I do a calendar year planner but I love reading these to get me started early. LOL. I am more like Dusty this year....I need to start working on myself more...plan some time for me. I am in Post-Menopause era and menopause has kicked my butt the last couple years. I need to get healthier, plan the walks, plan the dinners, meal prep more, all of it. I will start by writing it all down I think.

Writing everything down is a great place to start. You got this, Laura!

I’m excited to be back in a daily planner. I’ve done the weekly for a few years and daily is my safe space. I need the fresh stat everyday and I have the family Google calendar for the weekly overview. With two kiddos in high school now (😳) and one driving (😳😳) I want to focus on making our home feel the way I want. Peaceful, calm, welcoming, ready to have anyone walk in at any time and feel instantly relaxed. I also want to get back to some of my hobbies. Reading has been my only hobby the last two or three years (I’ve read my kindle every single day for over 2 years 🎉) and I want something creative as well. Can’t wait to finish setting up my beautiful blush hydrangea daily!

I’m sorry, boards still not found. But I’m here other boards are VERY inspiring!! 😍

Hi Alicia! So glad you're here! 👏

The vision board links didn't work for me. I got a weird message from Pinterest saying the board had been removed--might just be me!

Team Simplified's avatar

Sorry about that. Should be fixed. Please try again!

I’m still having issues opening any vision board links besides pineapple charm.

Darnecia Campbell's avatar

Same. “Page not found.”

Vanessa Freeman Zerhusen's avatar

Same. The only one I could get to open was Pineapple Charm.

Hi from Orlando, FL! I actually started subscribing to this Substack last year just for Planner Bootcamp, and loved it so much and the content you share, and so I haven’t left!

Love love love using the notes pages as a vision board so thanks for this idea, and for the Pinterest boards to go with it again! (The Berry Stripe and Carolina Trellis are saying “board not found” for me)

I'm so excited to be back in a fresh planner. After last year got completely thrown off course, I'm really hoping to make dedicated time to find some fun as a family with my almost 2yo. I split the bucket list into sections for each season and have been enjoying dreaming up different activities. For my kid that loves all things kitchen and cooking, I can't wait to make holiday cookies with him this year! Now to go collect some magazines so I can make a good old-fashioned vision board collage 🥰

I’m was so excited for planner boot camp this week, (and still am) however I received heavy and sad news today about my dad, since he’s in ICU.

Wondering how does someone process hope for the future and what this year could hold, all while holding grief.

Sorry if this question is heavy.

Laura Busch's avatar

Hi Norma! I’m sorry to hear about your Dad…jumping in to share one things that’s helped me….its OK to feel two emotions at once. You can grieve for your Dad while still holding hope for the future. Also, give yourself some grace and time to grieve since you just found out about this news today. 🩷

Hi!! 👏 The inspo board I made last year is still one of my fav things to look at on my phone wallpaper. I actually feel like it helped me focus through out the year on what matters most. I’m excited to make a new one for this year.
