go to bulletjournal.com to see the intro video, then you can go to pinterest and/or IG and search for #bujo #minimalbujo #bulletjournal and see SO MANY ideas on how to customize.
Beckie, I'm afraid to start bullet journaling!! I've seen it here and there for years, and it looks so cool, but honestly, I can't start another hobby!

Keeping everything in one place is a good plan. I've thought about just using a binder... LOL! Trying to keep this simple!

I do have a to-do list on my phone and make occasional paper lists if there's something big I need lists for, like Thanksgiving dinner plans or the like.

As someone else said, I review the week ahead on my calendar, then the day ahead and plan what else I can fit in between the things I "have" to do at a certain time. Paper calendars don't seem to work for me because I never have them with me when I'm at appointments and so the phone seems to work best for me since I always have it with me.
I'm finding it to be the case where I don't have to schedule for the kids anymore, so I kind of don't really schedule anything (well, other than doctor appointments).

Hmmm...I'll have to check these out next time I'm at Walmart, Lynn!
