Planner And Planning Check-In

I am still awaiting the delivery of my Sterling Ink 2024 planner. So, I can’t discuss that until it arrives.

What I have been doing in my Bullet Journal is the same old same old. However, for November, I have yet to set up a monthly calendar and I probably will not at this point. I have the monthly to-do and the monthly events lists set up, which are all I need.

I have been setting up various reflection and inspiration spreads for the beginning of the month, but only then. In October, I didn’t even bother to fill most of them out because October was such a difficult month for me. For November, I filled them out almost as soon as I set them up.

In October, I didn’t keep up with my weeklies or much of anything else. I did the bare minimum to keep from going insane, but not much more than that. Already in November, I am keeping up much better.

Ok. So far in November, I have that first partial week, and the second week, all set up. I am making use of everything. I am tracking my daily tasks. I am working on my to-dos. Everything in my planner seems to be going well.

I did start another notebook. It is somewhere between a Bullet Journal and a … do I say art journal or junk journal. I think the junk journal would be more appropriate.

I have been watching a lot of Jessica and the Moon videos on YouTube.

I have been watching newer videos and older videos…and they didn’t just get me thinking, they got me moving.

I pulled out one of my A5 Archer and Olive notebooks that I have had on my shelf. I cut pages and created different textures. I used washi tape on all my edges.

Then I used sticky notes to decide what each spread would be for.

I am slowly writing in the titles and whatnot on each page and spread. Most of the current spreads are 2024-centric. I have a Vision Board, Word Of The Year, Quotes, Affirmations, Quarterly Planning, Monthly Planning, Themes, Project Pages, and so forth.

At the moment, this book is meant for planning and reflection, and Tarot/Oracle readings. That sort of thing.

In 2024, my plan (no pun intended here) is to keep all my planning, to dos, and deadlines in one planner, most likely my Sterling Ink planner. Then I will keep a separate Bullet Journal for daily pages and for the like.

At least at the moment, this is my plan.

How is your current planning set-up going?

What about for 2024?
