Get your coffee and notepad ready.

Hello!

Jumping into your inbox this Sunday to share some exciting news.

Ready?

Last Friday night…

While many of you were dining out, going to a movie, having drinks with friends, at a sporting event, or watching Dateline…

I sat down at my computer to order my new planner.

(In other words, let me tell you I’m a 🤓nerd without telling you I’m a nerd.)

Normally I wait until the end of December to do this.

But here’s the deal. I couldn’t take using my current planner for another day. I’ll tell you why a bit later.

So, not only did I shop for a planner in October, I also shopped for an undated planner.

Because I knew I needed a new planner and I needed it ASAP.

Of course I wondered, “Would it be okay energetically speaking, to start a new planner in November?”

Whoa! 🤯 Does this newsletter go in depth on nerdy topics like buying planners? I want more of this. I’m subscribing. This gal knows how to have a good time. 🤓

I mean… was I rushing things? Defeating the purpose of a new year, new planner, clean slate?

Further, I feared this might be the equivalent of opening a Christmas present before Christmas and then sitting there on Christmas morning with nothing to open. Would I miss the joy of cracking open a new planner on January 1?

If you think I’m spending way too much time thinking about this, you might not be wrong.

But, if you love planners and paper products and planning like I do, you understand.

So in this special Sunday read, I’m going to talk about planners. And organizing. And what you can do to wind down 2024 in the best way possible - regardless of when you crack open a new date book.

Enough with the intro. Let’s take a look at my old planner and the new one that’ll take its place.
