Hi Reader,
For almost two years, I spent over $100 a year on a planner.
Sure, I could call it "research" and make it a business expense, but still. Was it really worth the money and the hype?
I did use it more consistently than I'd used many things in the past, partly because I invested more money into it, so why not also invest the time?
In the end, I realized it was the consistent time, not the fancy paper and beautiful binding that was making the difference.
Also, they stopped making purple. ☹️
Obviously, it was time to stop shelling out as a way to commit myself and instead just keep the habits.
Since then, I've used at least half a dozen layouts and options.
Honestly, switching things out and experimenting hasn't been a problem. No matter what the current week's option is, I go through the same process and write down the same elements.
Doing it, writing it out, makes the difference.
Switching things up is only a problem if you make it one in your head OR if you're switching things up as an excuse to not be committed.
