Peek in Our Planners: Catch Up With Us

 Hey Y'all!

I, Amanda, like to keep a planner, but haven't even opened it since February. It was past time to do a little catching up.

We got these planners a few years ago in a Michaels Grab Bag, all of them were Recollections brand. (Chris also has a planner, but I didn't get it from him, I'm 99.9% sure he hasn't touched it anyhow...)

We also recently decided to try out a Budget Planner, more on that below.

I've shared about this planner before here:

https://craftinwifescreations.blogspot.com/2024/01/goals-for-2024.html

Things that have changed since that blog? I've really grown to like the layout. There's a lot of space for each days activities to be written out.

My (main) Planner:


I'm doing pretty well on my goals for the year, some are completed..





I just recently filled out this bucket list section, all are goals I'd like to achieve this year, except the first one. It's more a 5 year goal.
I've already ticked off a few!



Note to myself, a tiny bit of catching up/getting up to date.


This section is a bit impossible to fill out, every day is so different, especially the afternoons. Moving forward I'll skip it, like I do the daily goal tracker in the rear of each month.


I also still don't use the calendar format pages for anything. To do so seems redundant.


Working on this weeks page:
Purple is Craftin' Wife's Creations, Green is Outland Adventures, and Pink is everything else.


Figuring out the blog, and social media schedule:



For now that catches us up in my planner.

We've recently implemented the Budget Planner, but I think after flipping through it, and filling it in some for this blog, it's not quite what we're needing.



As I was flipping through it was evident this planner is more focused on earning/saving than budgeting. I modified the pages to fit my need as best I could.





After I filled this in we got the notice that our van insurance has went from $30 to $55 monthly, we decided to go yearly and save a bit of money.

My phone had one more month before it was eligible to switch to the yearly plan, so that's what that notation means.

 


I've shared enough, it's really none of your business what's in our Money Market account.



This is the page I feel is most relevant to us, and I could just as easily do this in any notebook, so we'll see if we opt to change this out and just do a budget notebook in the future.



 

Do you use a planner? Which one(s)? Let me know in the comments below!


Thanks,

The Outlands
