Tech Based Planning
This is my 'New School' setup for when life gets fast. I use these apps when I need my schedule to follow me everywhere (on my phone, laptop, and even the kitchen wall). It’s all about reminders, moving things around easily, and having a search bar s...
I love that I can sync to all my devices. My husband can access the calendar and lists and also add to them. My kids really love checking off their morning routine and seeing what “reward” pops up on the screen after. I LOVE that it is simple and so ...

How can I not include Beneable! In traditional planning, we often clutter our weekly pages with things we want to do but aren't ready for yet. I use a Benable board as a 'holding pen' for these ideas. It keeps my Happy Planner clean and my mind focus...

What can't Canva do! So many planning options- I use Canva for everything!
Canva: Visual Suite for Everyone
The perfect digital scrapbook for visual thinkers. It lets you drag and drop notes, images, and links anywhere on a giant board. It’s great for 'brain dumping' a big project, but can feel a bit overwhelming if you prefer a simple, structured list!
Milanote - the tool for organizing creative projects
Think of this as a digital sandbox. xTiles lets you move blocks of notes, images, and tasks anywhere on the screen to build your own custom planning layout. It’s a visual person’s dream, but it can be a trap if you get distracted by moving things aro...

Traditional Planning
My 'Old School' favorites. I am a paper and pen girl at heart! Honestly, sometimes my brain just needs to get away from a screen. There’s something so satisfying about actually writing things down with a good pen and physically crossing a chore off a...

Teacher Planner | Lesson Plan Book - Erin Condren
The ultimate 'flexible' planner. Instead of a pre-printed layout, a dot grid allows you to design your own week. It’s perfect for the person who finds standard planners too restrictive. It’s a planner and a sketchbook all in one!
Dot Grid Notebook - Amazon.com
Great for those who suffer from 'planner guilt.' If you skip a day, you aren't wasting a page in a bound book. You just start fresh on a new sheet. I love keeping this right under my keyboard for quick notes during calls
Daily Tear Off Planner - Amazon.com
Color Coder here!! 🙋♀️🙋🏻♀️Traditional planning isn't just about writing; it's about visual cues. I use these to categorize my life: Blue for work, Pink for personal, and Green for finances. It makes a crowded paper page instantly readable.
MILDLINER Dual-Tip Creative Highlighter - Zebra Pen
This has been a life saver for me! It has helped me so much staying on task as I constantly hyperfixate! I used to spend hours deep cleaning daily/weekly. I now make this like a game to see how many and how quickly I can check things off!

For when I can't decide! These are the cool 'middle ground' tools I've found. They let me keep that pen-to-paper feel I love, but they still save everything digitally so I don't have to carry around ten different notebooks. It’s basically the best of...
For when you want the Happy Planner look without the physical bulk. It’s a digital file that acts like a real book—you can 'flip' pages and use an Apple Pencil to write and decorate with digital stickers. It’s the ultimate way to keep a 'pretty' plan...
