I thought I had my weekly planning situation resolved. My idea for how to set it up seemed to be working awesomely.
Until it wasn't.
I'm still looking at the weekly page every day because that's where I keep track of the weather, my word count, and what I'm reading, so that's not the problem. I just don't seem to be doing the weekly lists of things to accomplish. This is a problem.
Some of it maybe doesn't need to be done every week. Like I have shredding on the list, but if I miss a week or two, that's not a huge deal. But the reason I did put it on my weekly items is because I don't want to end up with a huge mound of paper to run through the shredder. That was something I dealt with after my dad died and it wasn't fun.
Then there is the project side of the weekly planner. Those are things that technically don't have to be done, but it would make my life better if I actually did do some of those things. These include house projects, but I also started adding things like "notebook Cal and Io" in there, too.
As you can see from the date on the picture above, I've used this system from now until the end of the year. Since pulling up all those stickers is a big NOPE, I'll have to keep trying for a few more months.
I've always had issues with weekly planning. It's the reason why I went to a daily planner as a last ditch effort to keep myself organized (daily works for me!), but this is still disappointing. When I flip to the current week's spread to do the weather or record my daily word count, I don't even look at the middle of the page where my projects and weekly to-do list is situated.
Like I said, I'm stuck for 2025. No pun intended. Now I need to brainstorm other ways to do a weekly plan for 2026. I started out the year in separate planners for weekly, daily, and monthly and that didn't work at all, so I can rule that out. I need a Plan D since A, B, and C have failed.
