10 Inserts I Must Have in My Planner!

When I began setting up my planner I went to Pinterest to find free printable inserts and was quickly become overwhelmed with how many I could find. Also, I was not completely sure what kind of inserts I wanted and needed in my planner. So, I download what I thought I need, I did download many different kinds of the same inserts to try out to see if they fit what I was looking for.

I end up with a lot of inserts, but I did not have a system down to how I want to use my planner with the insert I had saved. So, I print the inserts and put them in to my planner, but found at the end of the week that I did not use them completely. So, then I decided each morning for one month to make sure to set down and fill out or just look over what I had planned for the week.  With doing this is it become a habit for me to do so each morning. Then I started the long process of using an insert for a month to see if it fit what I liked and need.

So, in this process I did find that there were always 5 different inserts I would place back into my planner for the next month. Here is my list of inserts that I used Monthly Calendar, Weekly Overview, Weekly To Do’s list, Meal Plan, Bill Log. I used these kinds of inserts for Six months now, but you can see by the title there is 5 more that I have not mentioned. So, as I used these inserts I found that I need a little bit more So then I started on the hunt for one with more details in them to help me with my planning.

The 10 inserts that I use every month are

·        Monthly Calendar

·        Monthly Overview

·        Weekly Overview

·        Monthly Master List

·        Daily Tracker

·        Meal Plan

·        Bill Log

·        Monthly Goals Log

·        Weekly Goals Log

·        Wish List

These 10 are a must have in my planner. Yes, I use them all!

The process of finding them was long but I find that I can’t wait to set down and fill them out, guess that make me a planner nerd. In the process of using the free printable I found that I need a flow from one insert to another. So, what someone else was using in they planner may have flowed for them but did not flow for me. So, when you are picking out your planner inserts make sure that they flow for you. That you get that feeling that you need to turn the page to fill out or just look over what you wrote on that page.
