I’m a pen and paper planner kind of gal. I tried to do everything digitally on my phone like my husband does, but it didn’t work for me. The one item that I will continue to do is to keep a digital appointment calendar with recurring reminders for birthdays, anniversaries and bill due dates. The digital calendar integrates quite nicely with my paper planner system.
My preferred planner is the classic size Happy Planner with a dashboard layout. I tried moving to the mini format once I retired, but quickly went back the larger classic size. For 2023, the company offered a sewing themed planner, which I’ve really enjoyed using. There’s a Miss Maker version available for 2024 that’s really cute, but it comes with a vertical checklist layout. I tried an expansion pack in this format to see how I’d like it. Nope! Apparently, my preference for the dashboard layout is stronger than I thought! Do you have a strong preference for a particular type of planner, too?
Picked up my 2024 classic planner with a dashboard layout today from Michaels. It’s the cute Say Hello to Happy theme. Everything is right in my planner world again. Now to transfer the 2024 scheduled events to the new calendar!
