<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIt\u2019s that time of year again – planner setup season! \u2728 I always look forward to this process: fresh pages, new intentions, and the chance to tweak my system for what\u2019s ahead. For 2026, I\u2019m keeping things simple but intentional – using tools and layouts that have worked for me, while refining a few sections to better fit where I\u2019m at right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like in 2025, I\u2019ll be using my A5 Melody planner<\/a> from Planners Anonymous<\/strong> (it’s sadly sold out but all their planner covers are amazing). It\u2019s gorgeous, functional, and endlessly customisable. I\u2019ll be printing my own dot-grid inserts, so I can tailor each section to my planning style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For 2026, my planner will be divided into four main sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each section has its own rhythm – some pages I\u2019ll use every day, while others serve as those \u201cbig picture\u201d reference points that keep me grounded and inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where my planner begins: the overview of the year and everything I want to keep in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s included:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The monthly section is where most of my active planning happens.

In Part 2, I\u2019ll be sharing a closer look at my Yearly and Monthly pages, along with photos and printable templates once everything is finalised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a fellow planner nerd or simply curious about creating a system that works for you – I hope this inspires you to make your setup your own<\/em>: functional, flexible, and full of joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Setting Intentions for the Year Ahead Every December, I carve out time to sit down with a cold drink, my favourite pens, and a pile of planner supplies spread across the table. It\u2019s my quiet ritual – reflecting on the year that\u2019s been and laying the groundwork for what\u2019s to come.
