here, alright, so I sent out orders and it give away and then I’ll take another One other clocks here, I’m a little icon sheet.

I had an appointment and then I’ll take one of these little pencil icons and I had to do some stuff on the internet with my Adsense, okay, cool, so, okay, everything is freaking me out. Everything is freaking me out, okay, so into Saturday. That’s my filming day. So I’m going to put a little camera here and then I’m going to use one of these little houses. I’ll just use this house here mom over and then I edited for the majority of the day, like I feel like I always do so.

I also on my other one just going to see I like put in these little checklist things, so I am going to do that in here as well. All right, I need what four of them just a little bit to give me a little bit of breathing room with the writing a situation. It’s all looking so kind of crooked y’all, I’m doing the best I can with. As stressed as this is making me okay. So then, on Saturday I filmed my budget September lay out a plan of first impressions and then my kitchen storage article, like a good planner person, you got ta check them off right.

Oh, I need to like Center, my Chi here seriously, all right, so I edited then on Sunday twice. So basically I just need to put it in once. I don’t know. Okay, where do I put things uh? Okay, I’m going to put it over on the side. Here I’m just going to write it and I used this um for my Saturday layout. So I’m going to just use up what I can on here. So I’m going to use this sticker, that’s not the same but kind of the same.

So my friend Kayla came over and she wanted my IKEA chair from my facebook listings that I did all right and I think I’m going to use this I’m going to do something a little bit different all right. So I did film a plan with me that day as well – and that’s really all I did on Sunday – was um edit and then I filmed only one article, but that’s alright. I’m going to put this like over here somewhere, I don’t know, I don’t have the exact same sticker because I used it and that’s all I had, though okay and I usually on my regular Erin Condren, which she would probably use for your notes or your weekly Focus, I don’t use it at all, so whatevs I’m going to leave a blank alright, so I am finally done with this spread y’all.

This stressed me out so so much like, I said before, if you guys plan in this horizontal way, leave your Instagram or something below, so I can see how you do it, because this is all over the place for me. I still love me my Erin Condren. So so much, but if you guys can see here I’ll kind of put it like this, so you guys can see like what stickers I used and this one versus this one and then I’ll kind of flip it and show you guys, the other one.

But I tried to use as many as the same stickers that I can I used. You know about 95 % exactly the same stickers. Some of the colors are a little bit just because I’m clearly using what I have and then, if I go like this, let’s go like that because Thursday is down here and Thursday is on this page. So you guys can see how I mixed it up. A little bit there’s a couple stickers I just didn’t have anymore, but for the most part it’s exactly the same, but this makes my mind work a little bit better and also I mean.

I hope that this article isn’t super long for y’all. But this took me probably about triple the time that it normally does, because this was stressing me out so dang bad, even though I already had a template to go off of it still just isn’t working for me. So I know that I have made the right choice in planning in a vertical manner and not a horizontal manner, but that’s alright. I think we all just have to figure out what works for us.

So I’m pretty sure that this is going to be a pretty long article, I’m not sure. Hopefully I can edit down a little bit more, but you never know so if you guys like this so make sure to give it a thumbs up. I don’t think I will ever plan again in this type of version, at least not in a decorative way, but let me know what you guys think in the comments down below did I do a good job, or is this too messy for you too? I don’t know, but thanks for hanging out with me for a little part of your day, if you liked the article make sure to give it a thumbs up, if you made it this far seriously give yourself a thumbs up.

Also, if you want to subscribe, feel free – and I hope to see you all in the next article bye guys well folks, it’s time to kick it old school

2019/2020 Planner Choice | Erin Condren

If you guys have been following me on social media or you’ve, seen my past couple of articles about this, I will leave a link in the cards as we kind of go along. This was the first planner that I got in PR and I got to pick everything out which was fabulous, but then I went to go wild, oh by the way.

This is the colorful version of the hourly layout in the gold coil July through June. Okay, so that being said, I went to go wild, which was fabulous by the way and I was invited to an Erin Condren party and there was erin condren binders out, even in just like the general admission areas, and I got to looking at the binder and I was like oh, I need that too, and the color way for this I feel like is so pretty so it was torn.

So then, on launch day, I ordered this I’ll leave the article up in a cart. If you want to look at this a little bit more in detail, so I got this and I’m like. I love this too. What am I going to do so? I thought about it for awhile and I really thought about, like my planning style, like what I like and if you guys know anything about me. I am a very like neutral person in my normal daily life, but in my planner I feel like I’m a colorful person, so I decided on the colorful.

However, I didn’t decide on this one. I was a little sneaky and ordered something else. So I got this: this is the Navy binder. I wanted to see the Navy – and this is the gray binder, which I’ll show you in a second and the colorful our Lee is inside of here. So I think that this is. This is the one guys. This is the one, so let me show you what’s inside and how I set this up so hold on. Let me move this for just a second, so this planner and this planner are going to go to some friends.

I change the cover on this because I wanted to use the cover in my binder and I’ll explain why in just a moment, so this is going to be given to a friend and then this one here I started moving into this just be like completely honest And my contacts page in here is gone because I started playing with it and I’m like oh gosh. What’s in great so yeah, the contacts page has gone in here, but I will still give this a to a planner friend that I know will absolutely love it.

I want to talk about the binder for just a quick second, this really bothers me. I feel like you have to like hold everything for it to like properly closed. If that makes sense like it doesn’t I don’t know it closes, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like if you don’t kind of like push everything to the middle of the binder clip or whatever you want to call it. It just kind of hangs out hold up. Let me let me explain it a little bit more.

So if I didn’t help it, let’s move this. It would go like this. Do you see it? I’m saying like all that’s right there, okay anyway, so this needs a little like Oh needs a little help, and then this one’s good, alright. So that was the gray one which I think is beautiful as well, but I went with the Navy. I thought I wanted to see what the Navy look like and then, if I didn’t like the Navy, I could just swap the binders, but this is the Navy.

It’s gorgeous. You guys know that I don’t really like personalization, so I didn’t do that plus. I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep this. This also has whoops the gold hardware as well, which is like my favorite, and then I put these big erin condren pockets on either side of the binder. So I’m going to be keeping these in here. That’s for coffee, brick, planner and they are like little transparent, dots and I’ll.

Show you how I use those in just a moment, but I’m going to keep those are right there and then I have another one right here and you get a packet too, and the Erin Condren website will be linked below for you guys. This is one of bookmarks and I used this to cut washi mainly, and then I took my old cover off of my coil bound planner and put it in here, and the reason I did that is because of that issue I was just talking about so I Have the back cover in here as well, so I feel like when I’m ready to close this up.

I can just easily go like this and I feel like I’m not going to tear the pages if that makes sense like if there’s something like kind of hard behind it. So that’s how I am going to use that so anyway yeah. So this is what I’m going to use. I was actually talking to a co-worker of mine recently because they wanted me to bring in my planner, because some of them have decided to become Erin Condren fans as well, so she was like wow.

This is so colorful. I’m like yeah, I know she’s like I would have just never thought that you would be a really colorful person, and I said you know the only place that I’m colorful in my life is inside of my planner and that’s kind of like what threw me over The edge of like okay, I need a colorful planner, there’s just no way around it. This is very similar from last year. I track a few different things, and all of these stickers are from coffee, brick.

Planner. There is a link down below, as well as a coupon code, if you all are interested for 20 % off, but I track my cycle, which is why I have these over here because clearly I don’t know when that’s going to be happening and then I have All my paydays and then I have work holidays in here too. If I decide to track something else, I’ll put it up here with a key and then I have a bunch of different colors.

She has a ton of different colors in these little transparent dots. So anyway, this goes from july 2019 through a December 2020, and then here I’m not sure what I’m going to do last year. I ended up doing like home projects, but I’m not sure what I want to do this year, so we’re just going to like leave it for now and let it marinate you know and then July July is clearly not here. Yet I’m still in the end of May, when I’m filming this so for July, I really don’t have anything major going on.

I did decide to open up my little package of long sticky notes and put one on every single month. So if there’s like birthdays or special events that I need to remember or something like that, I have them, you know a little place to write them down. I did put in my garbage and then I do have a hair appointment on Wednesday. That day on the 24th so anyway, that is that that’s all I know what’s going on, but I absolutely love this.

I think this is so pretty. I kind of feel like with the neutral I’d kind of get sick of it. After a while, then, I feel like for me there’s more functionality in the colorful, even though I know some people are very anti. This, like color block here, but I don’t really mind it also something I decided to do, which I hope you can see on camera. It’s so hard cuz. This like viewfinder, is like teeny, tiny small.

Over here I decided to take some Christian designs, transparent stickers and put in like paydays into the current month that it shows down here. So this is July and then I have to get paid July 5th and July 19. So it’s just something to track and then also if I want to track something else or if I know if someone’s going on, I could do that as well. But I love this little thing down in the corner.

I love that change. I think that’s so nice and then I’ve got that little guy right there and then in to auto stand. Then again I did trash and stuff, but let’s go to the back and take a little gander at what’s in there, and then we have our notes pages. Oh something I should say I did not do. Is let’s see here. I put everything in here. However, not everything so I put everything in here through January.

Sorry, I’m kind of like all over the board today. So I put all my weeks up until January in here and then once February hits then I just put in the month and then, like you know, this is the back of the month and then I pushed it into the next month. So I have all of my other pieces of paper upstairs in my office, so when these months start to happen, can put them in here. I just didn’t want the binder to be totally full.

I wanted some extra room in here and not make it like. So bulky and I do have the room to store – you know the extra pages and whatnot. So that’s what I did for February through December of 2020. So but I do have you know my months out there, so I can always jot things down anyway. Now we’re into the notes section, and so we’ve got a few things that I actually did a little bit of planning before I filmed this article because I felt like if I did this on camera, it would be like hours long and I’m just like not all About that life anyway, and of course I did it at like mmm like 10:30 last night and there’s like no lighting at that point in my home, so anyway, I decided to do something really similar like I did last year, and I actually have it sitting right Off camera here, so this is my one from the previous year and then I put in like July through June, and these are just like tasks so like 2019, 2020 monthly tracking cute little house sticker there from coffee break planner.

And then I got these from Christian designs and then this washi is actually from Christian designs, but it’s available at Michael’s, only so very fun. So these are all the things that I want to achieve in the next year or so so I just want to like you know, have the task done so for me. Obviously yours is going to be a little bit different and if you have different categories like, let me know in the comments down below, maybe need to add some.

So anyway, I have a budget donations. I tend to donate something every single month or a bag of things clean out the fridge clean out the freezer clean out the pantry. That’s done sometimes weekly, but you know it’s something that I need to do at least once a month. My air filter. I don’t need to change it every single month, but it’s nice to see when I’m doing it. I think it’s about like every three months.

My color gun service is not every month, but it’s nice to see when the last time was checking smoke detectors. My bedding and blankets, organizing my files changing out my toothbrush head clean out the car, a car oil change, face, mask I’m trying to get better at that, like the whole self care thing, I don’t know it’s just like very difficult for me and I need to Just like make the time – I don’t know if you guys struggle with that too, and I’m like one to talk like I don’t have kids and I have a very like subdued life, but still it just sometimes it’s just difficult to make the time and then no Plastic bags: that’s like a big thing that I am going to try to start well, I’m actually already starting it, but I’m going to try to not use any plastic bags in the next year.

I have so many reusable bags. Those Erin Condren ones are just amazing and I love them, and I have so many of them in my car ready to go, and you know you pop into like CVS or Walgreens or the gas station or whatever, and I’m like. Why do I have this plastic bag? I should just always have a reusable bag in my bag. So that’s what I’ve been doing. It’s been working out really well and if I’m clearly like going to the grocery store I’ll put like five or six of them in my bag and if I don’t use them all great, but I would rather over pack then under pack, because they’re so lightweight anyways.

So I’m that’s like a goal of mine and I don’t know if it’s weird but that’s like something I want to do in the next year or so so anyway. Um there is my little dot grid pages and then I haven’t filled out my contacts yet because I didn’t want to be all creepy and stuff Here. I am going to put in all of my house stuff, so the name of the heating and air company. That I view is the name of the electrician.

I’ve been using my HOA contact, my mortgage company, like any like service related thing like culligan. They come over and do service in my home and, like anything house related I’d like to keep it in here, so I think that will be good and then oh over here I put in so this is January 20 January of 21 wow, that’s weird to say Through December of 21 – and I put in all of the pay days as well with those same stickers from Christian designs, those transparent circles – and then here are the sticker sheets, which I decided to put in the back here.

I might end up taking these out because a lot of times, if you guys have seen like any of my other planner articles a lot of times. I kind of forget that they’re back here and then I don’t end up using them. But if they’re in here, which is like my little Erin Condren sticker organizer, then I know that they’re here, so I might just end up putting these in here. Eventually, these are just all loose sticker sheets from Erin Condren that I love so anyway.

They’re in here for now, like I said I might, I might move them – I don’t know so yeah and then we’ve got these ones too. These are so nice very underrated, but very nice, and then I have my back cover to the coil planner, which I love that too, and then here there is that big pocket again, so you can slip something in there. I was actually going to use this. I decided I was going to put this hold on and here’s stop talking so these little flaps kind of replaced this and I already bought it, but I think I’m going to give that to someone that is going to take one of those planners.

What I did last you, which I absolutely loved, is when I was tracking this for like my cycle and stuff, I put this in here and had this little flap here and had this inside and it worked out great, but the more I thought about it. I was like you know I kind of like more streamlined like that. So anyway, this is going to go to the friend, so this kind of replaced that, but I mean everyone, just kind of needs to do what works for them.

So anyways that’s going to be it for me today. I just wanted to share with you guys what I am planning on using for the 2019 2020 year in my Erin Condren hourly. Please please. Let me know in the comments below what you’re going to be using to organize your life for the upcoming year, even if it’s not an Erin Condren, that’s okay! Even if it’s like your cell phone, that’s alright and if y’all are interested in any Erin Condren products.

There are links down below, for you guys I will be leaving links to a Christian and also coffee break planner as well, because I used some of their stickers in here. So if you guys want to check out those websites they’re right down below, but thank you guys so much for reading. I really appreciate it if you liked the article make sure to give it a thumbs up, feel free to subscribe, and I will see y’all in the next article bye guys well, folks is time to kick it old school

Planner Stickers & Washi Haul

I ended up purchasing a lot of things on a Black Friday Cyber Monday, and this is all planner related things, so I’ve got washi and stickers galore. This is going up a little bit later because number one I’m lazy and then number two all of the independent shops clearly have different shipping schedule times and things like that, so I’ve been kind of like collecting them as they’ve been coming through and I actually just Realized a few weeks after the last thing came in that I’m like oh, I think I have everything so anyways, let’s just get on with the haul, I will link down below all of the shops that I talked about so yeah.

So, let’s get to it. First thing I have over here is some washi, and this is from goat girl on Etsy and I’m kind of obsessed with these. Let’s see oh, we need to. We need to zoom in a little bit hold off. Oh, it’s rolling off come back here! Oh here we go so anyway um. I have this. It’s just kind of like wintery houses, which is really cute.

I’ve been liking using these when I work from home because it’s not planned so I like using these or if I need like home services or something happening clearly, I’m like never going to run out and then also the last two things is two of these little.

Like movie boxes, I tend to use those for like when I upload certain articles on the YouTube and then last but not least, we’ve got planner topia and I have no self-control at the human being. So I went a little ham on the birthday labels because I was setting up planners at my office and you know sometimes you just get really excited. So I actually only got three sheets from planner topia, but I got these little prescription bottles in a full colorway which is going to be great for my spreads and then I think have birthday labels that are like the bright birthday labels.

Plan With Me | September 24th – 30th | #ECLifePlanner

I got ta tell ya. I’ve been back planning for a little while now and last weekend. I just didn’t get to the plan with me, unfortunately, and there’s just no natural light when I get home just because it’s now fall time in Minnesota, so yeah but anyway it is now Sunday into October, but I’m still going to plan out this week.

So you guys can see what I did and you know read all the pretty things so anyway, we are planning for the week of Monday September 24 through Sunday, September 30 and right after I’m done filming this bad boy. I am filming the next one as well. So anyway, um I pulled out a couple of wha she’s this one I don’t know where I got from, and I believe this one I got from my shop and yeah, so I’m just going to go with it PS.

My fingers are so dry and kind of just jacked up because of the weather change. Recently, it’s been really kind of irritating and I touch paper all day at work, so it’s even more irritating because of that, so it’s just kind of kind of a bar. So my hands are kind of chapped and kind of peeli. Oh, I don’t like the way that looks so yeah. Sorry, if my hands look a little weird today, alright, there we go.

Maybe I can line it up, Wow good job Emily. Sometimes I can’t line up my washi properly, but oh whoops, if I didn’t do these plan with me, articles it’d be a lot easier if the actual paper was a little closer to my body. But then, if it was closer to my body, you guys wouldn’t actually see it on camera, not that I’m the best at putting things in the frame. Clearly, if you guys have been reading my blog for a while, sometimes I forget to do that and I’m like.

Oh great, the last 20 minutes have been out of the frame: sweet, good, youtuber, Emily all right, so that washi is down like grab my Christian designs, binder here, alright and I’m going to pull these, which are one of my favorite stickers. These are the K ad zero, two nine six four, they are like the little movie placard ones. I use these from my articles, so, let’s put in what I put up this week, alright needed to go into a second sheet here, because I am done with a full sheet.

If y’all been reading my blog for a while, you know that it makes me so excited to finish up a whole sheet of stickers, it kind of like. I know some people don’t like it, but for me it’s like really really validating that. You know I spent my money on this and it is now realized that I actually needed all of these. You know I don’t know, maybe I’m weird like that, but it makes me happy alright and then Friday I put up my October budget.

Alright, alright, I can never really remember the times that I was at work just because I’ve been staying a lot later most days, especially this week. This was the last week I had with my coworker that was training me, so I’m pretty sure I stayed a little bit later than normal, but that’s alright I’ll just kind of put in some time and go from there. So I put in my time alright – and let me dig into some of my coffee break planner stickers.

Let’s see, maybe yellow, could be a good one. I’m trying to figure out like what colors to do know. It may be pink as well. I don’t know I’m just kind of working it out today. Alright, let’s do let’s do a yellow today, that’s kind of a fun one, alright, so, let’s put in the work situation. This is like all coffee break planner stuff today. So, Oh five of these stickers ooh next week, I’m going to get all satisfied all right and then these are from Catherine’s shop as well.

These cute little desk things I’m trying to make my office space at work kind of cute. I will have a article coming up, hopefully very soon, about some of the things that I purchased for my new office at work, so I’ve got lots of really cute things. Just you know kind of make it your own you’re there all the time. So why the heck not right so anyways um yeah, that article should be coming up fairly soon.

I believe this is going to be uploaded first, though I’m not a how-to percent sure, but I’m pretty sure, but unfortunately I am not really able to take photos of my cubicle at work for security reasons, so I won’t be able to share my actual cube with You guys, but I will be able to share like some of the products and stuff that I am going to bring to my office so anyways I will hopefully have that up in the future for y’all I’m going to put in some meal things.

So, let’s see here I’ll put in Panera oops come on. Oh my gosh, this one’s like not cooperating properly. Oh there, it goes it just did not want to be friendly today, okay, Panera right here. What else did I do? I usually have like a ton of stuff at the bottom over here. Okay, I’m going to leave this one out because I’m not really sure where I’m going to put this one for like Friday night, I did a whole lot of eating out this week.

I feel like I’m kind of all over the board today, but that’s all right, we’ll get this figured out. Let’s go and order cuz this it’s like stressing me out so um. Actually, during the day, I did a email that I had to take care of. I kind of did that during like lunchy time ish, something like that. That’s just like a little follow up situation, yeah and then, after that, I ran to the peel box. Alright, typically do that on my way home, because it’s on my way home my public mailbox, which isn’t really a P o box, but my public mailbox is not really near where I live, but it’s the closest I can get so we go for it.

Alright Q box is done. Alright. I also got Amazon delivery day, which was exciting, so I did a face mask which I’m trying to get better at, but a lot of you guys have way way busier lives than I do, but for some reason it’s just one of those things in life where I’m like I just don’t have time. I clearly have time. I just don’t make the time. I think that’s part of my issue with a lot of things in life.

I think that’s a lot of our issues. To be honest, so so, let’s see Tuesday they sent my brother document. So let’s put that in edited and then this is, I don’t read a ton of television, but I do read that show here we go. This is what I want. Let’s see here there is that you know I try to put things away as I go when I’m doing this, it’s like all off camera, but I don’t. I should really get better at that.

Okay, I did the post office, which was good. I also filled orders on Wednesday as well the post office. I did the very tail end of the day. All right, I had to create an invoice that done all right and package orders. These are all the fun things I did that day. Oh, except I did move some inventory into my new office, which I’m going to be sharing to you guys. Hopefully so nish um haven’t fully completed my new office yet, but it is coming up, hopefully very soon so yeah, I’m I’m really really excited about it.

All right, I got these cute little like washi rolls all right, so I’m Thursday we did a little happy hour thing for a co-worker. That was fun. I didn’t stay very long, but it was still fun. Nonetheless, you use one of these at all guys all right. I had a meeting all right, so that is that okay Wow come on. I’ve got like way too many things going on at the moment. Well, I just searched my sticker arsenal for quite a while looking for a particular kind of sticker, and I don’t have it so we’re just going to go with this.

I was lucky enough to be a guest on the planner lifestyle podcast and I’m looking for like a podcast occur or something like headphones or something. I don’t have anything in any of the samplers that I have, but I listen to all my podcasts on my phone. So we’re going to go with this, this is going to be my little icon situation, so yeah so planner lifestyle podcast was released on Friday, a September 28th, and this was going to this was part one.

There are two parts actually they’re both up right now. So I will link them down below if y’all are interested in checking them out, but yeah, so it was really fun all right and so the rest of the evening I had ended up going to the Justin Timberlake concert, which is kind of nuts. I was not expecting to go, but my friend over at life’s organized chaos head texted me in the middle of the day and was like hey.

I know this is like a real long shot, but would you be interested in going to Justin Timberlake with me tonight and I’m like well yeah kind of like you know, so we chatted about it. A little bit turns out. One of the gals that was supposed to go couldn’t go anymore, cuz of an illness so anyways. It ended up working out pretty slick, if I don’t say so myself, so I need all the stickers alright. So first thing I did was we went to Kirby’s, which is a restaurant really close to the Excel? Was it the Excel yeah the Xcel Energy Center? So we went there? Oh my gosh.

I cannot get the sticker off and met up with Jody, and then we went to the concert, which was like an all-night situation. I did leave a little bit early. I like to leave a little early, because I had this really fun thing called anxiety in crowd. So I don’t like to stay there too late. So I skipped just the last couple of songs and it ended up being just fine with me, so anyways, but Jody had other people there with her too.

So I wasn’t like the only one or anything, but anyway I had a great time and it was really really fun so anyway, yes, Justin Timberlake. That was really good times change my air filter and I did that on Saturday, clearly winning it life change. The air filter ooh – I didn’t finish my desk, put on. Let me pull this out cuz, it’s just there all right, I’m going to used I’m trying to like use up stickers.

It’s like the main goal in life today. Alright, so my desk took quite a long time set up office. Yes, the desk situation took a long time to do, but that’s alright. Here we go it’s a cute little thing there and also I had the chair to do which the chair, I said, a lot of four-letter words. While I was putting that chair together. I’ll just put it that way, but um there was nothing actually like wrong with the chair once it was together, but the holes were not drilled properly, unfortunately, so that was kind of a pain in the butt and then for the rest of the day.

I really just was in the office um and then on Sunday. I did all the article edits, so I edited basically all day yeah, let’s be real. I didn’t start really editing until like then, and to be honest, I don’t know what else I did that day. It says air filter here, but I know I did it on Saturday, but I don’t know these are all the things I edited. Maybe I’ll write it in make it look more exciting than it really was okay, so that is it for this week.

Erin Condren Academic Planner First Impressions | #ECAcademicCalendar #ECSquad

As you see, I have a big old erin condren box in front of me. We are going to be doing a first impressions on some of the things that are inside here, so I’m very excited to get started shout out to the Erin Condren team for sending me all the goodies that are inside of here today. We’re going to be talking mainly about the Erin Condren academic planner.

Things have changed a sense last year and I actually did a review and first impressions on the one last year. I believe it was, and I will link that up in a card for you guys, but let’s get this big box out of the way and then we’ll move on from there. This was in the bottom of the box. I don’t know what this is for, but oh you know what I do know what this is for we’re going to just leave that right there so anyways.

First things: first, when you get your lovely box from Erin Condren, they always have a little postcard. That has a really nice quote on it, and it says whatever you are be a good one and then my favorite thing is these little guys. They are really nice gift label tags or just anything tags it always says enjoy they usually are these like scalloped adhesive stickers? Well, clearly, stickers are adhesive Emily, oh man, it says to and from I’ve used these before, for giving away like candy or baked goods to like co-workers, our neighbors or friends, or something like that and just put it on like a little cell, Oh bag.

I love these. I think these are awesome and that it comes wrapped in a navy tissue paper and has the signature Erin Condren enjoy on the side here. So let’s open this guy up – and I don’t really talk about this too often but like I got ta say I love their packaging just because I have rarely gotten anything – that’s been damaged if you guys are interested in my Erin Condren playlist I’ll link it up In a card and down below for you guys very rarely do I get anything that’s actually damaged because they have such nice like packing on their stuff.

So anyway, this is all the good stuff. So let me take all this like packaging away and then we’ll talk about it. Alright, so I want to talk about everything at one by one and then we’ll get to the planner at the very end. These are the designer note card set they’re fifty aligned, three by five and note cards with a binder ring, which is this bad boy right here, and I did see some people on the interwebs talk about these and I thought these are just really unique and neat.

So it has the woven, wonder pattern, and this is one of those like erasable things like you, can use one of those markers on here and then on. The backside, there’s also like aligned, but it’s like a laminated one. So that’s really cool and then there’s also a back as well, and then you’ve got all your note cards and they all have the hole punch in them, which is pretty unique and neat. And I really really like that, and then you can just put this all together.

If I can do it right there we go. I need a little strength in the morning. I haven’t had my like caffeination yet and there you go, that’s what it looks like. So you can take notes if you’re doing a speech or, if you’re just you know wanting to take notes on a certain topic or subject or something. But you know I feel like this would be good, even if you aren’t a student and next off. I got these.

I have been hearing lots of things about them. I wanted to see them in person they’re the 12-page flags. They are all different colors and they have a little asterisk on them. I kind of was in the same boat of everyone else, where I really hoped that these would be like several of them and one like they’re, very, very, like I don’t know thick, isn’t the right thick is the right word, but they’re very glossy they’re, like a Permanent adhesive, I really wish that these were like the removable adhesive ones that, like you, know, 3m makes and stuff, because I think that would be amazing because I use those all the time.

But I mean these are really cool, just because I love the Erin Condren little asterisks as well as I love their colorway. So I’m not sure what I’m going to be using these for, but I think I will have some sort of project that will come up and well. I will use these, but again, I wanted to see them in person, and I just thought that I could use them in some way in all my planning systems. Next up is this snap-in dashboard.

That also has the woven, wonder, pattern on it and it has in foiled top priorities and then like a little checklist and then I have and then a little checklist down here and then let me open this up because there’s always fun things on the back, usually And then, let’s see yeah on the back side, it’s got Monday through Sunday, so you could put in like a meal plan or two dues or anything like that.

Also with that woven wonder pattern, which is like one of my favorite things now and of course no Erin Condren box would be it complete without sticky note, so I thought that this would be great to put in this box just because I always am running low On these sticky notes, for whatever reason I got to say, I’ve had a lot of questions on my Instagram and on my facebook as to the adhesiveness of some of the ones in the years past.

I hear you, but these ones, the new ones, the woven wonder and the teacher ones that I have sitting over here right now. These are not part of this haul, but I do have them sitting over here. These have a great adhesive stickiness to them. They don’t leave a film on your page, at least what I have noticed with the ones that I’ve gotten, but they don’t like curl up as much these ones, the new ones.

So I think that they improved some of their adhesives. I’m very very excited about that. So I just keep buying the same patterns like over and over and over and over, but I just absolutely love this pattern anyway, and I really like all of the different sizes and shapes of these notes. Next up is this designer sticker book. I know if you guys have been reading me for a little while you have seen this in a couple of months back, but I did decide to get a new one.

It’s got lots of different stickers sheets and it’s got like transparent stickers and just like regular stickers too, which I absolutely love. But this is the new sticker book for this year. The 2018-2019 season, so I’m very, very excited about this and link will be below to all the products that I’m talking about. And lastly, let’s talk about this little bundle set before we get into the planner.

This was, I think it was like called, maybe like the writing, utensil bundle. Actually, let me look it up, because you know I’m not good at things sometimes. Ah, here it is it’s the writing, essentials bundle and, as of me filming this, this is on sale for $ 25. You do get a little bit of a discount when you buy some of the bundles. So if you actually search like erin condren and like the sale tab, there’s a bunch of different bundles available.

Alright, so here are all the things that are in writing essentials bundle. This is what I was kind of talking about. These wet erase markers you could put on here and then, when they dry down, they don’t come off, but then you can just take like a little baby, wipe or actually just throw it under water and it’ll all come off with pretty good ease. But I love these things and these are the fine tip ones they do also have like thicker tipped ones.

I believe I’m not sure if they’re still in their website, but I know they’ve had them in years past these. As you know, I absolutely love the dual tip markers, I’m a fan of all of them, but I thought hey. Why not get some of these as well, I’m always looking for a black or a blue. You know what I mean. We’re always looking for that. Also this pencil set – I have never had this particular pencil set before, but it has lots of different things in here.

I think I’ve gotten some pencils in years past from like some of the seasonal surprise boxes, but I don’t think I’ve ever had these particular ones. So it’s got some of the mid-century circles. Oh they already come sharpened, for you that’s kind of cool, so it’s got two mid-century circles, one’s a watercolor and then it has some of the metallic dots. So the pink one has rose gold. The teal one has gold and this purple one has silver and then like up at the top next to their eraser.

It has like the same kind of metallic that it coordinates with so very cool and they’re, just six of them, which I live and then really the reason I wanted this is. I wanted these highlighters. I’ve never had highlighters from Erin Condren before, and I thought you know what I think it’s time to finally do this. I know they’ve had them on there like website for ever, but I’ve just never used them.

I think you know it was just. It was time guys it was finally time to do it, so let’s try it with some Erin Condren paper. I just have this sitting here. This is not part of the hall, but oh that writes nicely. They like feel they feel nice in your hand too. I was kind of worried that they’d be like a little too bulky. You know some highlighters are just like a little too thick, but these feels really nice yeah yep.

I like those those are nice. Oh, I almost forgot to mention these. These are the colorful monthly adhesive tabs. I did get these separately, but they do have like a rose gold like January February March April May June July. You know all that good stuff, because the planner that I received is not tabbed. So I thought that this would be something that I could put on the planner all right. So here is the planner.

It also comes with these colorful date, dots from Erin Condren. This is an undated planner, so they do include this typically with your purchase. I believe that this always comes with it. Don’t quote me on it, but I’m pretty sure it does the undated Nastase it flexible. So you can start and stop your planner at any time. So big changes for this year, if you guys readed my other article, that I linked up in a card earlier, you would have noticed that the other one was bound and what that means is.

It was like a not a hardbound, but it was like a soft bound. It did not have the coil, so it was a little bit different and it also was not as thick, which I am very excited to see. What’s in the guts, so it comes with a coil which is fabulous. These are 7 by 9. They fit the regular 7 by 9 covers. I chose the woven wonder pattern in the white background. I didn’t do any personalization, because I wasn’t a how-to percent sure what I was going to do with this or if I was going to gift this to somebody I wasn’t a hundred percent sure.

So I thought you know what I’m totally down with the woven Wonder. So let’s get the white one, because I love the way that this looks also to let you know that these planners start at $ 35. There is some other detailed customization that you can do, that is additional, but these are $ 35 and when you open this up on the back side is also an opportunity for the wet erase markers to kind of put in a list or something like that.

And then, on the right hand, side it says academic planner, your name school and year, and this is a 12 month planner. I believe that the previous ones that they had were only six months. If I remember right but yeah, I think this looks really nice and the paper quality is the same as the red planners so who have a regular planner. It’s that same mohawk paper that they released last season. So like 2017 2018.

And then, when you open it up, you get right into stuff, so the first page here is projects and exams. Your description, your class, the details, the deadlines, important dates and then there’s like a little check for complete, and that is very satisfying. I think so. There’s three on each page and let’s see there’s a bunch of pages in here all right, so there’s a whole bunch of these. So if you’ve got projects and exams and things you need to study for there’s a bunch of pages and then on this page here.

On the left hand, side is just a nice blank notes, pages and or notes pages. This notes page and then on the right-hand side says what you seek is seeking you and then you get into your first month. This is where your colorful date dots come into. Play so you can write up here what month it is and then also put in your date thoughts. Also, if you don’t like the date dots, you can also just write it in too it’s just kind of up to you and then once you decide what month, this will be so say it’s really an academic year for you and you want to maybe start it In August or September, depending on when your school starts, you could grab one of these little adhesive monthly tabs and put in the coordinating tab on this page.

So then, you knew kind of you know what was going on. So this is very very similar to the Erin Condren life planner, as well as the Erin Condren deluxe monthly planner. However, the only real difference is that at the bottom here there is no coordinating month before the next month because it’s undated, so let’s flip through and see okay perfect. So this is the week of and then you can write whatever you want and then Monday through Friday, in full box form and it has Monday.

And then you know like a smaller box, a bigger box and then to do checklist. And then Saturday and Sunday is a little bit smaller because they all fit on one line down here. That makes sense, so you’ve got one two three four five weeks and then you’ve got two notes: pages that are in the lined and then two more and another one so yeah and then you’re into the next month. So every month it looks like is like that.

So, let’s get into when things change, let’s see, let’s see, alright, I’m almost at the back of the planner. Let’s see, I don’t know if there’s anything extra back here, I don’t think there is. That’s alright, though, cool alright, so I’m at the very back of the planner now after the twelve months and then on the back side over here, it says, arriving at one goal is the start of another and it has some info about Erin Condren.

Oh, this is really cool, so it’s got one sticker sheet back here and it says exam midterm test quiz read paper: do study group study no class and vacation. Then it has some other blank event stickers as well for you and then after this is another one of those covers on the inside. You could use those wet erase markers as well and then on the back. Is my nice little woven wonder pattern so that is a peek inside of the new academic planner for 2018 2019.

It again is undated with no tabs, but I kind of like that idea just because it gives you a lot more flexibility to start and stop your planner whenever you’d like, and I just think this is a really great idea for students out there or anyone that Really likes this particular set up, it could be good for and then also if somebody wants to use this for work, I mean it’s got. You know the week of and then some kind of tasking things and then to do is.

I think this would be great for work as well. I mentioned that in my teacher lesson, planner review – that’s a bigger planner than this – it’s like literally bigger, but that one was a great setup for that as well. But you know this would be wonderful for work projects or work things, and things like that that you want to keep track of as well, if you’re not into any of the Erin Condren life planner layout options, and it’s got lots of notes pages.

So if you have meetings or conferences or things like that, you could take notes – and you know do all that stuff, but yeah I mean. I just think this is a really really neat planner, I’m so glad that they put 12 months in there now rather than six months. But what do you guys think of the planner? I would love to know in the comment down below, but that is going to be it for me today. I thank you guys so much for hanging out with me if you’re interested in anything from Erin Condren, the links are down below for y’all.

Thank you. So much for reading – and I will see y’all in the next one bye guys well folks – is time to kick it old school

Pen Test | 2020/2021 Erin Condren Life Planner #ECSquad

If you want to see a little bit more in depth of this planner duo, I got the daily duo to review a little early. I will link a card up in the corner for you guys, but I am going to bust into one of these and we’re going to do a little pen test for you guys. I have a ton of pens here and just wanted to I already kind of already kind of started doing things, so I’m going to use yeah I’m going to use this side of the paper, because, on the very back of these daily duo’s, usually there’s a bunch Of notes pages, if you have like a regular life planner, not the duo, but this one only has the two pages and the one I would do it on won’t show any shadowing, because it’s got like the Erin Condren information page at the back.

So this wouldn’t be very helpful, so I’m going to show it to you on this page, because I don’t mind if this page gets a little shadowing doesn’t bother me at all. So I’m going to use these blue pens, which I actually have a little box of blue and a box of black pens. I think I’ve got these little boxes at Michaels. You know like at the checkout in Michaels, there’s kind of like that little area where it’s like a couple: bucks or a dollar or whatever for certain things.

This was only a dollar, but I got two of them because I wanted to have a black and blue pen test. I feel like both of them would be redundant because I’m using the same thing that’s over and over and then at the end, I’m going to share with you guys these pens, which I here I’ll show you right now, but I’ll do it at the end. This is the box and I put washi tape in the Bott of it that this pen comes in, which will also be available on launch day, and it had like all this foam in there and I just ripped out the foam, because I wanted a place to Store these, which these are like a little click pens or pens and markers that have like the barrels so anyways.

I wanted a place to put them where they wouldn’t be like tossed all over the damn place. So this was my solution tada, so they fit in here pretty perfect. Alright! So there’s that so, let’s get into the pen test something on okay, I’m going to have to organize this a little bit. So it’s like markers and actual pens kind of so I kind of have it organized a little bit, but let’s zoom, mullion and yeah.

So for my regular pens that I have clearly a pencil is going to work just fabulously for you, but I wanted to show you guys some different pens. So I’m going to start out with my favorite actual pen like a gel pen, and this is the paper made ink joy, gel pen and the o7. I don’t know what it is about. This color is like a navy color, it’s not the blue one of my faves. This is the blue Pilot g2 in the 10.

So it’s like a thicker point. I, like a thicker point, anything like an O, 5 or less. I just am NOT into I like an O 7 or larger. That’s just my personal preference and pilot g2s were my favorite until I found the paper may enjoy gels, and I’m like okay, I, like those ones better. This is the jelly roll o 6 and also in a Navy. You can tell these pens have not been used in a while. I like legit, just keep them in that little clear container for these.

My other ones that I use on a daily, which I do use a lot of these daily, are other places. Okay, and this is the Erin Condren Navy. I don’t know what the point is on this and I don’t even know if they still have them, but some of you might still have these um in your arsenal and, I believe, they’re a gel pen. But let’s let’s see here yeah, that’s very, very pointy, not my fav, but um. You know it’s good to test them all, and then these are the pilot, precise rolling ball v 5 and they’re the extra fine.

I have a regular blue and then also a navy. So, let’s um, let’s try these out. I don’t. I think these are new word to my collection. I think I had a like gift pack like a pack of a bunch of these, so I don’t know: let’s try it yeah, not my favorite again, not as what as a pointy as the erin condren one but yeah, you know and I’ve. Never. I don’t think I’ve ever written with these before yeah to to uh mm.

I don’t know scratchy scratchy for me and then okay, we’re going to go with the erin condren sapphire a pen. These are the dual tip markers another, a cult classic and some of my favorites um. I am a fan of the medium tip, so we’ll go into that in just a moment: here’s the fine point side and then we’ll go to the medium, which is my fav. No just works well for me. I don’t know I like it. I like it better and then another favorite is the Paper Mate, and this is the peppermint flare.

I don’t know, I just love the flare they’re. Just nice they’re easy. They kind of go with most things unless you need a permanent marker which these most of these worked really well on glossy or difficult to write on stickers that have a little bit of a film, so these are kind of my more permanent style. Yes, so let’s get into this, this is the micron. Oh three, it’s the pigma micron. I can tell you right now.

I absolutely hate writing with these, but I know a lot of people. Absolutely love them again. It’s too Scratchy for me, whoops man down hold on, and I know I’ve gotten comments in these articles before like. Why do you keep all these if you hate them for this for this? This is why I keep them, because everyone has something different that they like, and then I want to show you if it’s shadows or if the shadowing would bother you – and these are all things I’ve either picked up over the years – that I know don’t work for Me or that have been gifted to me or put in some swag bag, and I just keep them because I know someone out there has them and they’d probably be interesting to see how paper holds up, not just erin condren paper, but other paper and stuff too.

So anywhere, so, let’s write this one down all right, pigma micron and then we’ve got that’s. Oh there’s two of these. I don’t. I don’t even test two of them. This is the lip pen and I actually really like the way that this, like the stroke of it like works, really well, but it’s still again. The point is to for me to it. I don’t know how to say it all right. Nice yeah – and this is the Stabenow – do the look.

I don’t know how to say it. I don’t say anything and then we’ve got this one, which I absolutely love. It’s the marks a lot permanent and these are in the ultrafine tip. I did some research online and this one you can only get in like a rainbow pack. They don’t have these yet and I hope they do at some point so Avery. If you’re reading, which I know they’re not you need to make pacts with just black and you need to pick make pacts with just blue trust me because I would buy them, but right now, you can only get them in a rainbow pack.

So these are the Avery marks a lot so good, so good y’all and it almost rivals this bad boy, which is my favorite fav, which is the pilot ultrafine point permanent type marker, I’m just going to put pilot ultrafine because you don’t need the rest of it. My favorite, that’s my favorite one, to write like for sure this one’s actually pretty good as well. This is the Sharpie permanent marker in the ultrafine a point, and this is actually navy.

I actually had to buy from a seller on Amazon, like a box of these and my god they’re. So good they’re not like this, like the lepen or the Avery, like that’s a very royal blue, where this is like a navy which I very much prefer like you, can see the difference. And then this is just a regular sharpie marker. Just a sharpie fine point like the ones you get like big boxes of at the office supply store, I’m just going to write, sharpie yeah and see the color between the two.

Much prefer the Navy fo sho. Okay. So that’s that, let’s look at the other side, and let me do this. Let me zoom you all in a little bit, so you can see the shadowing because I know that’s a big deal PS turning 40 on january. 9Th in case you want to, you know, send me some love, but what is the way but anyways, but yeah. You really can’t see too much shadowing too bad. Nothing would really bother me until these ones, like the Avery marks a lot and down so like the Avery marks a lot.

Let’s go like this, like the Avery marks a lot, the pirate pirate, the pilot ultra fine point, the Sharpie ultra fine and then our sharpie sharpie. Those would really bother me, but, to be honest, I personally write a lot with stickers. Like I put a sticker down and then I write with it, so really I don’t have a lot of this, but if you are concerned about shadowing, I wouldn’t do a permanent marker on this type of paper, and this is, I think I said this already, but It’s an 80-pound Mohawk paper and they’ve been using the same paper in their planners, for is this their third or fourth year.

I think it’s their third year doing this paper and it’s not a glassy feeling. You know paper is really glassy feeling it does have a little bit of a grip to it, which I think is great for people that want to use stickers or whatever it just. It doesn’t fly out of your hands, which I think is nice, but I really like the quality. That’s very. I don’t know it’s thick, but it’s not too thick. It’s not like cardstock thick, but it’s it’s good, but it’s like an 80 pound paper anyway.

So yeah here we go: oh, let’s zoom back out cuz. This is the weird and then why don’t we use some of these because I haven’t to be honest. I haven’t used check them out. There’s some highlighters, which I want to put all the like ones. Together. Cuz, you know neuroses and whatnot, alright, so with the highlighters, I’m just going to write highlighter right here, cuz. That seems like the easiest, and then this is like a ballpoint pen, just like a regular pen like a little twisty pen from Erin Condren, and you get this and the box.

But in the Box you get that um foam thing I was talking about that. I ripped out because I don’t like it so yeah you can tell I have never written with this, because it’s skipping and probably get the ball rolling on it. Quick. You know, like oh yeah kind of, have to do that to warm up the pens. Sometimes, let’s try this one well, what the heck! Maybe it’s just my pen, I don’t know, leaving a failure.

Okay and there’s like nothing behind it. So weird, okay! So it’s such a fail! You guys! Okay, let me try it down here. I just I don’t know. Okay, what is going on? Okay, it’s working fine on like this paper, but not on the Erin Condren paper, I’m so confused! Okay! Now it’s not even like what what the heck! Why is it working on here, but not oh, my gosh! You guys! Okay! Well! This is a fail. I I don’t know I don’t know what’s going on, but whatever let me just show you the highlighter.

All I wanted to do is just like go Knight Cadiz and go oh look at the fine line. It’s good uh, anyways! Okay! These are just the highlighter colors yikes, you know, sometimes it’s probably user error, because I am kind of the worst when it comes to certain things. But anyway, I didn’t use the little doodad over here, but that’s okay, alright, so the fine tips, there’s three fine tips and then the rest are medium tips.

So let’s do the medium tips. These feel exactly the same as the dual tip, medium for sure yeah. I really I like the medium. Like I said before I love the medium, I’m I’m not a fine tip girl at all. I, like a medium. The highlighters actually felt really nice as well so yeah. Let’s do some more medium yeah that one that one’s my jam yeah, I’m not sure of the colors the colors – will be listed on the website when everything is alive for you guys, I just don’t have the information right in front of me because you know I Just don’t: oh, I like this color.

This kind of I don’t know like sorbet kind of a color okay, so that is that and then they all come with this like barrel and there’s two barrels in the box that will be available on launch day. So there is that and then we have the fine tips so again, not a fine tip girl. That’s okay! That’s okay! I mean they write nice. It’s just you know not my preference and I have three fine tips. So look at this blue one down alright.

So, anyway, that’s the pen test. Let’s look at the back side of this, so you guys can see on let’s zoom y’all in just a little bit here: okay, okay, let’s go beyond where it says sharpie these are going to be. You know where every where all the colorful ones are, and I don’t really see too much in the shadowing. To be honest, I mean, when you lift it up, you can see it just slightly, but if you have a piece of paper behind it, you really don’t really don’t see it.

I see the most shadowing right here, which is when I tried to use this thing and I was like going yeah yeah like I couldn’t, couldn’t stop because the pen wouldn’t go for me so anyway, but that’s what it looks so, like close up, I really like The highlighters and I like the mediums a lot fines, not my jam, but I feel like if you like, a fine tip you’re going to like those markers and then with the versatility of the barrel kind of nice to just swap these in and out once in A while, alright, so that’s going to be the pen test for the new planners, which are the 2021 through 2022 Erin Condren life liners.

My 2020 Medical Planner | Erin Condren Softbound Focused Collection

This is what I have chosen for 2020, as some of you know that read my vlogs or maybe follow me on Instagram there’s a link below. If you want to follow me on Instagram, I have been having some major health problems in 2019 and unfortunately, they are going to trickle over into 2024, probably the entire year anyway.

That being said, I’m, like you, know what I need to get my life organized and have a planner that’s dedicated just to my health. I do use on a daily basis, just the regular, like Erin Condren binder, and I do put my health appointments in here. Here’s my current week right now and I actually have a doctor’s appointment on the 26th but um I need somewhere to put and log everything and something easy and portable to take with me.

When I have these appointments, I do use an Erin Condren planner tote bag. As my daily purse um – and this fits really well in it – I do use currently the black one and it’s the smaller Erin Condren tote bag. I really really like it so anyways I decided to go with. This is called the focused planner and it is in the Navy soft bound. It’s an a5 size. You can decide if you want to get it embossed or not.

I believe there is a chart, I think it’s five or ten dollars. I did get it embossed with my initials, so it’s e j.G. Those are my initials and yeah. I’ve already set this up. I just wanted to walk through it with you, so I could show you kind of how I’m using it I’m sure it’ll keep being modified as we go so anyways. Let’s, let’s get going here, I actually have some test results that I need to bring to my first appointment on the 26th, so I just have that in here, so I can give that to my physician in the new department so anyways I haven’t my name on There I should do that and then the next page is 2020.

I haven’t put anything in here yet, but whatever so, you guys are going to see like names of my doctors, so like don’t be super creepy and like stop them. Okay, okay on this page, it has the holidays and then, like special dates, I haven’t decided what I want to do with this. I mean clearly some months, I’m going to have a ton of appointments and some months I might have none. I don’t know so. I’m just going to kind of like leave it as it is, so we are almost in January, so we are in December.

Currently, it is Christmas Eve actually right now, when I’m filming this, but on the 26th I have an appointment, it’s 7:50 at the Fridley clinic, and I have like my first consultation and a little bit about my medical background as to like what is going on this Early fall, they found out that I had a hiatal hernia and what that is, is it’s basically a hole that is in your body and it’s when your stomach and esophagus meet up, so the only way to actually fix that is with surgery.

There are some dietary things that you can do to help it out. However, those have not worked for me. I’ve been on a plethora of medications and more medications because of that, and I met with the surgeon that does regular hiatal hernia surgeries and because I’m not fully responding to the oral medications. I am no longer a candidate for the regular surgery. She then suggested the only way to actually fix it, in my specific case would be a bariatric surgery and for anyone that doesn’t know what bariatric surgery is, it’s a weight loss surgery.

They basically reroute your stomach, and I have had so many stomach issues for several years. It’s just been really bad, this past 2019 and finally did something about it. So I’ve probably had the hernia for quite a while and just been living very uncomfortably. I can’t sleep well, I have crazy, lucid, like weird dreams, because of all the medications I’m taking, because I’m taking all the medications, I tend to get more migraines, which is a whole nother issue.

So anyway, there’s like a lot going on so anyways. This is basically going to be now my weight-loss journey. Slash get my tummy write book, plus any other like doctor’s appointments. I have to deal with so as of right now. My insurance has not approved the surgery. However, my surgeon and my general practitioner doctor are putting or have put in a request for them to cover it because they would have covered my normal hiatal hernia hiatal hernia surgery anyways.

So it’s going to take probably a month or so for us to hear anything and then they’ll probably end up doing another submittal as well before it gets approved so anyways. Now you know way too much about my health, okay, so um like I said I have my first appointment on the 26th, so I figured I’d put it in here just because like why not and then I also have an appointment with a dietician. Her name is Janelle on the 16th, so these kind of go like hand in hand.

I can’t do anything with the surgery team yet, but I will be able to do some stuff with a surgery team once it gets approved through insurance, but I have to do this anyways, so I figured well. Let’s get the party started and I did call my insurance and they do cover this so anywho. I also have these really cute stickers that I got a while ago. I want to say they’re from planner bunny press or bunny planner press.

Something like that. I will link them down below, but it’s like these little trifold scales, so I figured I would like weigh myself every weekend or you know like just once a week and then put it in there, so I would have a record of it just to share with My physicians also, I got these little stickers um. You can’t see very well probably but they’re clear, adhesive and they’re for Erin Condren, and this one says January, and it says January, on the other side as well and then also on the month, because it’s not really a tab.

I ended up putting a little bit of washi tape right here, so you can clearly see you know where your month is like where, where the month you know, starts or whatever so anyway, all right, let’s get back to January, you guys are going to learn like Way too much about me on this okay, so the first page is you know over on this side. It just says January: you’ve got you know some lines, you got some checklists and then also you got the back side of the washi.

So currently, these are on the medications I’m taking and why I’m taking them, how much all that good stuff. So I wan na like every beginning of the month. I want to make sure to write that down, because, if anything changes I want to be able to tell you know my physician what’s going on, because they have been messing with my medications lately so and then, like February. I would do the same thing, but it’s clearly not February yet so I can’t put that in so anyways and then I can like adjust it if it needs adjusting and then so over here we’ve got like your weekly pages.

I’m not like a horizontal person at all, but I think for this it’s going to be just fine, because I’m not really utilizing it too much. I’m just kind of writing things down. So you know this kind of stuff or like. If I have a migraine or you know, I have to go to Urgent Care or the ER or something I can write that in and why and all that good stuff. So anyway, that is kind of how I am going to use this planner coming up, and here I’m going to put this right here, because that’s what I need and so yeah.

So these are some test results that I have to give my you know physician when I see them on the 26th, so I just have that in here and it’s just like a nice compact little thing and you know I can fit into my hand really easily Um, you know walking room with a life planner every day, just really doesn’t suit me and my needs. Even though I love my life planner, but I don’t think it’s ever left my house um.

I usually just keep it right here, um. You know you know on my desk or whatever and just let you know these do retail for $ 30. I don’t think I said that yet, but these do retail for $ 30 and they’re in the a5 size. So they’re, I don’t know they’re just really really. Nice and you know, I’m excited to use this and I’m excited to make progress. You know in my health journey also the back has a little Erin Condren logo on it.

So yeah I went through every single month and you know just started everything with you know this and then I put in like when I’m going to be gone. This is going to be go wild. I don’t know the dates yet I mean I know that. Go wild. It was actually like right here, but I don’t know like when we’re leaving and when we’re coming back. So I was like asker it I’m just going to like put all the put all the washi.

Why the hell not, and then I just love these little things, I think those aren’t really darn cute and to me I don’t feel like it bulks up the planner too much with the washi and the trifold stickers. I think it’s you know just fine by me. So yeah, then there’s July August. Remember that September and October. Oh and another thing, is I really like at the very end of the month hold on you have pages like you have two lined pages, so I can make any notes I want to make.

If I’m in a doctor’s appointment or maybe after the appointment, make any notes and then also in the very beginning of the month, you know I’m going to do my medications here, but I can make any other notes over here that I need to or if they’re Just really simple notes: you know I can make them on the day of the pointman or maybe a day. I don’t have an appointment. I can just like you know, keep writing or whatever.

So I do really like that so yeah and then I have November and then December and then in the back I decided to do so. This is going to get creepy. Okay, so like don’t be creepy and like stalked, my doctors, okay, so I wanted to put in some notable dates. So these are some dates that a lot of people ask about when I go to appointments and see other doctors. So anyway, I had an ER visit because of chest pain, that’s kind of like what started this whole thing I mean.

Clearly. I’ve had stomach problems and reflux issues for a long time like years, but yeah. I thought I was having a heart attack and I was not because yeah my hernia was acting up and I clearly didn’t know. I had a hernia at the time and then I have September 19th. I had the endoscopy which they found the hernia. I had my fallopian tubes removed on October 31 and then I had this esophageal manometry and 24 hour pH test in November anyway, and then so I have like all my doctors written down that I’ve worked with or are going to be working with and then, like Current allergies so yeah and then I’ve got more pages to go, and then I actually put in like some of the places that I need to go their addresses so yeah and then I’ve got the 2021 page so anyway.

That is it for a look at my medical planner for 2020. I hope you guys enjoyed if you use a soft bound, a focused planner. Let me know in the comments what you use it for, but yeah this is going to be dedicated to all medical things. I will probably be sharing some glimpses of this on Instagram when I can and yeah.
