My Updated Planner Setup

hey guys welcome back to my channel if this is your first video hi i'm elena and this is the organized money where we talk about planning life and managing money in today's video we are going to be talking about my updated planner setup i'm going to be walking you through my planner and talk about how i'm currently using it but first i wanted to give you an overview of my current system the first notebook that i have on the top here is my daily notebook this is what i am currently using to keep track of all of my daily to-do's all of my daily notes and any daily expenses that happen throughout the course of the day so i will get into this one in another video but i did want to talk about it because it is currently a part of my setup the next notebook i have here is my bullet journal slash memory planning notebook i have shown this one in bits and pieces where i've shown you how i keep my trackers that's like a bullet journal style tracker and my memory planning however i will do a full flip through of this one as well in another video so i'm gonna put these two aside for now and today we are doing a flip through of my planner so these two are more like journal style notebooks this is the only planner i have however there are currently six planners within this one book so i wanted to share with you how i am using every single section in my planner let's go ahead and get started first if you have never seen this planner before it's an eight and a half by 11 disbound planner i have basically put it together the way that i needed it to be set up but this is a happy planner cover that i am currently using and this one was a vertical style planner however i'm using it as a cover for my custom created planner so the top cover is the tool leather cover this one is from happy planner and then when you open up my planner the very first thing that you see is is the planner that i created which is an undated hourly planner for the month of june this is my currently page where i will keep my important dates currently section any goals that i have for the current month and then is my monthly spread and this is just where i have an overview of the entire month after this page it actually goes into my weekly spreads and nothing has changed about this in order to plan my weeks i do like to plan by the hour i will keep my top things that i need to complete top priorities at the very top and then the rest of my day is scheduled by the hour so i have the entire month of june in here and then the very next section is my future dated section my future dated section is basically a printout of all of the months it was a blank calendar to where i just wrote in the month and then wrote in all of the days so that i could plan ahead because in my planner i only have one month since we are currently in the month of june i do have july through december as printouts in this section so that i am able to plan ahead for anything that's coming up i can easily jot it down here so that i don't forget this system has definitely been working for me the very next section is my business section with my business section i am using a happy planner big this is the dashboard happy planner and on my monthly spread i have all of the videos and all of the content that i am planning to put up this month now i don't stick to this schedule all the time however i still like to do it this exact way every single month because it allows me to actually stay ahead on all of the ideas that i have so this is where i list out all of my content and then on my weekly spread i will just basically jot down everything that's coming up for that particular week i will switch up the layout a little bit on my weekly spreads but the overall consistency of how i am using this planner has not changed mainly i am using it to keep track of what i'm filming my scripts what's going on patreon my goals for the week and my statistics and then i will write down in the individual days what videos are planned on being posted that particular day or if i'm supposed to be filming what i am filming on that day and sometimes i will also add a quote which just keeps me encouraged throughout the course of the week so my business planner really hasn't changed like i said i might change where i lay out some of the things like as you can see my statistics was down here last week but this week it's up here but once again it's just the layout that's changed not the actual content that i put on the planner however what is new is the very next section which is my social section so in my business section i am keeping track of all aspects of my business which means my patreon group my courses any client meetings that i might have i'll jot that all down here but in my social section i am only keeping track of what's going up on social media so this is instagram facebook youtube anything that is social media related the very first thing that you see when you open up to this section is my youtube tracker my goal for this year is to hit 100k so i am just keeping track of where i am currently and then the next thing that you'll see in here is my weekly social media posting schedule this is an insert that i created and basically i am keeping track of what i am posting on youtube instagram and any other place that i decide to post and this is kind of where i get messy and i'm just like writing all over the page i'm basically scribble scratching here because i am planning out different things throughout the course of the week so usually what i'll do is i'll add the dates here as you can see i have the dates of each day of the week and then i will write down what i'm posting to instagram what i'm posting to youtube and then anything else that's happening on social media so i've been using this for the past couple of weeks and it has definitely been working out well for me i feel like i'm able to plan a little bit better on this sheet than when i was doing it just in my planner because in my planner i really only have space to write down like one or two places like maybe an instagram post and a youtube post but with this sheet i'm able to easily see what i am posting across the board on like three different platforms for a day of the week if you're interested in this insert i will leave it in the description box but i have really been loving this and i'll show you a blank one just to show you what it looks like basically you can write down any social media page that you have here at the top and then you have monday through saturday i did leave off sunday because i normally rest on a sunday and then i will just write down whatever i am planning on posting in these boxes after these blank sheets i do have some blank note paper here and this is where i can keep track of any scripts that i have for the upcoming week so i just took out the ones that i had from last week but as you can see they'll basically look like this where i will just kind of script out anything that i am planning on filming for the next week whatever points that i may want to make in that video i will just jot them down here and then that way i have an outline and i'm not rambling on camera so usually that will be in here but every week i will usually take it out so that my planner doesn't end up being too bulky and i will only keep the scripts that i am planning on filming for that next upcoming week and then afterwards i will take them out and store them in my other notebook these blank sheets are basically here for next week's schedule whenever i start to script and write down the different things that i want to talk about i'm going to add it here and it's easily accessible because it's in my planner the next section is my budget section and this section has not changed at all this is one that i created this is how we keep track of our money and i have my monthly spread where i have written out all of my bills on my monthly spread and then i have my monthly budget here where i will write it down and anytime i pay a bill i will write it in red so then that way i know that it has cleared our account and i have paid it so i have been using this one throughout the course of the month it has been working for me this has been basically my expense tracker and i will jot down all of the expenses for that upcoming week and then i will highlight them so that i can categorize everything and if you didn't see my video on color coding and how i have been using color coding i will link it above so that you can check that one out as well so nothing has changed with my budget planner the next section is my personal section and this one has been coming in and out of my planner i think in my last planner setup video i had removed the personal section but now it is back within my planner and it's mainly because my kids are at camp and i am trying to keep track of their different activities and i have been using this planner in order to do so so whenever they have something at their camp like family olympics i like to write it down on this calendar so that we are able to keep up and keep track but this planner has been through a bunch of variations this month the very first week i used it only as a to-do list i was just jotting down everything that was coming my way that i needed to do and highlighting it and that worked well for this week but i ended up switching over to my mini notebook in order to keep track of my to-do's so i switched it in the middle of this week as you can see monday and tuesday i was writing to do's but then i decided to switch back on wednesday i didn't write much for this week because this was in the middle of the switch and then this was a full switch i basically have added things that's going on with my family at the very top or any routines that i wanted to do like this was my skincare routine and i was writing down that my kids was going on a swamp tour i have breakfast lunch and dinner written down here it's where i'm just basically keeping track of what i'm eating and then at the bottom i'm keeping track of my workouts my weights basically back to where it was which is health and home related so if i decide to do my hair routine or we have anything going on at home i will put it in this planner and if it's anything health related i will also put it in this planner so this is once again my personal planner it's a vertical style happy planner and i have added it back it was gone for about half of a month and now it's back and i am loving it again the next section is my travel section with my travel section i do have some new inserts that i have added in here to keep track of any upcoming travel that i have so this is my travel itinerary page where i am keeping track of the transportation details hotel or the airbnb and then my flight details will go down here and this is i'm just basically going to write all of this information in on the next page i have my packing list which is my clothing toiletries technology and miscellaneous and then i have a notes section down here this side i have my travel planner which is where i will write down all of the different activities that we are planning to do while we are there at the top i do have the destination and dates here and then i'm going to write in all of the different activities on the next page i am planning out the outfits that i am planning on wearing on the different days of the week while we are there this makes it much easier for me to quickly get dressed get ready because i already know what i'm going to be wearing and then i have my vacation budget so transportation accommodation and food and activities just going to write down how much i am planning on spending on these particular items and then what we actually spent so i do have a couple of trips coming up i am going out of town next week so i am going to write all of these things in for this upcoming trip and if you're interested in this travel download make sure that you check out the description box i will have it linked there as well the next section in my planner is my faith section faith section hasn't changed that much on my monthly spread i have been doing different prayers or quotes like faith quotes that i have found and just writing them on different days of the week and then on my weekly spread i have still been doing the verse of the day so i always get the verse of the day from the you version bible app and i will just write in the different verses and then write down the scripture that i read it from then at the very bottom i'll usually just write a quote or a note to myself the next planner in here is my church planner and this one is what i have been using for church it is a vertical style planner and basically i use it as one big to-do list where i'm jotting down all of the different things that i need to do for church as you guys know i do work for my church and that's going to be the case until july 31st after july 31st me and my husband are starting our own ministry so this planner will transform from my work planner for that church to ours so the the setup will still be the same i'm still going to be using a planner in order stay on top of all of the things that i need to do it will just switch who i'm doing it for the next planner is my commonplace planner so my commonplace planner is one where i am usually talking with you guys and talking about a concept or something that i have recently learned on my monthly spread i have quotes about learning or reading because they inspire me to make sure that i am continuously learning and then on my weekly spread it is usually something that i have just learned or something that i want to talk about in a youtube video and it's more of like a creative journaling spread if you didn't see my video on commonplace notebook like how i use a commonplace notebook i will link that one above as well it goes into a lot of detail on what a commonplace notebook is or what a learning notebook is and how you can use it but this is the only planner that i have in my setup that is not going to be the current month it's just going to be wherever i am in the planner so i'm actually a month behind in this one so we're currently on may even though it's june i'm going to wait until i fully finish this month out and then we're going to move into june and the last section that i have is my project planner so with my project planner this is where i'm keeping track of any projects that i may have a project to me is anything that's going to take me more than two steps to complete and i will write down all of the steps that i need to do in order to get those things done and use this sheet in order to do it if you would like to see how i use this sheet in order to complete projects i will leave that video length above but using these inserts that i created have been super helpful in order to make sure that i stay on top of projects and actually get them done and this is the very last section in my planner believe it or not these are still the classic size disc these are not the expandable disc i was able to get everything that i have in here on the classic size disc and i think it's because i only have one month from each section of my planners and i don't try and push it and do two months like i used to but this is my entire setup and i have been loving it so this is where we are for the month of june y'all let me know in the comments below have you switched up your planner are you switching it up for the month of july this is my setup it's not going anywhere i don't think i have purchased any new planners for the new happy planner release probably gonna wait until the end of the year and just finish out the ones that i have so guys i will see you in my next video and until then keep organizing your life so that you can achieve your dreams bye guys you
