It's no secret that I use planners to, well, PLAN. I have a crazy full life as a small business owner, a wife, a mom of two little ones, an exerciser, and a maker in my free time. My planner is usually filled with actual plans and to-do lists and not a lot of the beautiful and inspiring extras I see on other planners (which are, seriously, so beautiful). Here are some nuts-and-bolts-very-basic-but-this-is-how-I'd-use-the-planner-ideas for our 2023 Vertical Weekly Planner.

Here we are at the beginning of the year. You have your planner, I have my planner, and we are both two terrified humans absolutely frozen in place because we don't want to mess up this thing of beauty in front of us. All of those crispy, white, perfectly un-touched white pages. Those covers without any dings or dents. I know it, you know it. But, we bought planners in order to, well, plan! So, let's put perfectionism aside and remember that planners are meant to be lived in!

Task Management Tips

Written by Laurel Smith
Okay, so, task management. Let's talk about it. From one anxious, overachieving, control freak to another, nothing overwhelms me more than a giant task list. But nothing brings me more comfort than jotting alllllllllll of those tasks onto one, big brain dump and then assigning them a time, a day, a week, or a month to get done. This giant brain dump automatically takes me down 12,000 freak out notches. And those 12,000 notches make going through the crazy, giant, sometimes scary task list part worth it.
