This is an important topic for me to share with you because I know that there are so many people that have the best intentions with their planners and I know that planning can certainly help so many busy women but for a number of reasons it can be hard to stay on track. Whether it’s because life is hectic or because it can be hard to build new habits, it all comes down to not benefiting from a consistent planning routine that can help your life.


So let’s jump into how to actually use your planner consistently.
