Getting Ahead Without Getting Overwhelmed | OCTOBER Plan With Me | Plum Paper

October is here, which means we're officially entering the part of the year where the calendar starts getting a little... enthusiastic. 😂 Today I'm setting up my October monthly pages in my Plum Paper planner, decorating with a spooky-cute sticker kit and getting a head start on the holiday tasks that can make November and December feel a whole lot easier. We’ll talk about planner systems, seasonal planning, holiday prep, capacity, family schedules and how I use my monthly pages to get the big picture before I start breaking things down into weekly plans. Because planning isn't about predicting exactly what will happen. It's about giving Future You a little help.
