Summary

When we first started jumping into digital planning and maximizing our productivity through the use of technology, it was not easy. In fact, we had to build new habits, learn the technology, and there were moments when we wanted to quit and go back to what we always had done. The thing is, it is easy to quit something that we find challenging. It is easy to stick to what we have always done, but be honest with yourself, will it make you better? The short answer is no. Let’s start with some tough love. Transitioning to a digital planner takes work. You cannot purchase a planner and think it will make all your problems go away. You have to make the effort in developing a new habit so that you are getting the most out of your planning. So go into digital planning knowing that you will find it challenging. In this episode you will learn: Develop a routine to using the planner consistently Create a planning routine for the month that will help to set you for success in reaching various goals. Define your planning style and own it! No need to plan like everyone else. Utilize templates to help your productivity and make the planning process easier Pictures can help guide you and minimize paper clutter in the classroom. We are also very excited to announce that our January 2022 - December 2022 Digital planners will be available on Friday, November 26th. We will be offering these planners with a 20% discount until December 12th. You can find that and another fabulous surprise in our store on Black Friday!

0:00.0	Top teachers, this is Michelle popping in real fast for a quick disclaimer. I recently got a new
0:06.4	computer and when I hooked up my podcast equipment for the recording of this episode, I forgot
0:12.4	to switch it over to my microphone. So you are going to hear Bridget's beautiful crystal clear voice
0:19.6	and then you're going to hear mine where it kind of sounds
0:22.2	like I'm underwater. I apologize. Totally my fault. Don't blame Bridgett. But I truly hope that you will
0:28.3	enjoy listening to this episode anyway because we do share some wonderful nuggets. And just another
0:34.2	quick disclaimer, you are going to hear us refer to our digital planners.
0:38.8	We do want to make it clear that the 2021 school year digital planners, so the July to June,

1:37.0	come on. It is not exactly school-related, but sort of. Tracking my calories slash logging food during the school year, as well as
1:46.5	staying strict with the gym during the busiest time there. I don't know about you, but my gym is a
1:51.8	madhouse of people from 4 to 7 p.m. Yes, Ashley. My gym is always so crowded. I have started a good
1:59.0	regiment over the summer of working out and in turn
2:02.6	tracking what I'm putting into my body. This is a lot of work though and man does it take up time.
2:08.0	I have a crazy, busy, hectic, insane schedule once school starts up. How do you do it all,
