"Capitalzie on a fresh start - Use a planner!" This feels like it should be common sense, but it's not! So many people think they can reach a goal without a solid plan. A written plan , specifically!
Intentions can only become actions if we understand the areas we need support, where our weakness and strengths lay, and then have a plan to address those things as we go along.
A planner may not be everyones cup of tea, but its definitely a tool worthy of learning how to use...
I looooovvvveee a hardcover planner and yours looks beautiful!
I can tell it would be so useful and helpful for covering so many topics. Great job!
I personally haven’t yet found the perfect planner so i started a digital planner using GoodNotes on my iPad. I download digital versions of different planners and mix and match my favorite part from each of them. Some days, a simple to do list works for me, other days i need an hourly breakdown. So a digital planner gives me the flexibility to add the page that i need on that specific day. It is also so much easier to move things around. I loved my erasable pens but the convenience of digitally moving things around is great!
that's a great way to build a perfect planner!
Plan a CEO day and brainstorm ideas for 2022! We are ALL the CEO's of our own lives (not just of small businesses)! Excellent advice Aja! I love using a physical planner and also created my own when I couldn't find one to work for my lifestyle.
love that. We're all CEO's of our own lives. I feel like that should be a line in a romantic comedy
I use a bullet journal and what a lot of people don't know is that the creator of The Bullet Journal Method, Ryder Carroll, created the most minimalist method. To start, all you need is a notebook and a pen.
I really appreciate that Ryder's original method really is "mindfulness disguised as productivity".
Always love the outfits you wear in these videos. It's such a small gesture but your staging in background and use of color speaks to your professionalism + creativity! Thank you so much for showing up! It's inspiring to me and I'm sure more of your views :)
thanks!
This couldnt have come at a more perfect time. Ive recently transitioned into actual adult life, working a pretty busy full-time job, starting to pay off loans, & wanting to schedule in time for the gym & hobbies. I had been considering looking for a planner for about a week now & this is definitely my sign🙏🏼 thank you!!!
Re: structuring to-do lists, I recently heard about putting the one most important thing that you need to do underneath the date. After you finish that one thing, you can cross it off and add the next task that you need to work on. So if you find one long to-do list (or even a list of 3 tasks) to be intimidating/overwhelming or if you get distracted by all of the other tasks on your list, this might help you focus and make progress one task at a time. Might be super obvious to some, but it was helpful for me to hear!
So excited for this!! And I agree planners truly work their magic when you’re consistent 👌🏾
Loved this video and definitely want to see more goal videos as we start prepping for 2022! I mainly use YNAB but my goal for the end of this is how to optimize using both your planning and YNAB together.
I’ve been using passion planner for a couple of years now and I really like it
But since I am getting older and have been writing my finance goals just on a white board I decided to buy your planner so everything can be in one place. I’m super excited to try it!
It has lots of things I am looking for in a planner!
Just ordered your planner :) THANKS!
Another fantastic video. Thank you!
Yes to more of these!
Excited to buy it for 2022 and try it out! I have been following you since your Maxim magazine days and super proud of you
Thank you!
I ordered the MSTRPLN Budget Planner 2022-2023 just now. Your videos have helped me so much these past few years. Thank you Aja!
oh yay! Thank you!
Just got my mstrpln planner yesterday! Excited for this video!
hope you love it!
Thank you for showing your unused planners!! I’ve felt so guilty about the ones I’ve bought over the last couple of years and haven’t used. Idk why but it makes me feel like I’ve failed at something.
Not at all! Planners are usually tailored for a certain kind of person. You just need to find a planner the fits your needs! I keep unused planners to use as scrap paper
i use a bullet journal system and i love it bc it's equal parts planner and journal!
1) i have a small planner booklet with a yearly overview and then it's broken down by week. it's where i put down dates/events and daily to-dos! i'll add floating tasks that need to be done that week but are flexible so when I find pockets of free time, i'll do em.
2) i use a midori dotted notebook for a journal / habit tracker. each weekly spread has doodles and entries and clippings of places I visit/things I did. i have a month overview page where i track my habits and then do monthly check-ins (like health issues, bigger trends i notice, etc) and then i have a page where i print pictures from the month ^^
3) i also have different types of mini-sketchbooks! one with toned paper, one for dry media and one for wet media. i'll usually switch between them depending on my needs.
all three are contained in a roterfaden leather cover that has pockets/pouches and 3 spine clips (to hold up to three notebooks) so it's very modular/customizable! i'm constantly evaluating what parts of the system do and don't work for me and i love looking back on older bujos so the fact that you have a BOX of older/used/partly-used journals/planners is sooo cool! esp while you were developing your own planner; that must've been like your personal R&D! >:DD
if you ever have time, i'd love to see a video of you going over old planners (both complete and incomplete) to see any trends/patterns you notice throughout the years! ^^ congrats on your continued success with MSTRPLN!!
I have moved to the Erin Condren planners. I used the Life Planner for Journaling this year and the softbound for my catch all. I'm moving to the EC Folio system in 2022 because there are petite planners that I can incorporate into my lifestyle. Really excited to see where I go with it. And yes the best tip is to be FLEXIBLE and don't be hard on yourself.
How did you know we needed this video? Lol, I love my 2021 mstrpln but I feel like I left a lot of pages unused. Going to do my best to fully utilize the 2022 book!
I enjoy planner aps because I can check my planner thru my phone anytime & anywhere. That is what has worked for me :)
aja i love the planners!! also just want you to know that i STILL use your google sheets template you gave a while back in your one of your past videos. it is my go-to organization for my budget when i do it digitally and its changed my life, truly. now since ive been budgeting im buying a property at 24 and i thank you so much for your influence on me!!
omg I have used that same sheet for years but now i'm thinking about supplementing the mstr planner since it's more a holistic financial vision whereas the sheet is very actual numbers in and out vs expected numbers. excited!
Neeeed your planner to plan my business better for 2022! ✨
Hi Aja!
I received your 2022 planner in the mail this weekend & I'm so excited to take control and responsibility of my finances. I'm hopeful that this will be THE planner, you know, the one I buy every year and accumulate somewhere in my home to remind me of how far I've come...But may I make a suggestion?
I LOVEEEE that you time blocked 30 minutes for the daily schedule..that's how I plan my day. But maybe you can leave the time out? I wake up at 3am and go to bed around 7-8pm so with the current setup right now 6am-10pm it doesn't work out for me very well. & yes I can just scribble out the times you have written..but my OCD won't let me, it'll look too messy.
I do know you can't just cater to one customer so I'll understand and make due if you can't :)
First like and comment 🥰 I needed this, I stink at using my planner effectively.
Just figure out what you need from your planner! Once you understand that, it’ll help you stay consistent
Just ordered mine.
I just purchased so excited!
thank you :)
I have recently spent too much money on planners that I don’t like! Lol. Finally found my faaaaaavorite. Remarkable2 , digital planner that auto saves as pdf and so I can keep a digital copy of it for later on. 🤓
It’s more of a journal since I need to use outlook calendars for work. Such a struggle to keep up two.
Girl u knowwww I'm using my #mstrpln planner! It just marries your finances and life so well. Love it so much!
thank you~!
Sometimes I use my planner for uni but I go off track. Haven’t finished watching but I’ll definitely incorporate these tips and leave my planner in a visible place. Also you look great!
Hi Aja,
why can’t I get this shipped to Sweden?? 🙇♀️ I would love to have just that planner! Love all you do and your advice. You are just not a smart woman but a wise one as well ❤
I just an undated planner bc I’m starting to take my finances seriously. I went through your school loan debt journey and meanwhile dreaded doing mine tbh. But I’m almost there bc I have one year left to graduated. And also have $2k owed to university still. Soooo stressful. So I’m taking charge of my finances! You are such a help. If you have any tips for increasing credit please help a girl out….again. Lol with yet another thing cuz I don’t have my ish together haha thank you Aja!
Love the planner but not available for UK
I love the Walmart brand 'Pen and gear' undated planner it's a good quality and colorful very eye catching and it's sold for $2.88. I brought like 2 of them for the future. It comes with a monthly calendar and weekly planning spaces. The planner includes a notes page for each month. And each week has a meal planning space, reminder, and To-Do list. It also comes with stickers that are pretty cool. I may do a review of it on my channel.
Your videos are my favorite
Thanks Brandon!
So sad, I live in Aus!😩 I love this planner so much!
I know I'm sorry! The cost to us to ship a planner to AUS is almost $60 so right now it's just not financially possible.
I've been an ink+volt loyalist for years, but am placing my order for MstrPln today! Fingers crossed it fills the gaps. Thanks so much for the video!!
uh oh no pressure!
@@AjaDang Stay tuned!! I'm so excited to get it!
This makes me so excited to set up my mstrpln undated planner. Maybe you can show us a flip of ur 2021 mstrpln planner i dont know what it is with seeing all pages that are used and abused 😁😁😁
eek!
I like your hairstyle in this video
Felicitaciones buen ingles
I need The Mastrplanner (Iceland)
❤️☺️☺️
ngl, I tell myself every year that THIS will be the year I use my planner and I stop using it like two weeks in LOOOL
😭😭😭😭 haha
Omg just seen you in a video with Josh Leyva from 8 years ago.
I have barely used my planner this year and it’s so unorganized. I have notes everywhere (on pages that are blank) so I can never find them. I will check out a bullet journal and your mstrpln planner
Maybe all you need is a blank journal (you can find cheaper ones that a bullet journal) for you to write notes in.
*pauses this video* On my way to grab my planner out of my car🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Why are you keeping the box with planners you don't like/use?
Not seeing the 2022 dated planners - is it finished?
ya babe! It's available: mstrpln.co/collections/the-mstrpln-collection/products/dated_planner
@@AjaDang oh its a budget planner and planner in one?
@@ashleynorthover5084 yup! every month has a monthly budget overview and every week has weekly budget spreadsheets.
I have a digital planner but I feel like I NEED your planner 😅
well. We do offer a digital planner 😇
I know your going to tell me I'm asking for too much. But can you record filling out planner so we can see upclose .
yes! I'm going to be doing my 2022 flow charts video soon
@@AjaDang Thank You!!
Please add translate Arbic
I refuse to live life without a planner. I don’t know who I was before I had one. Don’t want to be her
I was a mess, and we didn't like her.
