Girl…I haven’t stuck to any of my planner planning goals for this year. So don’t feel bad. Sometimes back planning can be fun and therapeutic. The time away may have been needed to reset yourself.
Sometimes it’s not a planner funk per say, but a life or mood funk. It is totally fine to pause and gather ourselves then get back on top of things when we feel better or sort things out. Let’s all remember to give ourselves grace. I Love your spreads by the way! I use a mini horizontal as my EDC and enjoy watching you make your spreads so pretty. I don’t really decorate mine anymore. Just a few stickers here and there. But I still enjoy watching your spreads come alive with all the pretty stickers. I am thinking on moving from a simply dashboard to a horizontal in my work planner which is a classic. I love the space of a horizontal planner. Anyhoo… TFS!
Thank you for your words! You’re absolutely right “pause and gather ourselves then get back on top” … I had to screenshot that one. You struck something in me. Thank you! 🥹🤗🥰🥰🥰
I’m back to decorative planning after taking two years off. I had a Bujo because I didn’t have the time to decorate anything. New mom and such. You might be feeling uninspired or it just doesn’t serve you in this season in your life.
I started the first week on a blaze of glory. Then the second week was a bust I got tired of it already because I'm so busy at work and I use the heck of of my work planner, but I feel too overwhelmed to pull out my personal planner during the day even though I want to. What I realized is that the delicate disc bound "pretty" planner I bought is not functional enough for daily use, I need a simple sturdy book bound planner then I can just toss in my bag and write scrappily in. So I bought a $9 planner from Amazon and Im gonna use that for planning and use my pretty planner to backplan and be creative in a relaxed environment at home on the weekends.
I’m in the same boat! I’ve been in a planner funk since November. I had a temporary lifestyle transition back to normal in early December and I can’t find my rhythm with my planner. I spent yesterday just functional planning but I want to get back to decorating my spreads.
I just know I get into a funk every year for a few weeks during the winter time. I am sending you blessings that you find your way out of the struggles you are having now. Believe and you will overcome it. Nice spread Kendra.
I’m in a little funk I’m trying the horizontal this year and I’m getting the decorative part but the function aspect which has me thrown. Yes I would like to see a longer video for your flip through
I typed in the search bar “back planning funk” and this is what I needed to help me feel not alone 😅 I always think “I’ll write in it tomorrow” or “I want to decorate it first before writing in it”, and then that turns into days and days not touching my planner 😅 hoping listening to others going through a funk helps 😇
Super cute spread. Love the floelwers in the mountains. Would prefer to see the flip throughs in 2 separate videos. I hope you feel better soon and give yourself grace. You have a lot going on AND a new puppy… you are booked and busy! ❤❤❤
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll do separate videos.. You’re right I have a lot going on right now but I just feel like I normally have a better handle on things.
Beautiful spread! Planner funk…I have totally been there. Even now, I’m determined not to overwhelm myself with “all the things” and truly have “Planner Peace” this year. Also, it could be the demanding time in having a puppy. I don’t have my puppy anymore (for several reasons) but she was also time consuming, on top of working a full time job! It’ll get better. You’re doing great Sis 🥰
Had to back plan this week too as we are in the middle of moving into our new home so I am trying to catch up 😂 but it’s totally ok just gotta keep going you got this girl 😊
Maybe your mini planner is serving you and this planner is redundant for you? Are you tired of winter spreads? They don't have to be winter themed. I am in a creativity funk...I think? I'm not back planning, I am current, but I have NOT liked any of my spreads this year. They are funky and even fugly. Perhaps this is a version of planner funk. Anyway, I have a Bujo coming just to use for a gardening journal, I've never had one but I feel so excited about it...I've pulled all kinds of ephemera and pens and things to start it when it shows up Thursday!
Planner funk is real when there is pressure to decorate and the added stress of filming and all the social metrics, etc. ultimately this is your happy place. We like what you do, so you do you! Enjoy the process!
You sid say that you have alot going on and are really busy these days, so you may have gotten alittle overwhelmed with it all. Mary Ellen from Planning with Bumble and Jojo from Mojo Jojo Plans says that this happens from time to time and sometimes you just need a break from your planners, and not to feel guilty about it. You'll know when you're ready to jump back in to your planners.
Hi 👋🏾 Kendra, I am so wanting you to show your other spreads because when you flip your pages over to do your spreads, I see a peek at your other beautiful creations. I am sending this link to encourage you to do your back-planning😅!! I’m sure 👍🏾 others get behind too, this planner community is so very busy 😢! You’ll get there!! The Patreons I’m on, the the planners are BUSY!! It’s a lot of work but o get all those spreads out and do after-the-pen, I’m sure 👍🏾!! Don’t be hard on yourself, prayers for 😊& rooting for you, Arlene th-cam.com/video/JyX-T5Zsr-k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lltSE7uVCDN-6msY

I like the idea of separate videos and not just one huge one.
Thank you so much for the feedback!

You got this! It’s hard I know, I’m there now but you’ll get back to it 💪🏾
I'm behind too. I have just been both tired and busy. I'm going to try to catch up this week.
Same girl! Same! 😮💨
Don’t put pressure to get it done. Also bulk record helps, I do spreads for the month to avoid the funk or maybe 2 spreads every other week
My husband suggested I batch film too but I just feel after doing 4 videos or so in a day my whole energy shifts
I just know I get into a funk every year for a few weeks during the winter time. I am sending you blessings that you find your way out of the struggles you are having now. Believe and you will overcome it.
Nice spread Kendra.
Maybe it’s the layout. Or it’s time to try digital planning 😉
I love the layout, that part hasn’t changed.

Same girl same! I’ll do it tomorrow, I haven’t decorated it yet, once I decorate then I’ll write in it…. 3 days later whoops it never happened.

Your bujo sounds fun! I’m sure it’ll get all your creative juices flowing again. 😃
