Breaking in Your New Planner

Golden Coil Customizable Planners Breaking in New Planner

Are you starting 2021 with a fresh new Golden Coil planner? If so, there are a few things to do to get your new planner ready to go! We’ve created a checklist (because we all love checklists!) :) to help you remember what things to transfer from your old planner and what set up steps you’ll want to remember for your new planner.

TRANSFER

  • Passwords from your Password +page

  • Any unfinished books or items from your Reading and Bucket lists

  • Holiday gifting ideas that you didn’t use

  • Recipes you want in your new planner

  • Outstanding appointments or to-do items

  • Recurring appointments

  • Any goals you’re still working on

  • Be sure to include all the photos, ticket stubs, and memorabilia you want in your Keepsake Box with your previous planner!

SET UP

  • Update or add any addresses or phone numbers that you didn’t print into your new planner

  • Add any birthdays or events that you didn’t print into your new planner (add these to your weekly and monthly spreads as well as your Year-at-a-Glance +page!)

  • Add items to your Reading and Bucket lists

  • Set up a color code for your Mood Tracker +page

  • Fill out your Goals +page

  • Lay out your priorities and focuses for the year and add reminders throughout your planner (for example, if you’ve chosen a word for the year, you could write it at the top of each of your weekly spreads)

  • Make sure you’ve got the accessories you need, such as pens, book darts, and a bookmark

  • Get your first week and/or month filled out with your appointments and to-do items!

It’s so satisfying to crack open a new planner and get it ready to use! What other things do you do to get your new planner ready? Share with us!
