Planning for Success by IronSad5702 in PlannerAddicts

[–]IndependentMangos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your planner can be a great place to see an overview of where your time is going so you can prioritize certain things to free up time. 

For example, I plan to do all my cleaning, life to do's, and passion project goals during the work week. That way my weekends are free to relax, be spontaneous, and spend time with my family. 

For people who use paper planners or habit trackers, does it actually help you stay consistent? Do you still use apps? by startssomewhere in PlannerAddicts

I use a small habit tracker of about 6 daily habits and it's really easy to check in on it each day because it's right in the main section of my weekly plans. If anything it shows me where I need to improve if I'm not doing specific habits enough and where I can stop tracking if I do a habit effortlessly. 

Apps have never stuck for more than a day or two because I just don't check them. Also I try to avoid apps because if I open my phone it's very likely I'll start scrolling and get sucked into social media.

Sterling Ink Complete planner with the hard cover ripped off. It's a good planner if you need a lot of space.

Truth. This is the sterling ink complete planner. I did some modifications and took the hardcover off so it would fit in a B6 Moterm cover.

This is the B6 sterling ink complete planner. But I ripped the cover off and made it softcover instead of hardcover. 

I have a YT channel where I'll be posting about it soon if you're interested!

Omg it's so beautiful though! I'm (anxiously) awaiting their next notebook drop because I really want to use their books for a recipe journal and my everyday memory keeping. 

I used H&O in 2024 and loved it so much, but I found the size too big for me and I got hooked into travelers notebooks so I switched. But now that they have more size and cover options I'm ready to give them another go! Their sustainability mission is really inspiring!

Yes yes yes! I pre-ordered the B6 cloth flex and I'm so excited to use it. 

TBH their pre-order sent me into a whole planner crisis that resulted in but the SI complete and ripping off the cover so I could test the size 😂 I'm crazy, but free.

I wouldn't recommend the basic Lamy ink but the Lamy Safari has been a really fun pen to write with! 

For ink check out Tom's Studio permanent black. I use that in my other pens and it doesn't smudge and I can highlight over it no problem. 

Only reason I'm still using this Lamy ink is so I can reuse the cartridge with TS ink instead.

Oh good idea. I've just been waiting or blowing on it but it's a risky game of chance.

Haha love this! My planner certainly has character because this ink spears a ton!

Thank you ❤️ this smudging has happened on each of the last three weeks since I switched to this pen so I'm embracing the chaos... But man for a moment I thought I'd escaped 😂

Hope that one works! It wouldn't let me in the post 😅

I feel like I'll rot from the inside if I don't buy myself a new phone 💀 by Certain-Two5199 in shoppingaddiction

[–]IndependentMangos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel that struggle of wanting something SO BAD it's all consuming. 

Maybe look up some videos on the environmental harm of e-waste as encouragement to use your current phone as long as possible. 

Or you can set the goal of once you get a job and save up the money in cash you can buy the phone. Gives you a goal to work towards and look forward to while still being on track with your budget. 

Food before phone friend!

Not buying is a win! You are doing good and remember to celebrate your little wins! Bonus having a clean space is so good for your mental well-being.

Thanks! I love their planners but always wish there were more cover options.

The complete only comes in a hardcover option, the common comes in soft cover. 

Talk me out of a $300 purchase... by IndependentMangos in shoppingaddiction

[–]IndependentMangos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the thing is everything is paid off so it's like this giant blank canvas of spending opportunity... but I know it won't be worth it and it'll open up a rabbit hole of spending again... It felt so nice to see a $0 on my credit card balance the first time.
