In this planner chat, I’m doing my August planner update and officially moving back into personal rings—specifically my Filofax Malden. I talk through what wasn’t working in my current setup (that “something’s off” feeling we all get), and why personal size rings just makes more sense for how I’m planning right now. This is very much a realistic reset: I’m not trying to create the prettiest pages on the internet—I’m trying to make planning feel supportive again so I can stay consistent. I walk you through how I’m setting up August, what sections I’m keeping in my Malden, and how I’m planning ahead so the month doesn’t sneak up on me. I also share my weekly and daily planning strategy—how I like to map out the week, then use my dailies for what actually needs my attention in real life. If you’ve been thinking about going back to rings (or you’re stuck in planner limbo), this video is your permission slip to simplify, adjust, and choose the system that fits you right now. And yes—come back for the setup flip because I’ll show everything once it’s all in place.
