7 Things Your Planner Says About You

1. Whether you prefer things to be simple or over the top.

Do you have a simple minimalist bullet journal or do you have a planner full of washi, stickers, and charms? Your journal is very often a reflection of what you prefer in life and reflects your personal style! Sometimes this can vary because you like to be clean and minimalist for work and more over the top for fun. Regardless, your planner speaks about your personal style!

2. What you value/spend time on.

What are you tracking and recording in your planner? Do you have a budget, a fitness tracker, a reading list? What you choose to create spreads for is a roadmap to the things that you value most and most want to focus on in life.

3. Your hopes and dreams.

Do you track your goals? Flipping through your planner, do you see a pattern of to-dos and wish list items? Are you working toward a big goal? If so, your planner is a great place to begin to break that goal into manageable steps. If you schedule it, you can make time for it!

4. Your favorite colors.

What colors are found in your favorite spreads, decorations, and supplies? Do you gravitate toward earthy greens, sunny yellows, or royal purples? Do you love pink? If not on the cover, I bet your favorite color(s) is reflected somewhere in your planner. If it’s not, now is the time to add your favorite shades to make planning more fun!

5. You are focused.

Just like above, planners and journals are great tools to hone focus on what you want to do and improve on in life. The fact that you are keeping track of your daily, weekly, or monthly goals and to-dos already shows that you are focused.

6. You are organized.

You have a planner, you have a system that is working for you. Even if it’s not perfect, that shows that you are striving toward organization. Keep going until you have planner peace!

7. You are creative.

Planners show your creative side. There are a number of ways to express creativity through planning, regardless of crafting interest and level of skill. Stickers, stencils, stamps, washi, and doodles are all great ways to express your creativity through journaling and planning!
