Do you guys keep planners? Do you buy something premade or do you keep your own in journal or bullet journal form?
Tonight I'm sitting with my mother in law. She had a double bypass a week ago and we try to have someone with her all the time to help her. I wasn't able to do it until tonight because of my husbands and mine work schedule plus the kids. My mother in law was our babysitter!
But I'm sitting here with my bullet journal stuff, about to draw my habit tracker and weekly planners for November.
I like Bullet journals in that I can keep running lists in them. I keep a habit tracker (though I don't update it as often as I should) and I have my days of the week listed out. I have a list of books I want to read in there, and a list of my passwords. Birthdays are in there and so many other things.
But as much as I love it for its tracker/listing uniquness, I also get very tired of having to draw out my weekly layouts.
I did buy a Happy Planner that starts in January. I don't want to leave my BuJo, but I don't want to draw weeklies so I thought maybe I could combine the Happy Planner WITH my BuJo.
I don't know, I'll see what happens when it happens.

It is a band of planner by the company Me and My Big Ideas (MAMBI).
It is a disc bound planner that you can remove pages or add them in (if you get a disc hole punch that fits...which I do have). They have different spreads but usually have a month at a glance and then each week on 2 pages divided into 3's. I would share a photo but I don't have mine with me....its at my house.
They have themed planner too, like for teachers and students and fitness.

I have a journal, but no entries yet except for my passwords in different site. Also some important ID numbers.

@nonersays that's work for you then,... well, I have to relax and go somewhere to reduce stress like visit my friend's house, beach or vacation.

I have never heard of a bullet journal!
I can't imagine limiting what I do down to times I can or can't read. With kids that just seems to stressful!
I do keep a perpetual wood calendar I partially made. So I plan girls days, holidays, School vacations etc on. That's as close to planning days ahead of time...that I really get!
