Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely, long weekend in whatever ways you chose to spend it.
One thing about me? I’m gonna make a PLAN!
I’m a planner by nature because I’m a “yes man” by nature. Ok, that doesn’t sound great, but what I mean is that I tend to take on a lot of projects because I get excited when I’m busy and doing all the things at once. I guess that’s why I went freelance because why have ONE job when you could have seven different ones?
I predict that my 2025 will be even busier than my 2024, and that thought fills me with pure joy. But how do I juggle my clients, a startup, pending newsletter stardom and a social life? A good, old-fashioned written planner. One where I can see everything laid out all neat and tidy. One where you buy a specific pen just to add to the satisfaction of it all. My birthday was on Thursday (28 on the 28th!) and when my grandma asked me what it was I wanted, I think she was a little confused when I sent her a very specific planner I’ve been eyeing and daydreaming about since I first laid eyes on her. And since I’m not one to gatekeep, I’m sharing it for all my Type-A guys, gals and pals.
And if this type of content doesn’t particularly excite you, that’s ok, we’ll catch up next week!
But if it DOES, let me just continue singing the praises of an inanimate object by describing what all this wondrous planner contains within the walls of its bindings:

If this and caffeine don’t help me achieve all my 2025 resolutions, I don’t know what will!
Here’s the video that started it all for me:
You can follow the creator here.
I fear this might contradict my last newsletter of more feelings and less To-Do lists, but being organized makes me feel good too… so it’s a start!
You can buy my new obsession here. They have planners for moms, college students, content creators, or just regular planners like the one I have.
Anyway, I hope everyone has had a fantastic first couple of days of December! We’re at the finish line of 2024, which is always so emotional.
