How to Planner

Hey yo,
Welcome back to my blog, with today's post on...
Planners!
The first part of this multi-part post is how to use them (multi-parts to keep you guys interested)!
Anyway, here we go! Grab your supplies:
A Planner -

Some Super Fun Pens -

WASHI TAPE -

Color Coding Key Items -

And your Schedule of items -

Once you have all of these things, you can start planning! I like to have separate planners, One for Life and School, and one for Work. My first one is my Life and School planner, so I'll show you how to work with this one.
Step 1: Color coding is the only way to go
You need to have a key, not only for your planner's sanity but for your own too! Here is what my key looks like:

Just make sure you have a color for work, life, and school, and then more within the genres as you please.
Step 2: Decorate like there is no tomorrow
Grab that washi tape and go to town! Sticker it, stamp it, then smile at all your hard work!
Here is a really simple example of what I did with mine:

Step 3: Schedule your items
Grab that list of things you need to do and write down all your bills, appointments, and meetings you need to go to. Make sure to update your planner as you get things to do, otherwise, you will end up halfway through the year not using it.
And that's it for now! Until next week.
