Planning for minimalists
1 notebook and 1 phone app
This is going to be short but sweet. I wanted to quickly share with you what I’m currently using for organization and planning during these past few months. I decided to try planning for minimalists which resulted from my desire to fulfill at least one of the many pretty notebooks I bought in my online spending sprees.
To begin with, let me say that I decided to organize my days with the help of 1 notebook and 1 phone app. Read whether you could use them together in this post “ Planner or phone app — what to use for better organization? “.
What kind of notebook I use and in what way
I opted for one bound, thinner notebook in lines, with a ribbon over it holding the notebook closed. It is rather small in size so it can fit in my bag, because I like to carry a planner with me all the time.
When planning, I follow extremely simple rules:
- the daily plan is in the form of a “TO DO” list by items,
- I color code everything, so it is easier to find what I’m looking for; and
- I write both business and private plans in the same notebook.
In the planner, I also keep track of my expenses and income. I love having a lot of space for notes…
