What System am I using?


Over the past 6 weeks I have talked about 6 different planning systems, so today I will be talking about what system I use and what I use it in.
So, when I started out on my planning journey, I looked up a lot of information on what housed your planner to what you can have inside one.  After doing this for a month or so I felt like I should start out in a ring binding system. This way I could customize the inside with the planner inserts I felt I need. So, I went to my local Target store and bought a mini binder. When I got home I went to Pinterest a found free printables and started printing the inserts that though I need.  That was the start and I was hooked at planning my life. So, over the next year, I have tried many inserts, I got to the point I started making my own inserts in Word. I thought I found planner peace at this point. I was wrong I started watching videos on YouTube and found others making their inserts every eye pleasing, I want to do the same.




 So again, I went on the hunt for planner peace. Will on the hunt I found the world of traveler’s note book. I was not sure that this system would work, but want to try it out. Not wanting to drop $90 dollars on something I was not sure was going to work for me, I decided to make my traveler’s note book. I made my traveler’s notebook from cloth for a cheaper alternative to making it out of leather. I have large hand writing so I knew I wanted a large one. So, I went with the size of a wide traveler’s notebook.  Started making my inserts again, figuring out how to make the inserts that worked for me in the binder.




For some time, this worked for me but again could not make them as eye pleasing as I found on YouTube. So, again went on the hunt for a system that allowed me to plan and make it eye pleasing.
Now that you have my back story of my journey for planner peace. I found that Bullet Journal is the system that gives me planner peace. I can bullet journal in my 3-ring binder and also use it in my traveler’s notebook.
This way I can make it eye pleasing and also have a functional planning system.  Bullet Journaling is a forgiving planning system that works very well for me.  I can plan my House, Work and Personal Task in it without giving my attention just to one category. I can equally share my attention between the 3 categories’.
I just want to share with you all the way I plan and what system I feel most comfortable with for my planning.
