Pip Tip Tuesdays & January Planner Giveaways

You didn't think the giveaways ended just because the holidays were over did you? I know I've said this a few times, but I'm bound and determined to get SUPER organized this year (if I keep saying it, it will happen, right?). Now, just because my organization game could use a little love, don't think that I'm not well prepared! I've had a small planner addiction for quite some time and am here to pass that addiction on to you this month (for those of you fellow addicts, consider me your personal enabler!). We're giving away some of my favorite planners all month long... Welcome to January's giveaways and the start of Pip Tip Tuesdays! Every Tuesday look for a post with some fun tips and theΒ giveaway of an awesome planner.Β Follow along all month for a chance to win the January Grand Prize (keep your eyes on social media for the reveal later this month)!

Today's #PipTipTuesday

I'm gonna start with a basic one here, but it's one that I think is super important and if you actually DO IT, you're half way there...and then the fun part comes.
Β Make time to plan.
Whether you are planning your day-to-day, setting goals, trying to cut down on sugar, planning an event, orΒ just doing your best to make good use of that super cute new planner you bought (lol), setting one time of the week to do it is important. With everything that I've got going on, this totally won't happen unless it's ingrained in my schedule. So, just like my Saturday afternoon nap (which is set in stone and everyone who knows me KNOWS not to call between 2-4pm!), I set 30 minutes every Sunday night after the kids are down, andΒ plan out my week. A nice cup of tea, glass of wine, or sparkly beverage definitely helps too (maybe that's it's own tip, haha)!

I use a mixture of planner ideas and have several different planners. Every evening before bed I go through my day and check off if I kept what I had planned. Since things always change, sometimes it is repeated for the next day or crossed out altogether. Then in the middle I have monthly calendars for special things like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. In the back is where I get fancy and use washi, stickers, and colored pens and pencils. I follow the BuJo way of numbering those pages and write an index with page numbers so things are easy to find. After years of using different ways, this is what I have found works best for me. So that is my biggest first tip – try different ways until you find what works out best for you! Part of that is making it fun and not having it feel like a chore. I keep an all holiday planner to keep each month’s holidays and plans such as what I must read for my monthly reading challenge, if I am in a swap, mark that, too. I really go overboard with the colors and stickers and washi for this one. I even add recipes, gift lists, etc. So hubby doesn’t feel left out, I say this planner is by us both, but I’m the one who keeps up with it. My third planner is a tracker/address book thing. Whenever I get a letter or card, I’ll mark it under the person’s in red and an R for receive and when I respond, I use green with a S for send!! It’s a fun way to keep track. Also in there I do the same with Christmas cards or other kinds such as birthday.

I use a physical planner to keep track of when all of my schoolwork is due. Actually writing it down helps to solidify it in my memory, and then using different colored gel pens and stickers to highlight things really helps me to keep track of what’s due and when!

Funny enough I’ve been contemplating going from digital to a physical planner. Something about it being tangible.

I like decorating mine and making it super cute. That way, it doesn’t feel like a chore and I always get my work done on time. But that also leads to me wasting a bit on making my planners looking cute..

My tip is tonoull out all your supplies for other crafts and create a planner that is unique to you. Stamp in it, use due cuts, stickers and washi. Mix it up and have fun!
