In this world of social media, YouTube, productivity gurus and artistic bullet journals, it can be easy to lose yourself in the world of planners, planning and productivity.

If you look on Instagram or YouTube, you’ll likely see as many different planning systems as you do people posting them. Each of us has a different life, with different needs, different wants, different forces pulling and pushing us into each day.
