Ep #230: Setting Up My 2025 Planner Sidekick + December Q&A

December 25, 2024

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!! I realized I forgot to post show notes Monday, so here they are!! I hope everyone reading/listening is having a wonderful week, whether you are celebrating with family or hopefully getting some rest from work.


Show Notes

In today’s episode, I go through my setup of my 2025 Goals/Lists planner, a Hobonichi Weeks Mega I will use for tracking and various collections. Then, I answer additional questions sent in the past month.

Topics discussed:

  • Request for planner shop recs around the world + recommendation of Good Postage in Charlotte, NC
  • Ways to track continuing education data + resources – I recommend going digital for this using a tool like Apple Notes, OneNote, or Notion
  • Listener tip: a Taylor Swift-inspired planner!? Meet the Mastermind!
  • Another listener’s take on Quintiles – the Sextile system! (6 seasons of the year!)
  • Planner matchmaking request for a small dated daily planner. Ideas included the Hobonichi A6, Take A Note, Sterling Ink 2025 Daily, Midori Hibino (small but CHUNKY), Leuchtturm Daily in Pocket A6, or dating a Stalogy 365 notebook

    I think I might have been the listener who asked about how you are using the Weeks in 2025- thanks for the detailed explanation. Looking forward to your goals episode next week!
