I just need open space for writing reminders. 🙂Ī truth I’ve come to realize is that the more I ask or expect my planner to do, the less I will use it. Here’s a photo of my homemade planner in its natural habitat doing its usual thing. I’ve gotten in the habit of just leaving my planner laying open on my bedroom dresser and I look at it every morning when I’m getting dressed and beginning my day. I was on the right track when I decided to make my own planner and so far my planner pages have been something I’ve stuck with and actually use. I’m always skeptical of paying big bucks for a planner, only to find it abandoned in a few months when it wasn’t quite what I wanted. AND, I wanted to save money! I wanted to come up with a way to print my own planner pages, if and when I wanted them. I wanted to be able to see one week at a time, and be able to quickly jot down any reminders and To-Do’s for the day, as well as get a quick overview of my meal plan. Last year for the first time I decided to make my own planner.

Overall, this planner is my secret weapon for how I handle multiple obligations and achieve my goals in 2018.
ECCOLO 2018 MONTHLY PLANNER HOW TO
For example, if my long-term goal is to read more or learn how to code, I plan a drill schedule each week, such as read x amount of pages by Wednesday or do pages x-x from my coding workbook. Meanwhile, long-term “skill-building” obligations go in the notes section of the right side. Regular obligations, such as work-related activities, blogging, and meal-planning, go on the left side of the planner, where I can plan them out day by day. This all-encompassing layout helps me stay organized, productive, and most importantly, goal-oriented.
As you can see from the photo above, not only does the left side of the planner lay out all the days of the week, but the right page also has sections for notes, to-do’s, reminders, and a goal of the week. The weekly schedule is more than just a simple breakdown of the days for the week. Like the binder planner, I use the monthly schedule to jot down important events and the weekly schedule to plan out my days.
I usually have a hard time finding a planner that fits my formatting preferences, but this one actually fits the bill in so many ways!Äoesn’t it look similar to the templates that I created for the binder planner? Kind of, right? The planner combines a monthly schedule and a weekly schedule.
Having just one planner makes more sense for my current lifestyle. Nowadays, I’m trading in math worksheets for meeting times instead. However, I do more management type of work now, so my needs for handouts are decreasing. That binder planner was helpful when I worked full-time as an instructor. In an earlier post, I mentioned that I planned my days with a binder planner. Yes, I’ve simplified my planning system a lot more. So, what is this planning system exactly? Why, it’s simply this beautiful leather planner from Eccolo Ltd.!* The planning system is mostly for work-related projects, but I recently incorporated more projects from outside of work in there too, including the blog. I started out the year with a new planning system, and it’s doing a pretty good job at managing my schedule. With that said, I would like to share how I’ve been planning my life for 2018 so far. The website is, after all, the heart of everything… Pre-Post Spiel: In a personal effort to improve at blogging, photography, and time management, I am pleased to announce that my goal is to upload a new post each week! At first, I thought that posting daily on Instagram and monthly on the website was enough, but I think that I need to pay attention to the website a whole lot more.
