My A5 Planner Set Up

Finally I'm going to be sharing with you whats inside my A5 planner as I mention it a lot but I don't ever really share what's inside so I thought I would should you how I plan and how organise and set up my planner as I'm really happy with it at the moment. Just a warning this is a photo heavy post but I'll try to keep words down to a minimum but I will tell you where things are from; this A5 planner is from Paperchase.  

This is what you see when you first open the planner and in the front pockets I have these Wilko coloured dots stickers, which each colour means a different things like red is important dates. Then I have behind that which you can't see and they're colourful foil stars and in another front pocket I have the Today to-do list pad which comes with the planner but I haven't used it yet but I've kept it in there in case I want to use.

I also have my dashboard thing I made and I stuck some paper on the first card page it comes with then I stuck washi tape round the edge and stuck a neon star in the middle and with alphabet stickers I spelt out my name and I also used some stickers just for extra decoration. 

Paper- Homesense

Washi Tape & Stickers- Paperchase

Neon Star & Alphabet Stickers- Wilko

This planner came with some stickers and I just keep them here in case I want to use them. 

 

My first section is diary and this is the section that I come to the most. I made this divider the same as the first one and the same as all the other ones in this section.

You then get a yearly overview for 2016 and 2017 and at the top of the page I just used some washi tape from Paperchase.

Then you have an important dates section and it goes from July 2016- June 2017 and again I used some tape and this glitter tape is from Wilko.

You then get a year planner and you get a little section to write an important date on each day. I have so far just put stuff like birthdays and Halloween and dates like that.  

I first have some Paperchase inserts which the planner came with but at first I didn't like them so I bought Filofax ones (below) but after using them for like 2 weeks I did like them but I chucked the others away- woops.

These are the Filofax inserts and I got these as they had a notes section which the Paperchase ones didn't have and the spaces for each day is equal as on the Paperchase ones didn't have much room on Saturday and Sunday.

My next section is To-Do and I have my blog to-do list 

On the back of the divider I have a post-it with blog posts I want to do and then on the to-do list I have the order of blog posts and what ones I need to write. 

Next up is school and this was originally meetings but I don't go to meetings so I changed it to what would suit me better.

This originally was meeting notes pages but I stuck some washi tape over the top and just pretend it's notes paper as why would I want to waste paper. 

Next up I have my blog section and even though it says work I don't have a job as I'm in education but I put that because the divider tabs says work so I just put it so it was consistent. 

Inside I just have blog notes and I do decorate these pages because I like having everything in my planner decorated. 

Next we have a notes section.

I did cover up the post-it on the side so you can't read some blog post plans but I have random notes like a list of fun national days (even though I think they're American)

Next up is the buy section

This is just the section where I have shopping lists and I don't take this planner out but if I write it down I'm more likely to remember and then when I come home I see what I bought and tick it off. 

The last section is favourites and this is the divider I don't like as much because I had to use a big neon star as it was the only one left and I think the washi tape is too big but it's fine and I don't see it much. 

In this sections I just have favourites and this is where I plan my monthly favourites or anything favourites related like this notes is my favourites blog posts.

There is a large back pocket but I don't have anything in it but if I do use it I'll use it for loose papers.

This is the back of the planners and there is some marks but they're not that noticeable and I never turn over my planner just to see the planner so it's fine.

That's how I set up my planner and after taking all the pictures for this post I have kinda changed the set up a bit but only by adding in a sticky flag book in the front pocket and having a zip pocket at the back with stickers in.
