Planner Possibilities: Using Any Planning System on Any Planner Page

There are so many planner page layouts available, from those from Filofax and Franklin Covey, to those like DIY Fish and The Happy Planner.

There are just as many planner systems. From my own Giftie Etcetera system to Getting Things Done to the 7 Habits, people are forever creating and tweaking methods for organizing our appointments, tasks, and goals.

Newsflash - your system of choice does NOT have to match your planner pages perfectly.

I usually show examples of my own system, but for today's purposes, notice the standard Franklin Covey 2 pages per day format.

Instead of using the 7 Habits system (with priorities like 3A or 1B), I am using a combination of Getting Things Done (with context-based task lists and tasks written with a verb at the beginning word) and the Giftie Etcetera scheduling system. I'm using parts of the page to record calories and part to plan dinner.

The point is that your system does not have to match your pages. Decide which pages work for you. Decide which system, with adaptations as needed, works for you.

That is the way you should plan! It doesn't have to be all or nothing. In fact, if you stick to all or nothing, you'll soon find out that no one system works, even on its custom-made pages.

Etcetera.
