Planner set up for 2025 Pt 3

Continuing on from Parts 1 and 2, I’m working through the set up for my uni section.

2025 Planner Series. 2025 Planner Set up. Setting up my uni section and February monthly & weeklies.
2025 Planner Series. 2025 Planner Set up. Setting up my uni section and February monthly and weeklies.

Since I decided to look at going back to university study last year, then applying and be accepted this year, I’ve been squirreling away all the possible ideas I could add to my uni section. What will I need? What do I want to keep with me all the time? What don’t I need? Will I be keeping course notes in my planner? If not how will I be keeping notes and where?

What do I need and what do I need to keep in my planner?

  • Course overview, including important dates, and contact details
  • Unit details, dates and contacts
  • Study timetable
  • Assignment due dates
  • Assignment results – I’m not sure on this one as yet

What don’t I need?

I have watched so many videos on YouTube and they add budget trackers, self care trackers, monthly and weekly spreads. I already have these so no point doubling up.

Will I be keeping course notes in my planner? If not how will I be keeping notes and where?

Nope. I’m going to be making a digital notebook in Goodnotes for all my uni course notes. Trying to work out what I want before the year starts. When I make it, I will no doubt link it up and offer it for others to use.

If you’re looking at getting back into study or just interested in digital note taking and student planners, I’ve created a YouTube playlist which you can view here. If you’ve got a favourite video you think would be a great addition, drop me a link in the comments so I can check it out.

Onto the planning and set up,

and as a bonus, my February planning and set up

One more section to go and that’s my everyday planner set up for the year.
Until next time.

Planner setup – November and December 2024

Planned to make a new YouTube series of my planning each month but November & December didn’t go as planned.

November ended up a little pre-done as I had the idea to record stuff half way through the month and I’d already done my planning and created the pages.

Then the stickers I wanted to use didn’t arrive in time so I set up the weeks and then just ended up decorating them with stuff I already had. I ended up just taking a bunch of photos of the complete pages and made them into a video.

So here’s the video – no voice over, just the video and some tunes.

What I used:

  • Bullet journal spread planner from JashiiCorrin
  • Planner –  Planners Anonymous Chapter: New Dawn A5 Melody planner cover & rings
  • Paper for inserts – J. Burrows Premium 160gsm A4 Digital Copy Paper
  • Christmas inserts – Lights Planner Action (link to each insert)
  • Washi tape (November) – PET from Temu
  • Washi & Stickers (December) are Planners Anonymous -Heartfelt Home, Christmas at Home and Deck the Halls
    Other stickers are from Luscious Labels
    Other bits and pieces from my scrapbook stash

Planner Set Up for 2024

Note – some links are affiliate

(And the changes over at Planners Anonymous)

2024 is a whole new setup at Planners Anonymous. At the end of 2023 they introduced Chapters and a massive change to how their subscription kits work. Chapters is going to be more than just a subscription though. To quote the website

Welcome to ‘Chapters’, a fresh beginning in our journey together. We’re so beyond excited to bring you an innovative approach to our range of goodies. ‘Chapters’ is more than a product; it’s a journey and a narrative, a series of moments crafted to enrich your planning and journaling experience. Join us as we turn each page in this new chapter of creativity, self-expression and self-exploration.

Sami and Team PA

Anyway the subscription line up used to be: standard sub box, extra sticker book and extra paper pack. Chapters now gives you 3 options – Planner lover, Paper lover and Sticker lover.

Planner Lover is for those who love to focus mainly on their planners and aren’t interested in all the extras. Think planner stickers, washi, note pads & sticky notes.
Paper Lover is the papers, journaling cards, stamps and die cuts.
Sticker Lover is for those who just want stickers.

Then each quarter there will be a special release – a bigger sticker book or the Bundle – sticker bundle, locket refresh, charm builder, plastic pockets, stencil bookmark/ruler and special item. SPOILERS
Q1 -Washi cutter
Q3 – Desktop Easel
Q4 – Script Headers Stamp Set

Anywho, along with all of that Sami designed and released an A5 Melody planner cover. Now I started as an A5 planner girl so my heart was getting pulled towards grabbing that for my 2024 setup. Then the kiddos bought it for me for Christmas so 2024 is me going back to my A5 love.

I’ve gone purely rings for my set up as I found I didn’t use the string inserts after a couple of months. Set up is in 4 sections – Yearly, Monthly/Weekly, Misc and Chapters.

Section 1 – Yearly
It’s my birthday and anniversary list, Fun Days calendar, Rate my Day (it’s like a Year in Pixels), Health log, Dream log and some witchy stuff (full moons, sabbats etc)

Section 2 – Monthly/Weekly
A monthly themed cover, my monthly spread, weeklies, songs (& playlists) for the month, sleep log, One line a day and a monthly reflection

Section 3 – Miscellaneous
Lots of lists – Movies to watch, To Be Read list, Books read, shows to watch, what we’ve watched, podcasts, future me problems (things I want future me to do or would like to do), present idea lists

Section 4 – Chapters
This is going to be a bit of a work in progress. It’ll be the Chapters extras and some of my own journaling.
No spoilers though for this one. I may share my own journaling pages at a later date though.

So there you have it. What’s your planner lineup for 2024?

Planner Setup for 2023

Another year in my Planners Anon Melodies. Hopefully I might add a third to the line-up this year and have a dedicated Christmas planner (hello Christmas at Home). Maybe even splurge and buy myself a Melody for Spring or Autumn – possibly Sakura for Spring and All for Fall for Autumn. It depends on what Sami brings out this year.

This year I’m shaking things up a bit. I’m using both the strings and rings in the Melody. On the front string I’ve got a B6 TN Undated Monthly Glance from Lights Planner Action for all my monthlies, monthly goals, important dates
On the rings I have 4 dividers set up. The first is Yearly which contains my Master Birthday & Anniversary list and my 23 goals for 2023. I’ll be adding moon phases, yearly oracle reading, yearly numerology & corresponding Tarot in here too.
Next is my weeklies. I printed a bunch of dot grid paper which I downloaded. There is a blank page and the front and back of each month so I can decorate the front and do a monthly roundup on the back.
Third divider houses my trackers – mood, sleep and period. I have a master habit tracker on my Google Drive that I purchased from Thyme is Honey. I’m thinking I’ll add a paper habit tracker to this section and just transfer the data at the end of each month.
The forth, and last divider, is my Misc section. Movies to watch & have watched. Books to read and have read. TV shows and Podcasts
On the back string I have a planner pocket from Planners Anon I’m using to store the stickers I use every week (like my rubbish bin stickers from Luscious Labels)

Here’s a quick flick through (& sneak peak of some of my January pages)

Catching up – the rest of 2022 in my planner

September sees me move into my Spring/Summer planner which is a Planners Anonymous B6 melody from the Note to Self range.
I changed up my planner inserts a bit for the remainder of the year – a mix of boxed, bullet journal and even had a go at designing my own.

September was the boxed Masquerade insert from Planners Anonymous, October was the insert I designed using the Planners Anon For the Boos digital creative kit, November was Planners Anon Dream Chaser luxe bujo insert and December was another bujo insert from Planners Anon (I can’t remember which one). I have to admit I am really loving playing with bullet journal spreads again.
