MY 3 HOLY GRAIL ORGANIZATION SYSTEMS!!!

MY 3 HOLY GRAIL ORGANIZATION SYSTEMS!!! It’s me and my @Erin Condren Shop planner against the world 😤 plus a few other helpful systems!!! Monthly dinner planning and laying out my semester give me such a better grasp of what’s to come and helps me overall have less on my brain 😛🧠✏️ of course my mighty @Paper Mate flair pens steal the show every time as well 🤩✨ #organizationhacks #mealplanning #monthlyplanner #gradschooltips #organizedlife It will be no surprise to anyone that my first on this list is my Erin Condren planner. I love it. I do a monthly and then like a weekly spread. Right now I have the weekly spread. I have gone through a lot of different ones for different stages and seasons of my life as I transition into like a new career. I might get a different layout. We'll see, but I love my Erin Condren planner. This is pretty universal, could be applicable to anyone at any stage of life. I'm just kind of obsessed with Erin Condren. My second system is also pretty universal, could be helpful to anyone who like plans meals. So I have started planning out monthly meals. This has been a game changer for me. It allows me to just think less during the month about what we're going to be eating and then prep more in terms of like my grocery runs. I'll be more intentional about my time and what I'm buying all of that stuff. So that's super, super helpful. I've done this now since like November. I mean, it's incredible. I just make a list of all the meals and then I list all the ingredients and then I see what I can get in advance, what I need to get fresh that week. So that's been super, super helpful and saved me so much time and energy. My third system is definitely more applicable if you're like in grad school or have started deadlines for something. But right now at this stage of my life, literally a paper calendar that shows when my assignments are due has also been a game changer. I'm super visual. Hence all the calendars. So this is super helpful in terms of like when stuff is due in relation to each other. So I can prioritize and see like what's top priority, what needs to get done, what can be on the back burner for the time being. I can't make a planner video without talking about my favorite pens, which are Paper Mate flair pens. They are the best. They have the best colors. Need I say more? This last month especially with moving, finishing, teaching, being in my clinical has been overall and especially. And definitely been more disorganized than usual, but these have helped me stay a little bit centered in the midst of a lot of chaos.
