I kept forgetting what my icons meant on my monthly spread, so I made a simple flip-out icon key for my favorite PlannerKate BW icons. It attaches right to the edge of my Erin Condren planner and flips out so I can easily see my key no matter what weekly page I am looking at.

Today is Warehouse Wednesday, which means all PlannerKate BW icons are on sale!

If you are struggling to finally get those donation boxes out of your house, this simple lifestyle trick might be exactly what you need.

My rule is to put those boxes directly into the back of my car. Since I use Sam's Club pickup for my bulk groceries, I am forced to drop the donations off first to make room in my car for the groceries.

It gets the boxes out of the house and forces me to follow through!

The one mindset shift that changed everything for me when organizing my life was letting go of the pressure to finish every single task immediately.

Instead of assigning a specific day to every non-urgent task, I keep a flexible list on a sticky note. If those tasks are not done by the last week of the month, that is when I finally assign them to a specific day.

This simple trick completely removes the daily pressure and keeps your plans flexible.

Are you scared to mess up the blank notes pages at the back of your Erin Condren planner? See the full setup video (and the sticker sheet numbers) here: https://kristankremer.com/6-simple-ideas-for-functional-planner-project-pages/

I used to stare at those lined pages, totally paralyzed by the pressure to make them look perfect. Now, I use full-page stickers from to instantly create functional dashboards for my reading log, bills and financial goals, and recurring tasks. It completely removes the stress of drawing a layout from scratch.

Here's what I grabbed from Erin Condren while covers are on sale!

I can't believe all these years and loving MCC as much as I do, I never did get a cover with my name on it!

What are you picking up?

Do you have blank lined notes pages in your planner but aren't sure how to actually use them?

Staring at a blank page can feel overwhelming, but it is actually the perfect place to build a simple weekly grid that fits your real life.

You don't even have to figure out the math because I already did it for you! If you use the notes pages in an Erin Condren monthly planner, give yourself a 3 ¼ inch column for your tasks and a ¼ inch column for the dates. Because the page has exactly 28 lines, just divide that by 7. Give each day exactly 4 lines, and you will have the perfect spacing for a full week of plans.

Here's how the pantry challenge is coming along! I'm still confident I can make it work for dinners and just convince my family to eat cereal and sandwiches for other meals until that stuff is gone.

I'm hoping I can still deposit the $119.67 that I saved by only buying milk, bread, spaghetti sauce, and chips this week. Next week's grocery budget savings will most likely be a lot less since we'll be running on fumes 🙃

Saving money is challenging when everyone expects to eat 😂

Pantry challenge grocery shopping at HEB. Can I stick to my budget? How much milk does your kid drink in a week?
