The Ultimate Guide to a Functional Planner Setup: Your Roadmap to Organized and Productive Living

The Ultimate Guide to a Functional Planner Setup: Your Roadmap to Organized and Productive Living

Welcome to the ultimate guide to setting up your planner according to the Functional Planning Methodology. In today’s training, we will explore the key questions that often arise when configuring your planner for maximum efficiency. Let’s dive in and unravel the secrets to a functional planner setup!

How Many Planners Should I Use?

The simplicity of the answer might surprise you: one planner is all you need. While it might be tempting to follow influencers who flaunt stacks of planners, the reality is far more straightforward. Using multiple planners can scatter your information, making synchronization a challenge. There are exceptions, such as separating work and personal life or using planners for unique purposes like memory keeping. However, the core principle remains: one planner for one organized life.

Which Style of Planner Should I Choose?

Choosing a planner style involves considering bindings, sizes, and closures. Four binding styles exist: Rings, Discs, Spiral, and Book Bound. Customizable binders like rings or discs offer flexibility, enabling you to tailor your planner to match your needs seamlessly. Sizes typically range from full size (US Letter/A4) to half size (Half Letter/A5) to personal size (A6), each catering to different preferences and requirements. Closure options, including zip, button, elastic strap, or no closure, add another layer of personalization to your planner.

Which Inserts Should I Choose to Make My Planner Setup Functional?

To ensure your planner serves its purpose effectively, focus on three crucial phases: capturing information, defining strategic objectives, and tracking and allocating work. For capturing information, consider inserts like brain-dump, brainstorm, inbox, and note-taking. Define strategic objectives using inserts like vision board, annual goals, yearly project matrix, project tracker, and project plans. For tracking and allocating work, opt for inserts such as year at a glance calendar, month on one/two-page layouts, and week/day on one/two-page layouts.

Optional Inserts and Additional Information:

– Address and contact inserts

– Business planning inserts

– Financial planning inserts

– List-making inserts

– Meal planning inserts

– Meeting notes inserts

– Mindset and journaling inserts

– Password log

– Workflow trackers

– Activity, community, school, and work calendars

– Commonly referenced information

How Should I Organize My Planner Tabs and Sections?

The organization of your planner sections is a personal choice, designed to enhance your productivity. Consider arranging your planner based on the three functional planning phases. Starting with tracking and allocating work, move on to defining strategic objectives, and conclude with capturing information. Remember, the goal is quick access and ease of use, so customize your planner’s sections according to your unique needs.

In conclusion, your planner’s functionality is determined by the inserts within, not the superficial aspects like its binding or closure. Stick to what works for you, and don’t succumb to “shiny object syndrome” by frequently changing planners. The power of a functional planner lies in its ability to simplify your life, so choose wisely, customize thoughtfully, and watch your productivity soar.

Feel free to revisit this guide as often as needed, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. Here’s to a year of organized living and unparalleled productivity!

Designing Your Ideal Daily Routine: Cultivating Balance and Bliss in Q4

Hello, Amazing Community!

As the crisp autumn air ushers in the season of change, it’s the perfect time to craft your Ideal Daily Routine. Think of it as the art of orchestrating your day, where every moment is purposefully designed to bring you balance, joy, and a sense of fulfillment. Today, let’s embark on the journey of creating your personalized daily routine for Fall and Q4, aligning your days with your aspirations and the magic of the season.

What Does Your Ideal Daily Routine Look Like in Q4?

You know that not every day can work out perfectly no matter how well you plan for it, but in order for more of your days to flow with ease and intention, it’s up to you to know exactly what your ideal day should look like. Your Ideal Daily Routine serves as your sanctuary, a day-in, day-out blueprint that embodies your aspirations and values, where you make time in your day for your essentials and momentum builders. Let’s delve into creating your perfect daily routine for Q4:

1. Define Your Core Time Slots

   – Wake/Sleep: Establish consistent wake-up and bedtime hours, ensuring you get the rejuvenating sleep you need.

   – Morning Routine: Dedicate time for mindful practices like meditation, journaling, or exercise to set a positive tone for your day.

   – Work Day Routine: Structure your work hours, allowing for focused work, breaks, and moments of creativity.

   – Evening Routine: Wind down with calming activities such as reading, gentle stretching, or gratitude practices to prepare for restful sleep.

   – Daily Hygiene and Self-Care: Allocate time for personal care rituals, ensuring you feel refreshed and confident throughout the day.

   – Meals: Plan nourishing meals and savor each bite mindfully, appreciating the flavors and the energy they provide.

   – Chores: Set aside time for household chores, organizing your environment for a sense of calm.

   – Family Time: Carve out moments for quality interactions with your loved ones, fostering connection and love.

   – Daily Goal-Related Habits: Incorporate habits aligned with your goals, dedicating time each day for progress and growth.

   – Daily Seasonal Habits: Embrace fall-specific activities like cozy reading sessions, nature walks, or indulging in warm beverages.

2. List Out Your Ideal Daily Routine Hour by Hour. Here’s an example routine for you to consider:

   – 6:00 AM – Wake Up: Begin the day with hydration, a gratitude practice and morning stretches.

   – 7:00 AM – Morning Routine: Journaling, meditation, and a nourishing breakfast.

   – 9:00 AM – Work Day Routine: Engage in focused work tasks, with short breaks for relaxation.

   – 1:00 PM – Lunch: Enjoy a wholesome meal and a short walk outdoors for fresh air.

   – 2:00 PM – Afternoon Work: Resume work tasks, incorporating creative brainstorming sessions.

   – 5:30 PM – Evening Routine: A short workout, preparing a delicious dinner and tidying.

   – 7:00 PM – Family Time: Engage in meaningful conversations, play games, or enjoy a family outing.

   – 9:00 PM – Nighttime Rituals: Skincare routine, gratitude journaling, and unwinding activities.

   – 10:00 PM – Wind Down: Disconnect from screens, practice deep breathing, and prepare for restful sleep.

Creating your Ideal Daily Routine is a transformative act of self-love. It’s not about rigidity but about honoring your needs and desires. By structuring your days intentionally, you’re inviting balance and joy into every moment.

Here’s to a Q4 filled with purposeful days, deep connections, and the pure bliss of a well-designed routine.

Crafting Your Ideal Weekly Schedule: Embracing Balance and Joy in Q4

Hello, Wonderful Community!

As the vibrant hues of fall paint the world, it’s the perfect time to embrace the rhythm of the season and create your Ideal Weekly Schedule. This carefully curated plan acts as your compass, guiding you through the bustling days of Q4 with grace, purpose, and joy. Let’s explore how to craft your personalized weekly schedule, ensuring that you have time for everything that matters during this vibrant season.

What Does Your Ideal Weekly Schedule Look Like in Q4?

Your Ideal Weekly Schedule is your tailored roadmap through the week. A busy woman like you knows you can’t get it all done in the 24 hours of a single day, but you have plenty of time when you map your work across the 168 hours of a week. That is the purpose of the Ideal Weekly Schedule. It’s a blend of routine and spontaneity, carefully designed to accommodate your responsibilities, passions, and seasonal delights. Here’s how you can craft your own Ideal Weekly Schedule for Q4:

1. Define Your Regular Time Blocks

   – Wake/Sleep: Set consistent wake-up and bedtime routines to ensure you get enough rest.

   – Daily Routine: Allocate time for morning rituals, exercise, and any other routines that ground your day.

   – Work: Dedicate specific hours for work-related tasks and projects.

   – Self-Care: Schedule self-care activities like meditation, exercise, or hobbies that bring you joy.

   – Meals: Plan regular meal times, allowing space for nourishing your body and enjoying your food mindfully.

   – Chores: Allocate time for household chores and maintenance tasks.

   – Shopping/Errands: Set aside time for grocery shopping and other essential errands.

   – Meal Planning & Prep: Dedicate time for planning meals and prepping ingredients for the week.

   – Family Time: Carve out moments for quality time with family, creating cherished memories together.

2. Include Focused Goal Work

   – Identify specific goals you want to achieve in Q4.

   – Allocate focused time blocks in your schedule for working toward these goals, ensuring consistent progress.

3. Embrace Seasonal Activities

   – Dedicate time for fall-inspired activities such as apple picking, pumpkin carving, or cozy movie nights.

   – Plan outings to enjoy the beauty of autumn, like hikes in colorful forests or visits to local fall festivals.

4. Balance and Adjust

   – Regularly assess your schedule. Is it bringing you balance and fulfillment?

   – Be flexible. Life is dynamic, and your schedule should adapt to unexpected events or changing priorities.

5. Embrace the Joy of Balance

   – Remember, your Ideal Weekly Schedule isn’t about squeezing every moment full; it’s about creating a harmonious blend of work, play, and relaxation.

   – Prioritize activities that bring you joy, fulfillment, and a sense of connection.

Embracing Your Ideal Weekly Schedule

Creating your Ideal Weekly Schedule is an act of self-care and intention. It’s a tool that empowers you to embrace the richness of Q4 without feeling overwhelmed. By consciously crafting a schedule that aligns with your values and aspirations, you’ll find balance, joy, and the freedom to savor every moment of this vibrant season.

Here’s to a fall season filled with purpose, presence, and the pure delight of a well-balanced life.

With Warmth and Excitement,

Founder, Strange & Charmed 🍁✨

Fall Braindump: Harvesting Ideas and Memories for a Memorable Q4

Hello, Amazing Community!

As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisper, it’s time to harness the power of a Fall Braindump. Think of it as a mental harvest, a process where you gather all your ideas, dreams, and plans and lay them out on paper. This simple activity can transform your Q4, helping you make better plans and unforgettable memories during this vibrant season.

What is a Fall Braindump and Why is it Essential?

A Fall Braindump is your ticket to a more organized, intentional, and joyful season. It’s a creative process of getting all your thoughts and aspirations out of your head and onto paper. By doing so, you create a visual roadmap, ensuring that no wonderful idea gets lost amidst the hustle and bustle of autumn and winter.

How Will a Fall Braindump Improve Your Q4?

1. Clarity and Focus: Writing down your ideas brings clarity. It helps you visualize what you truly want to experience and achieve in the upcoming months. It acts as a guiding light, focusing your attention on what matters most.

2. Efficient Planning: When your ideas are on paper, planning becomes efficient. You can organize your thoughts into actionable steps, making it easier to schedule activities, events, and moments with loved ones.

3. Preventing Overwhelm: Q4 often comes with a flurry of activities. A Fall Braindump ensures you don’t miss out on anything important. By organizing your thoughts, you can prioritize what truly matters and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

4. Creating Lasting Memories: By brainstorming seasonal activities and events, you’re setting the stage for memorable experiences. It’s not just about checking off tasks; it’s about crafting moments that will be cherished for years to come.

  • Events for your children

3. Organize your thoughts into categories – events, activities, family, self-care, etc.

4. Create a timeline for each activity or event, marking specific dates and times.

5. Prioritize your list based on what aligns best with your goals and desires for the season.

DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH PLANNING, TIME MANAGEMENT AND PERSONAL ORGANIZATION?

IF YOUR PLANNER ISNT MAKING YOU MORE PRODUCTIVE, IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S THE PLANNER!
Most planners are just paper based reminder systems that help you recall tasks and appointments. All you get with most planners are a yearly calendar meant for referencing dates, monthly boxed spreads to schedule in appointments and events, and weekly or daily inserts where you can create a to-do list and schedule for the day.These planners don’t improve your productivity because the system isn’t built to help you truly plan, instead, this system of inserts is meant to help you record dates and tasks. It’s a reminder system, not a planner! We all have more to do than time to get it done in a day, so although reminders are nice so we don’t forget important things to do that could cause us issues in the future, what we actually need to become more productive, efficient and successful in our lives is a planner that actually functions as a planner. I call this a Functional Planner.

WHAT MAKES A PLANNER FUNCTIONAL?

A functional planner must give you the ability to get your thoughts and ideas out of your head and onto paper so you can organize and act on that information.

A functional planner must give you the ability to organize your work into strategic objectives that can be tracked as project plans, routines or habits.

A functional planner must give you the ability to allocate and assign your tasks into your schedule so you see exactly what you need to do and when to do it, to accomplish your plans.

IMAGINE USING A PLANNER WITH THE RIGHT SYSTEM OF INSERTS INSIDE TO MAKE YOU MORE PRODUCTIVE AS YOU USED IT?
This isn’t wishful thinking.

Since 2015, I have been refining a functional planner design that uses research backed time, task and personal energy management strategy alongside cutting edge neurological science.

The result is a first of it’s kind functional planner with a system of inserts designed to help you clear your mind, organize your objectives strategically, and manage your time and tasks so you can finally be and feel like the most productive and organized version of yourself!

INTRODUCING THE CHARMED LIFE MASTER PLANNER
ONE LIFE. ONE YEAR. ONE MASTER PLAN. 

WHAT’S INSIDE?

Why Your Planner Isn’t Making You More Productive

Why Your Planner Isn’t Making You More Productive

Have you ever purchased a planner thinking that it would help you get more organized and in control of your life, tasks and time, but then after setting it up exactly as you wanted it and filling it out with the details of your life, things didn’t change much?

Sure, the planner helped you remember more things you had to do which was good, but it didn’t make doing the tasks easier or quicker or make you more efficient so you had extra time left over. You had just as much to do, and the same amount of time to do it in, and so your productivity really didn’t change much. 

Unfortunately, that is what happens for most women when they purchase a planner.

You see, a planner can be a tremendous tool to help you improve your productivity, achieve your goals and find more time for the things you love, but unfortunately most planners don’t include the right system of inserts to help you manage and organize your life. 

Now, I realize that there are so many options out there in the market for you to purchase a planner, but I want you to ask yourself a question: Are there actually so many unique options, or are there a handful of the same types of planners just in different packaging?

When it comes to choosing a planner for yourself, the options are seemingly endless. 

→ You can buy a planner in nearly every size of paper you can imagine.

→ You can buy a planner in every binding option that technology allows.

→ You can buy a planner in your favorite color, pattern, fabric, personalized with your name, refillable or disposable. 

You are drowning in a sea of options, or so it seems on the surface.

If you take some time to break open most of the options out there, you’ll come to find that although many planners seem to be different because they look different on the outside, once you get inside, everything is the same but in different packaging. This is the illusion of choice brought to you by the genius of marketing, selling you the same old planner in pretty new packaging.

Most planners you can purchase on the market follow the same old, outdated system of inserts that aren’t actually helping you to become more organized or strategic with your time and tasks.

Most planners are set up for one end goal: To help you remember the never ending list of things you need to do and places you need to be.

This is what you will commonly see inside the vast majority of planners:

  • A year at a glance calendar of all the months and dates, perhaps for one to two years
  • Calendar style monthly spreads for each month of the year where you can record an important date or two in each box
  • A weekly or daily spread where you can record some tasks and create a schedule for your day
  • A few contacts and notes pages at the end

Flip through some of the planners in your stash, head down to your local office supply store or browse some planner options online, and that is the system you see over and over again inside what appears to be a variety of planners from a variety of brands.

These planners don’t improve your productivity because the system isn’t built to help you truly plan, instead, this system of inserts is meant to help you record dates and tasks. It’s a reminder system, not a planner!

We all have more to do than time to get it done in a day, so although reminders are nice so we don’t forget important things to do that could cause us issues in the future, what we actually need to become more productive, efficient and successful in our lives is a planner that actually functions as a planner.

I call this a Functional Planner.

Functional because it helps you get everything you need and want to do out of your head and onto paper so you can organize that information strategically, and then schedule and track your work to it’s successful completion.

Functional planning is based on research backed time, task and personal energy management strategy. Plus, it incorporates actual neuroscience so that as you follow through with functional planning techniques, you are actually training your brain to think more productively and strategically about your tasks and how you spend your time.

For years, I have been obsessed with the idea of Functional Planning and sharing my journey as I research, design and create functional planning tools to help you create the strategic plan for your life.

The culmination of this work is my signature Functional Planner known as the Charmed Life Master Planner.

I created the first iterations of the Charmed Life Master Planner back in 2015 and every year since I have evolved the design to incorporate the newest research and technology so that your planner becomes the single greatest tool in living your best life.
