“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” ~Anatole France
Welcome to my new series for October. Hands down this year my topic for the Nester’s 31 Days Series, had to be planners and planning. I am pretty excited about the topic and it is one that is near and dear to my heart. My own history with planner love started out many moons ago. Dinosaurs still roamed the earth. Life was simpler then.
OK, OK, but truthfully, life was simpler when I used my first planner. I was attending community college, working part time, and single. Friends, life was a breeze. I remember my first little At- A -Glance Agenda like it was yesterday. What prompted me to use a planner was actually my first Personal Training Job. Before then, I don’t know what I did…I just went to classes, worked wacky hours with little sleep and basically showed up, by the grace of God, in all the places I was supposed to be without much adieu.
Fast forward. I graduated to a Day Runner style planner once I began running my own Personal Training Business. It was like a rite of passage. That Planner went with me everywhere. I recall taking a trip to West Palm Beach in 1990, only to discover I had left my precious planner in the airport at some point. The feeling I had, felt as if I lost one of my best friends. My planner served as my partner, really. I realized I had every important business document in that one portable place the day it disappeared, including my, at the time, brand new “incorporation” papers. Miraculously, 3 days later, the airport phoned and told me my planner was safe and sound. Better still, also very convenient, it was in my own state. That experience was a quick education on what goes in the planner and what does not. However, my planner is still a very significant part of my life.
I have three books that are crucial to my peace of mind. My personal journal, my planner and my Bible. I have an abundance of the three. But most always, I keep one of each within reach.
This series, is not to sell you on a certain planner or planning system (That being said I will share my current system in an upcoming post). I have used many, both successfully and unsuccessfully. I have attended seminars taught by a number of time management specialists in the field of Planners, Planning and Time Management.
Let me put it this way: Using a planner is not unlike anything else in life available to optimize our ability to live our best life. It’s like an Exercise Program or Gym. If we use it, it is beneficial to us, right? If we don’t…not so much.
Investing time and money in something we do not use is not practical. It’s not the planner itself, or the exercise program, or the particular gym. All of which I have had much experience in as well!
It is the habit that is crucial. If we do not develop the planner habit, no planner or magical planner printable page is going to help us. If we don’t develop the exercise habit, no awesome program or gym membership is going to get us into shape.
In reality the key to success in both realms lies in our ability to persevere, stay flexible and adapt the planner (or program) to our specific need. Most importantly, we don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, right? Or the gym membership out. Well, actually if you are not using it, YES, you do. Go and cancel it. BUT, find another way to do what you know you need to do. I love the saying, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” It’s true. Set your mind, and it will be done. If the planner is not working, whether set up, sheets, or whatever…chuck it or them (or graciously give them away) BUT don’t you dare throw out the habit!
So whether you are a planner drop out, planner addict or downright planner phobic, I am here to shed some light, have some fun, share some insight, encouragement and resources with the hope I will help balance whatever end of the spectrum you are on, in your current planning season, for the good!
Please note: The posts will be short and include a practical tip, a quote, and a planner prayer/meditation daily.
I asked a few questions in my initial Planner Shout Out and will put them here as well to give you all a chance to ponder and respond in the comment section:
1.) Do you use a Planner ?
2.) If not why, and if so, what are the biggest challenges, obstacles you face in your day-to-day usage?
3.) If you do use a planner now, do you believe you are using it successfully, and if not, why not?
4.) What kind of tips would be most helpful for you to see here in October?
* Feel free to answer any or all of these!
Help me, help you! 😉
**One more thing: This will be the official “Landing Page” for all of the Planning with Purpose posts. You will be able to find a link to this post on my sidebar throughout October for easy access to each of the 31 Days here as they are available. I will do my best to get the link up as soon as it goes live, but if I overlook it, feel free to give me a holla!

I am so excited can you tell?
1.) Do you use a Planner ? Yes currently I am using two. One for work and one for home. The one that suffers the most is the one for home.
2.) If not why, and if so, what are the biggest challenges, obstacles you face in your day-to-day usage? Day to day usage as far as my home planner is a matter of time for me. I do my work planner at work but my home planner always get shoved back as I would rather spend time in God’s Word that plan. I know right.
3.) If you do use a planner now, do you believe you are using it successfully, and if not, why not? No I am not using it to its fullest potential. I am missing appointments and not tracking to do’s properly.
4.) What kind of tips would be most helpful for you to see here in October?
Accountability in planning. how to successful track to do’s, goals, dreams and projects.

2. I totally get this…balance is a challenge- some days are better than others for me. I think making a little progress can be a great encouragement. Hope we can come up with useable strategies, or encouragement to help!
3. So we need to pin point why. How abpout planning to open the planner at a certain point no matter what? Routines will be covered. How to make them successful…and how not to throw in the towel when we fail.

Love this, Dawn! And of course, the whole point is not just to plan, but to plan with PURPOSE–His purpose. Honestly, until I read about your planner passion, I thought there must be something a little wrong w/ me (well, not wrong, but eccentric)! Michael really thought I was kidding when one year for Christmas I requested a Franklin Covey Planner. He didn’t get it, because it sounded really practical and unexciting. I was so disappointed, and so I went out and treated myself to one. It really *was* what I had wanted as a gift! I first learned about the idea of a planner from my mentor Anne Ortlund, now living out the fruits of her planning with Jesus in heaven, when I read her book, Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman. Honestly, I think that her idea of using a “notebook” was the mother/prototype o f all great planners. So, using her ideas, I just put together a notebook, with all the various tabs. But using Franklin-Covey…..well, no, first Dayrunner, made it much more professional. It did not have a Christian application though. There was a really neat Christian planner called DayMaster, but Sandi Lucas no longer makes it. Then I went to Franklin-Covey, and yet it didn’t have the color I liked. I knew I wanted something with flair, where maybe I could draw pix, do mindmaps, create collage, and do some journaling. I foudn something called Sacred Journey Planner ( http://www.sacredjourney.com/). There are a # of features I really love about it, like creamy, heavy paper that will “take” drawing and collaging/glue, and places to write goals, your credo, journal entries, etc. But I ultimately stopped using it, because there was not enough room to put my appointments or really to journal (just short entries). It has a decidedly weird, New Age element to it, which I don’t like. But because my head was on straight, and I didn’t buy into all of that, I just ignored it, taking what I could. But in the end, it wasn’t working for me. Next,I tried a Moleskine planner, which looked professional, but there was not enough room to write, and frankly, the paper quality if inferior. So I dropped that. Now, I am using Planner Pad. http://plannerpads.com/ It’s recommended by paper-organizing guru, Barabara Hemphill, author of Taming the Paper Tiger. SHe apparently stopped using a digital planner, and prefers the simplicity of this one. I really like the fact that you can see the week all laid out on two pages. There’s a place for miscellaneous notes, daily to-do’s, and your schedule. ….also for calls and perhaps a shopping list. You can customize it. There is a place for phone #s, goals, and long-range calendar pages. You can get it in spiral or loose-leaf. Interestingly, I found a lady who uses the monthly spread to do her art-journaling-collage of her goals for the month. http://www.theartfullifeblog.com/category/monthly-goals/
Again, overall, her site is way too New-Agey for me, so I don’t read it, but I thought her concept of collaging monthly goals was interesing. I am realizing the oider I get, the more color I need. There’s a great quote in The Message that talks about color. I need to find that. I digress……but these are just some of the tools I’ve used over the years. But I am finding that I need to invent a neat Christian planner that would utilize some of these design elements that I love and that cheer me on to make plans. Can’t wait to see what you are offering here, Miss Dawn. Soooo grateful to you!

Hi Lynn…AND Kel…Oh my, I have been missing all of this commentary! LOL. I was out all day and here some of my very favorite people are here without me. Boo! Well, I know of that book, and by Ann O. Have perused it and yes I do believe she and many other lovely thinking women probably kept simple notepads and they were all creative in there own way…I attended many Franklin Covey programs and it is one of my fave products and resources. I have an orange one I’ll not part with hubs gave me for the birthday years ago. I love it. Sigh. SWOON. and Sigh again. I do not know why I love so much planners…but I will be writing about this as well in the upcoming days and how it relates to our relationship to and with God…anyhoo. Let’s see, yes, I did use the Planner Pad for a while while I was still working full time in PT. I did like it. Loved the layout. Very practical. I can work with just about anything…because the planner habit is so ingrained. I have multiple prototypes in my journals for the ultimate journal/scrapbook/planner…but I just do not think we creatives can be limited to ONE book. Right, Kel? What do you think, Lynn? Many women design there own, and I am part of a wonderful group of Planner peeps, who share free created templates and also sometimes help out to create them (those who can) for those who can’t to their own design! I will check the links you shared out…I may have seen the art journal collage one, as I am about that…love that exercise and have done it many times throughout my life…Yes, you could design your own…I think everyone should kind of tailor to their own needs and desires…Love you…

It’s interesting that you and Kel use several. I have always “heard” that one should stick to one so nothing gets lost. That was the beauty of Anne O’s system, although then you have lots of loose-leaf paper to store. And now that I have PlannerPad, it’s spiral, and harder for writing goals, etc. I realize I could get their looseleaf version and insert my own stuff, but i was hoping to simplify a bit. And I don’t like the idea of all that storage. i know that Covey makes these storage notebooks, but again, I didjn’t want to do that. I guess one could have an appointment planner and then a lifeplanner. I’ll be interested for you (and Kel and others) to share more about this. As far as customizing and just designing my own, which in a way I did early on, I don’t like that the quality isn’t there. I love the idea of really nice paper that doesn’t bleed, etc. That is what I liked about Sacred Journey. The paper is thick an velum-y. But I hated it’s awkward spiral and no real good way to put app;ointments down. And I didn’t like the New Age element, though as I’d said, I just ignored it. You don’t have to throw the baby out w/ the bathwater, but overall, it didn’t work so well for me. I wish I could design something that could be reproduced at not too great of an expense. Oh, and Anne, included written prayers in her notebooks, but I definitely put mine in a regular journal. Just some thoughts……. Thanks for doing this! Excellent.

Lynn, I appreciate you sharing these thoughts. It is helpful. I should clarify though…I do only use one planner, but I write too much to really carry that around all the time. I do like the idea of Jenny Penton who also keeps it VERY simple…as her own mother did. They were influenced by Anne Ortland as well. And I love Jenny’s life-planning for women approach instead of being task masters…I think I had that paperback by Ann years ago – it was a pink cover. Right?

I just went back to using a paper planner after using strictly Google calendar and my iPhone for a few years. 1) I wasn’t really looking at my calendar on a daily basis, mainly when I knew something was coming up; 2) On my phone it’s hard to get “the big picture”; 3) I’m terrible at journaling and hoping recording little tidbits in my planner (I’ve left room for that) on a regular basis might get my mind thinking that way. It’s just good to hold it in your hands or on your lap and put pen or pencil to paper. I use my planner for my calendar, recording prayer requests & praises, keeping track of my housecleaning routines, notes, coupons, shopping lists. It’s really a work in progress since I’ve just gone back to it this week. I print my own pages for maximum flexibility. I look forward to seeing your tips!

Excellent topic. I am excited to follow along with this! Here are my answers to the questions you posed:
1.) Do you use a Planner ?
I have a planner but I don’t use it to its full potential! I have a small zippered planner that was given to me when I was in the Army. It is camouflaged and well-worn, and out-dated, but it is all mine and has seen me through almost 2 decades.
2.) If not why, and if so, what are the biggest challenges, obstacles you face in your day-to-day usage?
I want to be able to customize the inserts to meet my needs, not just what I can buy at Office Depot. I also find that I have way too many sticky notes throughout that are never transferred to a more permanent location in my planner.
3.) If you do use a planner now, do you believe you are using it successfully, and if not, why not?
Sometimes I think I am too busy and just don’t use it…but then I end up forgetting half of what I should have done, or trying to remember if I did or didn’t do specific things.
4.) What kind of tips would be most helpful for you to see here in October?
Motivation to use it and ideas for consistency and creating routine when using a planner.

I do! I’ve used a Franklin Covey planner – Classic size for the past 25 years. Even worked in one of their retail store because I was passionate about their planners!
2.) If not why, and if so, what are the biggest challenges, obstacles you face in your day-to-day usage?
I constantly fight the size issue. I want the convenience of the half-size with the roominess of a full page! I drive myself and my husband crazy with my out loud conversations about this.
3.) If you do use a planner now, do you believe you are using it successfully, and if not, why not?
I use my planner for EVERYTHING. It holds me entire life – from plans to lists to brainstorming to quiet time notes and everything else!
