Perfect ideas to help me through all of this and to cherish all of our memories, and to also gift our two daughters. <br />Lynn Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121601159151533469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-57352200602933308352020-01-09T20:26:14.900-05:002020-01-09T20:26:14.900-05:00I use spiral note books as my planners, quilt prog...I use spiral note books as my planners, quilt progress, reference of when I was inspired to make … and when I finished. I can draw a quilt with the lines on the paper as part of the blocks and know what I'm going to do. How many blocks I need, what fabric I think i'll use, etc. QuiltGranmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225951118220180796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-40447873070202476562020-01-09T06:04:37.605-05:002020-01-09T06:04:37.605-05:00Both of these planners look lovely!

I find that I write quite a bit in the planner in January. Then, as the year goes on, real life happens and the stuff I wrote in the planner does not get done (in the time I had anticipated). What works for me is to just record when I started a project....keep notes of new techniques/shortcuts I may discover during the process...and then record when it's complete. If I ever get to designing my own quilts...I'll probably just buy a sketch book...lol! Good luck with staying organized! Organization is truly the center of simplifying! :-)moosecrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309739222008330155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-34795497719387049702020-01-07T19:35:12.541-05:002020-01-07T19:35:12.541-05:00I don't use a planner per say, but a journal o...I don't use a planner per say, but a journal of sorts that I made myself. I blogged about mine last week. I need to tweak it a bit, however that's what I like about doing it myself. I can customize it on the fly. 😊If it doesn't work, I am not out anything. I can use my notebook for something else. Lori Holt sure does create cute things!Amy, a redeemed sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324661637036868565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-32656016386771839802020-01-07T18:05:50.413-05:002020-01-07T18:05:50.413-05:00I have that LOri Holt planner too: I like that it...I have that LOri Holt planner too: I like that it doesn't have the dates written in, because I've been using it for several years now (can you say "long breaks from planning?")!! I like it but I find the lines for writing in my tasks for the day are just too short: I need to write a longer description for my taskes! but I love the book for the quilt planning area and the quilt patterns and inspiration. And I'm sorry to see your bag that has to do with your new diet! Good luck, and I hope you will feel healthier and better this year!

I have been watching Pat Sloan's promoting of using a planner and Lori Holt's looks like the most interesting one.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-1196124900792117322020-01-06T16:31:47.892-05:002020-01-06T16:31:47.892-05:00I've tried using planners. . . and keeping tra...I've tried using planners. . . and keeping track of the amount of time I sew. . .and probably every other "productivity" idea out there.<br /><br />They don't work for me.<br /><br />If I took the time to keep track of everything that I was doing I wouldn't get anything done because I would be busy keeping track! LOL<br /><br />So, what I have tried to do instead is to focus on one or two projects at a time, ok, well maybe three if I am listening to an audio book at lunch and want to crochet. This way at least things are moving a long, but I am not driving myself crazy like I used to with trying to juggle too many projects at once.<br /><br />What I am hoping will help me is linking up with One Monthly Goal (OMG) and keeping track of the number of blocks I make a month.<br /><br />Good luck with using your planners. . . .I'll be watching to see if maybe there is a way for me to work with them.<br /><br />Have a lovely day.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11615766893549743938noreply@blogger.com
