I love this! I’m rediscovering the power of paper as well, I’m currently managing ok out of Asana (that’s just a glorified task list), but love your suggestion on using a 3 year timeframe to get ahead of the school year challenges!

If you’re a planner, one year just isn’t enough sometimes! Hope this method is helpful to you

I use both paper and tech, but my dinner planning is all paper. I've been printing monthly sheets for years, and then store them in page protectors in a binder. Why did I not think of a monthly planner for this? Great idea!

I know! I was doing the same for a long time and just had a lightbulb moment that a notebook was a lot easier than the binder and page protectors and I wondered why it took me so long to think of!

Love! I am a paper girlie through and through (and I work in tech and love tech)! And I'm very stereotypically Type A. The one thing I struggle with is having a space to journal within my planner. I personally don't like to have too many notebooks! I'm still going to check this planner out :)

I’m leaning on both paper and tech these days but I still need to SEE it laid out on one page on paper to get my brain around it. There are some pages and areas for jotting notes here but it’s more of the “summary view” and i keep most details in apps like Todoist for my day to day.

I totally get that! I can relate to seeing the day having whitespace and breathing a little bit :) or maybe knowing what my week looks like at a single glance. My journal also has some areas for jotting notes too! I used to use Todoist years and years ago when I was in school and loved it, but like you said, I do feel like it gets around to me easier on paper.
