It’s always good to keep an open mind.<\/p>\n

Even if I am pretty happy with my planner setup\/inserts\/layout\/size (etc) – I always keep an open mind and an eye out for new and interesting ways to utilize my planner. \u00a0I am open to switching things up a bit if I come across a new idea that intrigues me.<\/p>\n

Recently, I saw an Instagram post from plan2create<\/a> that got me thinking. \u00a0Julie put a weekly insert (a foldout of her own design) on one side of her personal planner and then put a daily page on the other (facing) side of her personal. \u00a0Brilliant, right? \u00a0Maybe all of you have been doing this already, but it really struck me as so functional. \u00a0In one glance, I could see my schedule for the week and also the nitty gritty of my current day… like to-do lists and errands and meal plan? \u00a0It just made lots of sense.<\/p>\n

So I rushed over to Julie’s etsy shop and downloaded her weekly printable<\/a> so I could try this out.<\/p>\n

I don’t have my camera set up for videos yet, so today’s post is sort of a photo montage of my process. \u00a0First I printed out the inserts on 32 lb paper. \u00a0I print on regular letter-sized paper and then Julie has added these registration marks in the corners so that you know where to trim it out to the perfect size for a personal planner. So handy!<\/p>\n\n

I use a bone folder to score and fold the insert so that it lays nicely in my planner.<\/p>\n

Now I’m ready to decorate! I started by finding some stickers that I love and then pulled \u00a0out some coordinating ink colors. \u00a0I looked through my stash and paid attention to stickers that are narrow like these banners from The Reset Girl – the perfect size to fit in these skinny columns!<\/p>\n
