Take Care of the Insides of Your Planner
Most people take care of the outsides of their planners - wiping them down, protecting them in bags, or treating leather.
But the insides of a planner are the important part!
What are you doing to care for those parts?
Check out this Classic Giftie post to find out how I care for the insides of my planner.
As always when I look back on a classic post, I update with things that I am currently doing. So, this morning, I read the old post and did the following:
*pulled out some projects that are complete and filed them away,
*filed away my September calendar pages, and
*created a task to redo my ABC Notes tabs, as they are worn out (and I don't have time to do it immediately).
Let me know in the comments what you did to care for the insides of your planner this week.
Etcetera.

The Care And Upkeep Of The Insides Of A Planner
***This post may contain affiliate links. These links help you find the items that I use in my planner and financially support this blog. See my "Disclaimer" link for additional details.***
If you don't decorate much (and I don't), write things where they are supposed to go (I do), and have a decent system in place (yep), your planner rarely needs a tune-up.
Still, sometimes things just need to be updated. I am not talking about revising a system, but just doing routine upkeep.
For example, my projects index was old and full of scratch-outs and needed to be replaced. I didn't change anything about my index page except to only recopy what was still relevant.
Note that I only have two projects going right this minute. I have three work projects, actually, but those are in my work planner. Also, I am about to plan a birthday party, but the initial planning session will happen this weekend.
The reason that I don't change the system is that, after all, if a system is working for you, you should probably keep it. If you want to see how I use an ABC file as my Projects Index WITHOUT putting documents in ABC order, click on this link.
I also updated my budget pages. Yes, I've already spent too much this month.
I made more of the my "homework sheets" (where I track the kids' homework assignments) and more daily pages.
Note that I cut the pages slightly smaller than my regular pages. That is intentional. First, it frees me from getting the measurements absolutely perfect. Second, it means I can clip everything together with a Magnetic Page Marker and still see my weekly spread easily.
I also highlighted (using FriXion Erasable Highlighters, which is important, since I messed up the first time) the annual spread on my Quo Vadis future pages. I do that so that I don't accidentally schedule a conflict. One glance at October 27th, for example, shows a colored in annual spread square. That means to check the future page for October 27th and see what is already booked (my sister's birthday) before booking something else.
If you think it's time for a tune-up, just flip through your planner, looking for anything that could use some recopying or recutting, list it on a blank piece of paper, and do it. If you care for your planner like this a couple times a year, it will keep working for and taking care of you.
Etcetera.
