4. Color-Coding Stickers

You'll also want to start cutting out inspirational words and images from your favorite magazines or newspapers, even your Pinterest board. Think vision board ... 👀

We want this week to serve you. To help you move from “where do I even start?” to “I’ve got this.” So tell us—where do you usually get stuck? Is it setting goals you’ll actually stick to? Building sustainable routines? Figuring out how to schedule real life with order and joy? Or maybe it’s just the follow-through of keeping your Planner open and useful beyond the first few weeks of the year. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it. Drop your questions, struggles, or even best Planner practices in the comments. We’re reading every single one to build Bootcamp around you.

We can’t wait to kick things off with you. So pack those pouches, campers, and meet us back here July 28. It’s going to be good.
