Right now I'm using the weekly pages as a modified week + notes, where I use the spaces directly under the printed days of the week to plan my days, and the middle of the weekly spread for my tasks lists for that week. I have separate lists for Goals, Email/ Call, Household, Blogs and any other specific topics for that week.
I use the last line on each day's space to write the dinner menu for that day. It really helps me do meal planning to see the entire week at a spread so I can see when my busy days are and what meals I'm able to spend more time on.
Using a weekly spread to plan my week and write my lists allows me to see what I need to do and when I have time to do it.
You can read about how I'm using this planner along with my daily and monthly planners in What I'm Currently Using.
I have tried with monthly planners alone and there is just no way they can handle the lists. But I had a major fail with my beloved weekly planner yesterday when I needed a rarely used security phone number and didn't have it - a terrible planner fail. Am fighting the urge to run tail between legs back to "the brick" ring binder (with tabs I never look behind). I would have had a page with those numbers in there for sure. Will just add relevant numbers to weekly as I go along.
ReplyDeleteAliandra I don't know if your weekly planner has an address booklet, but that's where I write all my reference info and numbers. If not, I've found that designating a page in the back of the planner for this info works better than having it scattered throughout the weekly pages all year.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps! :)
Thanks, Laurie. That's a great idea. I photocopied the pages from my old ring binder and used removable tape to stick the copies on the back pages of my weekly planner.
