Plan With Me

Today I'm going to be doing another Plan With Me and I really enjoyed making it that I thought I would make another and this time it's in a different planner but the same inserts which are from Filofax and are week on 2 pages as I find it hard to use any other style. My planner is from Paperchase by the way.

This is the 'blank' pages and they do have some page flags (from Paperchase) saying what day certain blog posts are going live so I know to promote them on my social media. There's also a paperclip which is actually from the week before.

I start by using some thin glitter tape at the top and I do this every week just so that top section is a little bit more fun. This tape is either from Wilko or Paperchase because I know I have thin silver tape from both places.

Then at the bottom I used some thicker washi tape from Wilko's and it does go over Wednesday and Sunday a bit but I don't mind as I still have a lot of room left to write plans for the day and if I needed to I could use a post-it.

I always decorate with some stickers and for this spread I used some makeup stickers from Paperchase and I just stick them in random places on the pages. 

I will then use some emoji stickers to mark down anything I know is happening and something that has an emoji. For example I used a book emoji on Sunday for planning next week (I had already used the notebook emoji on something else).

The top section on the left page I use for notes throughout the week and I just write over the 'This Week' putting 'Notes' and I do that with a BIC felt tip which I love.

I will then write down the stuff that I know will be happening and stuff I want to do that day. I use the Papermate InkJoys and the theme for this spread is red and every week it is a different colour and I base these on the BIC felt tip pen colours. 

Then I use some sticky dots from Wilko and these mark of dates and I just put them in the corner of each day. A couple of examples are that the light blue means important and the orange and yellow mean school (I hadn't used any when making this as I hadn't started school as this spread is from August).

I will then choose a postcard from my stash (all are from Paperchase) and I will use that as a blog post to do list throughout the week. Most people probably would have an inspirational quote but I like the jokey postcards as they give me a laugh when I see them and open my planner. 

I will then hole punch it into my planner which can be quite hard but since making this I have bought a single hole punch hopping that will be better.

As I said I use the back of the postcard as a blog to do list and as you can see I can't really write on that so I jazz it up a little and I'm going to show you how I do it.

Firstly I get an A5 size piece of card and trim it to the size of the postcard and stick it down using Pritt stick.

To jazz it up I use some glitter tape (from Wilko) around the edges and I got some more washi tape (from Paperchase) and wrote to do on top of it and it's really simple but looks a lot nicer.


That is the final spread and it's not entirely finished as I hadn't wrote in my plans for all of the week but this is how it looks on a Sunday after planning. I also papercliped in a post it note list of things to organise and this was from the week before but I hadn't organised everything so I just moved it.

Plan With Me

Today I'm going to be doing a Plan With Me which I've wanted to do for a while but I wasn't sure whether to do one or not because most people do them on YouTube but I don't have a YouTube channel but I'm just going to describe how I plan with pictures to go along.

This is my planner/organiser. It's from Paperchase and I got it for really cheap; it was originally £22 but there was 30% off so it was £15.25 but I had £5 off because of my Treat Me card so I got it for £10.25 which was really great. This is an A5 size and it's my first ever A5 and I love the size of it soooo much.

Firstly I choose a colour scheme for the week (usually goes in rainbow order and this week it's yellow) and I chose a washi tape that goes well. I don't have a yellow biro pen so I use green, purple and blue but the felt tip pen is yellow and everything that can be yellow is yellow.

                            
I'll also use some stickers and these animal stickers are from WHSmith. I will then grab a to-do notepad and a black pen and write all of the blog posts I want to do that week and when I've done them I tick them off with a yellow felt tip. I also use a paperclip to stick it on and when the week is finished I glue it down with a glue stick.

I will then get some sticky notes (these butterfly sticky notes are from Paperchase) and I use some of the page flags to write down what blog posts are going live on what days and I also use a square for notes as the Paperchase inserts don't have a note section which is a little annoying.

I will then write everything that I can and I will add to it in the week whenever plans come up or when I have to do something. I use the Papermate InkJoy pens and I don't actually colour code- I just use different colours to look pretty.

This is my finish spread and this picture was taken on a Thursday so I haven't filled out anything on Saturday and Sunday and only one thing in Friday but on a Sunday night this whole spread will be finished and will look really nice (well I hope it does)

That's how I plan. I don't do too much decoration because I want my planner to be practical but I do use pretty sticky notes as well as stickers and washi tape. Let me know if you want more planner posts because I like talking about this so it will be nice to know if you like them or not.
