They contain totatally separate entries. If I ever need to cross reference, I use mini post-it notes and transfer across. I always mark my work reminders in red in my personal palnner. They are usually in the form of reminders rather than detailed entries. I have used this system for over 12 months and it works for me. They look entirely different inside and I like it that way. When I combined the two originally into one planner, I was alwyas faced with work in my private life - not a good thing.Kent From Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644191249831699851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-84369275087758359672014-03-28T16:26:51.208-05:002014-03-28T16:26:51.208-05:00I don't think I could use two planners. When ...I don't think I could use two planners. When I worked & kept my information separate, I didn't actually have a "planner" for work. I used outlook and a notebook. So I really only had one planner. <br /><br />If I was going to do that now, I think I would use a Classic size and have two planners inside the same planner. I'd have two sets of calendars and two sets of whatever types of pages I needed. That would probably work better for my messed up brain.pattygardner.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465166654988101342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-33164070001857447822014-03-28T09:06:09.835-05:002014-03-28T09:06:09.835-05:00About a month ago I split out my personal and work...About a month ago I split out my personal and work planning and it's working fairly well. My personal is a FC compact binder which I'm using as a wallet, too. For work I've transitioned from a classic FC binder to a DayTimer Weekly/Monthly spiral bound planner. It's professional-blah in appearance but very functional: I write my weekly plan on the days I don't work, my daily plan on the days I do, and I keep a legal pad for more extensive notes, which get filed later. There is a plastic pouch in the back where I put important papers that I need to have with me when I go out, otherwise everything is in a file drawer. This is working very well and the bound planner/FC compact are lightweight when carried together in my bag.Christine Cortesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313316307757263323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-30278403210892462622014-03-27T22:04:43.800-05:002014-03-27T22:04:43.800-05:00So this is very interesting for me.

I honestly have lots of info to slot into the work planner. I've been putting checklists and notes right into the work planner and so have been carrying both back and forth to work but the work planner does not go anywhere else. I still feel some angst about how this is going to work.

I have used multiple planners, too, and still do so. It has been ome time since I was dealing with work, family, and college, but I had three different planners for about three years. Yes, the system worked. My school planner went to evening classes with me. My daily use planner was always with me no matter where I was (except on date nights with hubby, of course.!. I still use multiple planners. I have one just for holidays! I have one for our complete budget and tax matters. I have one that is for overall home management (a la Flylady's Control Journal). Then there is my personal planner. I use the "Desk" size Daytimer binder, but I use numerous different parts to other planners, too. I am known as the "Lady with the bright yellow planner" in my community. Those who know me expect me to be able to put my finger on information in an instant, and, most of the time, I can do just that. <br /><br />Life is busy even in retirement, so I still use my multiple planners. I even have a small planner (red cover)so that my family will know where to find important information if I am not around. <br /><br />In addition to all of that, I also do some page designing for planners. My daughter wanted a diet log system. I created one for her and exported the form as a pdf so that she cann print them as needed.<br /><br />"Playing" with planners is both a useful thing for me and a form of recreation. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
