Free for All Friday No. 909 by Nan

 What are some of the ways the calendar or diary in your organizer could be saving you money? I can think of a few:

- Note date that bills are due so you can pay them without incurring late fees

- Note date that subscriptions renew so you can cancel them before getting charged for another year

- Keep lists of things you need to purchase so you can keep an eye on when special offers appear

- Note last return date for items you purchase so you won't miss getting a refund if you want 

- Record purchases on the day they occur so you can see where your money is going (and think about how you want to change that!)

As always on Friday, all discussion related to ring-bound organizers is welcome!

'Planner Reset'

Going through all the videos for Video Web Finds in the last couple of weeks, I've come across many of the contributors talking about doing a 'Planner Reset

I don't have a definitive definition for what they mean by doing a 'Planner Reset' as it varies from just a small tweak to completely their method of planning (e.g. rings > travellers notebook). With various stages in between of course. 

We are now in April the first quarter of the year has finished, and we are approaching a third of the way into the year. Therefore is it too late to change? It will depend on your reasons for changing?   

Reasons/Excuses for the change in your planner could be any one or a combination of the following: 

• A change of circumstances, life or work changes.
• A change you made at the beginning of the year such as a size change just hasn't worked. 
• You have had to take on more responsibilities at work or in your life, therefore you need more planning 'space'. 
• You just want to break out of the winter blues.... who doesn't!

I'm not saying making a change is the wrong thing to do. It's best to adjust your system to get it working better for you, than to just live with a system that isn't working to the extent that you potentially abandon it and you go back to only use your phone... please don't do that! 

Like changes to any system be it planning or otherwise, it's sometimes better do the changes in small increments and test them out for a few days before you make the next change, that way you can evaluate and review the improvements better. 

Not sure what is not working or why it isn't working for you? Ask on Free For All Tuesday (FFAT) or Free For All Friday (FFAF), you can even ask anonymously in the comments. There is no shame in asking for help. 

And for the record I am still in the same inserts that I started the year using.
