Planning idea for Bingo players

[Valgal]

I'm probably not the first to think of this, but as I was sitting down just now looking at my bingo card and trying to remember what my ideas have been for each prompt it dawned on me that DUUUUH, I can stick a little note over some of the squares.

Now I'll remember what I was going to do when I sit down to scrap OR remember to capture before the event passes and I've forgotten to take pictures.

Aren't I smart?

yeah, I started doing that- and I've started adding template and kit previews too if I know I am using one.

[Valgal]

I sometimes wonder about the logical part of my brain. :o

[NeverendingJen]

haha, well it only occured to me because I had a bunch of CT stuff I wanted to use and other layouts I wanted to do and was writing it out on paper...and then kicked myself LOL

Ahh! That's awesome!

I ended up making a folder on my desktop on Feb 1st... then made a folder for each challenge to stick notes in and a copy of the kit I plan to use (or put in the title which I was going to need to purchase) and a copy of the photos I plan to use. It has made things so much faster for me than last month as I can continuously scrap rather than "go hunting" between each layout. :)

Clever! I'm so inconsistent about writing notes by hand and digitally. It's like we've got one foot in the past and one foot in the digital age.

That's an awesome idea!! Love it!

Oh my gosh, I always just wing it with everything. I should try planning a little more and see if I like it. I don't usually have a problem with time, but I love organizing so it might be fun.

Me too. Sometimes I do everything typed and printed out, and sometimes I just write out a list by hand. When I'm party planning EVERYTHING has to be written out in my planner by hand with my purple pen.

Don't ask why because I don't have the answer.

That is a great idea, I am so far behind this month with my card that I think I need to put in place a bit more organization!

[danagirl82]

This is brilliant.

[Elsieanne]

OMG what an ingenious idea...sometime the simplest thing escape me LOLOL

[elwaechter]

Now why didn't I think of that??? I love both ideas. Adding a collection preview when you know what you want to use would save so much time! Jenn and Valerie - you are both brilliant!

[rach3975]

I take it a step farther--I print out a page with the Bingo Board and the picture of what configurations we can use to get Bingo. Then I can handwrite my notes, check off things I've done, etc. Much as I love digital for some things, I am completely incapable of planning and organizing myself without pen and paper.

That's an awesome idea Val!

Brilliant ideas! I haven't started the challenges...I think I'm a little intimidated. But I love these ideas for getting organized for them! Hopefully I will get organized and that will spur me to get some done before the end of the month!

Great idea! I change my topics/ideas so often as I go through the month that it isn't even funny. I know when I see the prompt what layout I want to do. The layout that wants to be created is often totally different. I like the freedom though of looking at the board, choosing a prompt and going for it. Then I'll get halfway through a layout and realize it isn't quite meeting the challenge so I go in a different direction. LOL

[kristijoy]

You gals are awesome. I did the same thing too! :wub:

[jumbbumble]

ooooh what a great idea i love it !

[Chels85]

That's the first thing i did when the bingo challenge came out, printed it out and wrote on it, i have a copy in my binder
