Welcome back to Tiny Tiger Collective! In this video, I share my struggles with my 2025 planner lineup. After experimenting with a catch-all system in 2024, I swung in the opposite direction this year, using multiple planners to compartmentalize different areas of my life—work, health and wellness, long-form journaling, and family memory keeping. But things haven’t gone to plan.
I’ll walk through my biggest challenges, including:
the difficulty of maintaining multiple planners
losing track of appointments across different books
feeling unmotivated to work in planners I know I won’t keep
how life changes, like building a small business, have impacted my planning needs
This video is an honest reflection on what’s working, what isn’t, and what I’ll be changing. If you’ve ever struggled with planner overwhelm, I hope this helps you feel less alone.
