2023 Calendar Launch

Blog: 2023 Calendar Launch - Live 9/27/22 Hey hey hey. It’s been a while. Welcome to my blog. I was gifted a box of the newest Erin Conden products from the Softbound 2023 launch. Today, I’m going to talk about those items and give my honest opinion about the products. If you’re curious about the softbounds, stay tuned!  The first product is the In Bloom Softbound Hourly planner. The softbound hourly is a beautiful, professional planner. This planner is great for those who need a lot of structure in their planner. The color scheme is incredibly calming and pastel oriented. This color scheme is definitely not the regular EC color scheme, so be aware when you’re shopping for stickers or accessories. Handdrawn florals are featured on most of the pages of this planner. There are different flowers featured in each month of the planner. The In Bloom Softbound is a bit bigger than the typical lifeplanner, however it doesn’t take up a massive amount of space on a desk. It is also a lit...

A Sunday in our home

  Sunday Reset.  I’ve seen so many videos about people’s Sunday reset routines. I figured it would be a great time to talk about mine. I don’t think Sunday needs to be a complicated day of the week. Sunday should be a time to get ready for the week ahead, but also a day to enjoy the moment and take care of yourself. It’s a balancing act. Our Sunday routine covers 5 big routines within our Sunday routine. Don’t let this intimidate you. Sunday routines help us mitigate any effects of the “Sunday scaries.” Let’s chat through what a Sunday in the Lee household looks like!  I’m sure you wouldn’t be surprised that planning is at the top of our list for our Sunday routines. My husband and I make it a big priority on Sundays to sit down and just think through the week. Most of the time, my planner is already filled out, but this is a chance for us to update each other on what’s going on in our lives. We use a template created by Lauren (@planwithlaur on instagram). We love this t...

Routines. Routines. Routines.

 I am a creature of habit. I love habits and routines. I know that probably sounds crazy to most people, but it's just who I am. Monday mornings, I typically sit and drink my coffee in the same spot most mornings. I spend most of my time (outside of work) with the same 3 people. I believe in deep friendships and quality time. I believe in intentionality and in real life relationships with people. However, if I get too caught in a routine, sometimes I need a break and I need spontaneous adventure. This summer has taught me that I really don't need a lot of spontaneous adventure though. The season I'm in right now needs consistency and calm.  Routine has almost become a buzz word in the planner community. Everyone's plan with me's on youtube seemed to include a spot for their AM Routine and their PM Routine. Am I wrong? I sat for so long thinking that I was less than, because we didn't have intense, down to the minute elaborate morning and evening routines. So I s...

Structure your month with me

I know August basically just started, but I'm already looking ahead to big picture things for September! Around halfway through the month, I start taking a look and preplanning the month ahead. Since I now have this blog (and my YouTube), I figured I'd take y'all along for the journey and through my process.  So the first thing I start with is goal setting. Over the past year, I've been really honing in on my goals. I've been setting goals that feel appropriate to my season. I use the MakseLife system for this purpose. My digital goals planner has been an absolute game changer within my planner lineup. As I sit down to plan, the initial step is reviewing my annual goals. I look into whether they still feel realistic, whether they feel reasonable, or if they need some adjusting (or even just cutting certain things). One of my biggest goals for this year was to run a half marathon in December. Honestly, I don't think it's going to happen at this point. It brea...

It's Back to School time!

Let me set the scene…  You see a young girl in the school supplies aisle. She’s meticulously picking out notebooks and pencils for the new year. She stares at the binders contemplating which ones match perfectly with the notebooks. She continues down the aisles noting all of the options before making her decisions. At this moment, these decisions seem… massive.  As a kid, I loved school supply shopping. I was always so excited to find the PERFECT supplies. In my small town, there weren’t always a ton of options, but my family made sure I had everything I needed. However, when I went to college, I learned school shopping was on me. Don’t worry, my quest for the perfect supplies never stopped.  College school shopping opened my eyes to a lot of things, including the importance of a planner. I went to Target and grabbed the first planner I saw. I started with a beautiful black stripe Day Designer Daily. As I went through college, I ended up switching to my current system: th...

Introduction

 Well howdy!  Welcome to my little corner of the internet. My name is Johnna. I'm the content creator behind @anaggiewithaplan.  As you can probably gather, I'm a loud and proud Fightin' Texas Aggie. (Texas A&M class of 2018) I have a passion for planners, organization and helping people get the tools they need to be successful in this ever changing world.  As of August 2022, I currently am using a few different systems. I'm using an Erin Condren vertical, compact vertical and a daily planner. I'm also a huge fan of my MakseLife digital system.  This blog is going to be a place for me to talk about what's working/not working in my planner life, tips/tricks I stumble upon as well as my personal favorite things. I also talk a lot about goal setting and handling grief.  I'm hoping to post here around once a week, so feel free to send me suggestions or ideas that you want to see me cover.  So stick with me. This is going to be a fun journey.
