Functional Planning Inside My Planner

DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH PLANNING, TIME MANAGEMENT AND PERSONAL ORGANIZATION?

IF YOUR PLANNER ISNT MAKING YOU MORE PRODUCTIVE, IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S THE PLANNER!
Most planners are just paper based reminder systems that help you recall tasks and appointments. All you get with most planners are a yearly calendar meant for referencing dates, monthly boxed spreads to schedule in appointments and events, and weekly or daily inserts where you can create a to-do list and schedule for the day.These planners don’t improve your productivity because the system isn’t built to help you truly plan, instead, this system of inserts is meant to help you record dates and tasks. It’s a reminder system, not a planner! We all have more to do than time to get it done in a day, so although reminders are nice so we don’t forget important things to do that could cause us issues in the future, what we actually need to become more productive, efficient and successful in our lives is a planner that actually functions as a planner. I call this a Functional Planner.

WHAT MAKES A PLANNER FUNCTIONAL?

A functional planner must give you the ability to get your thoughts and ideas out of your head and onto paper so you can organize and act on that information.

A functional planner must give you the ability to organize your work into strategic objectives that can be tracked as project plans, routines or habits.

A functional planner must give you the ability to allocate and assign your tasks into your schedule so you see exactly what you need to do and when to do it, to accomplish your plans.

IMAGINE USING A PLANNER WITH THE RIGHT SYSTEM OF INSERTS INSIDE TO MAKE YOU MORE PRODUCTIVE AS YOU USED IT?
This isn’t wishful thinking.

Since 2015, I have been refining a functional planner design that uses research backed time, task and personal energy management strategy alongside cutting edge neurological science.

The result is a first of it’s kind functional planner with a system of inserts designed to help you clear your mind, organize your objectives strategically, and manage your time and tasks so you can finally be and feel like the most productive and organized version of yourself!

How I Track Recurring Monthly Tasks Inside My Planner

Hello My Charmed Ones!

Today, I want to give you a peak inside my planner to see how I track recurring monthly tasks, and the insert I use to keep this information organized for me.

Recurring monthly tasks are those items that we only need to do usually once a month or perhaps less frequently. They could be payments or bills, but they can also be life tasks that you only need to work on about once a month, and even in those cases, they may not happen on a specific set schedule.

I personally like to keep track of when I complete these sorts of recurring tasks on their own tracker for piece of mind that I know things are getting done and so that I have a reference of what date each month I did the task, if it’s important to keep that information.

Here are some examples of the Recurring Monthly Tasks that I track:

Dog grooming, nails, teeth: I do my dog grooming myself, which consists of bathing, cutting nails, brushing teeth etc but I don’t always do these tasks together or on a set date.

Dog Food: I make my dogs wet food, and one batch usually lasts me around 6 weeks, so I like to track the last time I made the food to help me anticipate when I may need to do it next.

Business Finances: This means going through and totaling up all my income and expenses to make tax time a little easier. It’s something I try to get to once a month.

Washing my car: I don’t have a set schedule for washing my car, but I do like to track the last time I did it so I know how long it has been.

Posting new freebies: This is a task I do each month but the day I do it may vary, so I track it for my own peace of mind.

Manual payments: Most of my bills are on autopay or have a specific due date that I am aware of, but I do currently have one bill that is a one off-manual payment where the due date varies and I like to track that I paid it each month and the date I did so.

Now, the specific insert I use to track these recurring monthly tasks is a Yearly Task Tracker of my own design. It has space to write out the task and then large boxes for each month of the year so that you can either check off the task the months they have been completed or write in the date you completed the task.

As you can see from the image above, I do a mix of checking off tasks and writing in the dates. If I feel like it’s necessary to have the date for reference I like to write it in. I find that particularly helpful for certain tasks and bills.

You can get this insert free when you enroll in my Productivity + Planning Mastermind Membership.

This is what I created the Mastermind for.

To be a safe space for women like you and I who see beyond the surface of our societal expectations and know there is a better way to live.

It’s a place for support, encouragement, accountability and ongoing personal development for us to continue challenging accepted norms and choosing our own unique path to success.

→ The Mastermind includes so many resources to help you on your journey, from multiple live calls each month, to on-demand strategies, tools, and even a complete course on productivity!

→ We have our own private chat forum where we connect and discuss topics ranging from planning, metaphysics, mindset, and wellness.

→ We even have a monthly book club!

→ And the best part is, when you join the Mastermind, you get immediate access to the entire library of resources, masterclasses and bonus materials that I have been creating since it’s launch.

→ There is no waiting, content isn’t dripped to you, it’s all there for you to explore and access on-demand as you please.

→ And of course I am there as well for guidance and to answer your questions along the way.

When you know better, you do better.

Are you ready to do better for yourself, your family and your future by committing to your personal development to become the best woman, mother, spouse, sister, daughter, aunt and friend that you can be?

Click here to learn more about the Productivity + Planning Mastermind and enroll now for just $22/month and a valuable bonus when you choose the annual payment option.

How I Work on Manifestation & Mindset Inside My Planner

Your planner is an untapped success tool in more ways than you can imagine.

For quite some time now, I have strongly believed that our planners are tools to be used strategically for our success. If you allow it, your planner can be more than just a place to record your schedule and to-do’s.

Think about it- this is a physical tool that we carry around to organize our life in, and if we choose to, we can use it to organize and facilitate our success as well.

And this applies whether you are using a physical planner or a digital planner on your computer or phone. I don’t care what type of planner you are using, nearly any planner can be used in a way that will expand your experience and benefit you for working in it on a daily basis.

As the title of today’s post illustrates, one of the ways I put this concept into action in my own planner is by using it to do manifestation and mindset work.

Manifestation and Mindset Work is an Essential Key for Success

Like many who have accomplished any amount of success, I attribute much of my achievement over the course of my lifetime to my mindset and receptivity to manifestation principles, even if I didn’t clearly acknowledge them as such at the time.

It’s pretty well accepted now that mindset, your beliefs and outlook on life, play a key role in what you are able to accomplish, also known as manifest. Mindset is often the “secret ingredient” that gives specific individuals an edge in their pursuits. Where many have failed, a positive mindset is often the deciding factor in why one prevails.

Of course, there are still plenty of people who label mindset work as a type of pseudoscience that isn’t real. This doesn’t surprise me, as mindset is often difficult to quantify, and therefore nearly impossible to test for or measure in any way that would allow us to understand its precise role in patterns of success or failure.

That doesn’t prevent or deter me from believing in and working on my mindset, in order to manifest the outcomes I desire for my life. If self-reporting counts for anything, I certainly can attest that working on my mindset with tangible strategies has, in fact, made me a more productive and successful person.

When I actively work on my mindset, I hit more of the goals I set for myself, and show up more fully and intentionally to my tasks for the day.

I certainly prescribe to the idea that “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right,” – Henry Ford

When I choose to “think I can” I am more focused and accountable to seeing my goals through to fruition.

The Manifestation and Mindset Strategies I Use Inside My Planner

Although Manifestation and Mindset are intangibles that are hard to quantify, there are some practical strategies I use nearly every day inside my planner that I’d like to share with you.

Goal + Objective Setting

Whether you know it or not, every time we set a goal for ourselves, we are taking the first steps in the manifestation process. Claiming what it is that you want, and then deciding “how” you are going to make it a reality by choosing objectives is like placing an order with the Universe for what you want to receive in your life. This is manifesting, plain and simple.

So, by simply writing down your goals and objectives someplace in your planner, you are manifesting them. And if you take the additional step on a regular basis to review those goals and objectives, track your progress on them and especially, imagine how you are going to feel when you reach the goal or hit the objective, that’s doing some strong metaphysical work to continuously align with your desired manifestation and call it in even quicker.

This is why I keep my goals and objectives listed out in my planner, right at the front because these are important pieces of my life plan and organization. On top of that, I also keep a vision board right there will my goals broken out into images that I can review on a daily basis and get into alignment with.

Daily Intentions

Another powerful way I manifest inside my planner is through setting daily intentions. Think of intention setting as the way we check in and align ourselves with God/Spirit/The Universe to choose how we want our day to flow in alignment with our best life. In many ways, I think of intention setting as a parallel of prayer. If you pray in the morning when you wake up or in the evening before you fall asleep, you are checking in with a higher power to align with the feeling of the life you desire.

I set intentions for my day inside my planner on daily planning inserts. You could easily write out your intentions on your planner spreads and this is a great way to use free white space in our planners. You could also, of course, write your intentions each day on spare notepaper. It doesn’t have to be fancy, you just need to show up and do the work each day and your planner is an excellence place to do that work.

Affirmations

A powerful way that I address my mindset and do work to overcome limiting beliefs holding me back from fully realizing my goals is through writing and/or reciting affirmations daily. Because affirmation work can be done verbally or written out, I have a few inserts inside my planner I use for this purpose.

First, I keep a list of affirmations and beliefs I am trying to program into my mindset in my planner. I will flip to these pages and read over the affirmations and beliefs on a near daily basis. Second, I also keep dedicated inserts in my planner for writing out affirmations in what I call the 3 x 3 manifestation style. Which means, I write three affirmations out, three times each to help with repetition and mindset reprogramming. This work I do on a weekly basis

Journaling

Last but certainly not least, the final way I work on manifestation and mindset inside my planner is through journaling. Now, I realize that some people would do their journaling in a notebook separate from their planner, but I don’t. I like having everything together because as I believe I have illustrated from this post alone, the goals I am manifesting are strongly tied to my daily work, and as far as I’m concerned this entire process of mindset, manifestation and productivity is the most important work I do in a day to ensure I am showing up and working towards my best life.

In terms of how I journal inside my planner, I use dedicated inserts where I will list out things like daily gratitude, script how I want my day to flow, overcome specific limiting beliefs and set my vibe for the day. I don’t always journal daily, but I do several times a week and it goes a long way to keeping me in alignment and constantly motivated to bring my goals to fruition for both my life and business.

The Manifestation and Mindset Tools I Use Inside My Planner

As you might imagine, the manifestation and mindset tools I use inside my planner are all of my own original design, but they are all inserts that I openly share with my Productivity + Planning Mastermind Members! If you are interested in starting a daily manifestation and mindset practice that puts you into daily alignment with your goals and motivates you each day to work productively towards the achievement of your best life, you would make an excellent addition to the Mastermind.

When you join the Productivity + Planning Mastermind, you get instant access to all the exclusive tools and trainings I have developed month over month for the members of the group, as well as access to the signature Productivity + Planning Mastermind course and our private Slack community for connection and accountability!

You can choose to enroll in the Mastermind for a full year in advance, which equates to just $22 per month PLUS gives you access to the entire 2021 Master Plan System of inserts I use to plan my life and business.

Or you can choose the month to month subscription and start now for just $33.
