Just One Final Tip Before I Wrap Up This Post.

I prefer to decorate my weekly layouts in my Erin Condren Life Planner, whereas others may prefer just pen to paper. Then you have then entire page decorated where it is called no white space planning. It’s all about what works for you as well as what keeps you going back to your planner. The key is to stay consistent every single day within your paper planner in order to develop routines and habits.

The most important takeaway is to pick a planner that fits your needs. Don’t go based off of how the planner looks decorated on social media. Even though there’s a lot of trial and error when you first start planning, but you do know what your schedule looks like. I promise that eventually you will find your planner groove. Until next time.
