It's Not a Planner-Create The Perfect Inserts and Sturdy Cover to Use As a Lister To Stay Organized

[@jeweltompkins8532]

Confession time. Totally a lister, usually on the back of junk mail envelopes. Such a brilliant idea. Was just telling Hubby I need to figure out an idea nursery to keep all the "stuff" in my brain recorded and organized. Thank you. Thank you.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻finally someone that understands those of us that are mesmerized by the concept of a planner but revert back to our torn notebook paper lists!!!

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Thanks Julie : )

[@rosemarysokolowski3579]

I love this - I make a lot of lists - sometimes I make a list in the morning for all the things that need to be done for the day. Putting them in a pretty little booklet would be a lot better than lots of small papers scattered around and you can't find the list. Thanks for sharing this cute idea.

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Have you made a list of lists???? I think I have lol

[@laplibrarian6094]

LOVE this! I'm a total lister! I tried for YEARS to use a weekly planner and just couldn't make it work. Too much stress! I just use a monthly calendar so I don't forget appointments and a list. And NOW I'm going to have an adorable LISTER for the holiday season! Will have to make one for my sisters too since apparently the listing gene runs deep in my family. Thank you! 💕 Lindsay

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Ohhh that will be a thoughtful gift : )

[@lorrainemcneil]

Omg, this is brilliant, my brain is also full of barely contained chaos and Ive been playing at planning and journalling for years. By playing I mean, making journals and planners but never actually using them. I know exactly what you mean when you said the planner (or journal) became the work!! You have just hit the nail on the head for me. Im a lister!!!!!!! I just didnt realise it. I have lists everywhere, in my kitchen drawer, in my bedside cabinet, on my fridge........etc. You've just opened up a whole new world for me. What a legend you are! I cant wait to make one of these now. Im super excited. Just brilliant, hun. I bet more than a few people have had a light bulb, moment today watching your channel. Wonderful xxx p.s I also agree with the length. NOT that you can do better, you did GREAT, but I feel a more length would make this absolutely perfect x

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Aww that made my day. I hope you enjoy creating and using your Lister : )

[@lindaholt2235]

Lister here. As soon as I learned about TNs I knew I had found my happy place. I create inserts in a few different sizes for special purposes (Christmas planner holds 3x5 cards from each family member for gift lists, and much more). I love to use grid or lined paper in my inserts. This project will evolve for you over time and will be so great!

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Great tip!

[@cathygrant6838]

Yay!!! LISTERS UNITE! My mother left lists of to dos around the house which we had to done before she got home, and as much as i hated them, i became a lister, and now im reminding my 87 yo mother to keep a little spiral with her at all times so she can keep better track of what needs to be done. I hve recently started listing things i do which werent on tje list of to dos, just so i feel like i did get something done even if it wasnt on my list originally. Sorry rambling..

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Adding things to the list after you have accomplished them is actually helpful to keep track of your tasks . It's also a great way to feel more accomplished which is inspiring to get more done!

[@LoJo99]

Yes. Listers unite. 😂😂😂

[@wordscrafter]

I, too, tried using a planner. After spending too much money, I finally accepted that my brain just doesn't work that way. This is super pretty, and the fact that it's refillable is fantastic!!! I may even make some as gifts! Thanks for sharing this ❤❤❤!

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

You can do it!

[@cherylwells1266]

This is a great organizer/planner/lister, Ginny!! I love this idea - thank you!!

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Thanks so much!

[@CozyCraftyVibes]

I am also a lister! I love to use my planners as listers. This a great little project. 💕

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Yay! Thank you!

[@MyScrapbookLoft]

This was so very interesting and inspiring. I may have to make one of these as my mind gets cluttered too and planners never work for me either. Lol. Your tutorial was very good. Hugs

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Go for it!

[@hannahdee855]

I'm pretty sure I started list making right after I was born! Ha! I make them for everything. I also purchase pretty wall calendars each year and they almost become a journal of sorts for me. I jot down birthdays and other events but also list meals, etc. Absolutely love this project Ginny. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@nancypyter1511]

This is such a great project Ginny! The covers of your booklets turned out so cute! A great way to use up those leftover stickers!🥰

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Thanks so much!

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

Love this idea. I love journaling and definitely a lister so this is going to be great!!

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Yay, thank you!

[@loripinard3280]

total lister here! actually, i use sticky notes and love the satisfaction of crumpling and throwing them away when I complete the list. this is such a pretty helpful idea. thank you!

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Love that!

[@ShawnaFigueroa4930]

I'm A Lister too!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Thanks for watching!

[@kdnkdd]

Adorable. We seem to have something in common. I understand how everyone else's mind is thinking but my mind will be going in a totally different direction and over time I learned to be okay with it.

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Sadly my brain is going in many different directions at the same time. I call it Crazy Brain!

[@moirajack6856]

Great idea. Copier paper is 20lb. 24lb paper might be thick enough to allow you to write on both sides but not too bulky to staple.

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Great suggestion

[@imaquiltingfan]

I’m a lister so i love this idea. Thank you!

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Glad it was helpful!

[@joycebury8568]

Loved this I am a lister too and this is agreat idea. It will be my next project. Thank you

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks friend!

[@kathyaclaude4966]

❤❤❤

[@LoJo99]

Me too.

[@joniheath6722]

Love This! Do you plan to do a project for mother's day?

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

That's the plan!

[@karencrittenden414]

Yup I’m a lister not a planner!

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

Lister!

[@ericanelson5320]

What’s a dashboard and what do I do with it? But I’m really good at the list part!

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

I'm truthy convinced they were invented by planner supply sellers to get you to buy more stuff lol. I just like the idea of having a place you can put a little extra work into that can be used from year to year or planner to planner.

[@whittencreativedesign4579]

Where is the best place to gelt a ‘folder tab’ punch?

[@pollyspaperstudio1792]

I always use my envelope punch board.

[@kaywade6621]

Love this project! Is the base of the dashboard, before decorating, 5.5 X 4.25?

[@kaywade6621]

I meant 5.5 X 8.5. 😊
