Spacious Planning
Design your planning system
Most of us don't find our favourite planner or perfect system on the first try. However, constantly hopping from planner to planner gets expensive (and frustrating).
To find the planning system that supports your life, you need to:
- Be intentional: really stop and think through what you need and why you need it.
- Experiment: find a cheap, easy way to try out layouts and systems.
That's what this post is all about: a guide to help you discover your planning system. You'll try out a series of methods and layouts, starting with the most basic: a todo list. As you go, you'll reflect on your experience, and by the end you'll be closer to understanding what you need from your planning system right now.
