Sharing is caring!

It’s DAY 6 of my planner series, and I’m talking all about the most recent addition to my planning regime- my daily petite planner folio system.

In case you missed days 4 (Life Planner Setup) and 5 (monthly and weekly spreads), I shared an in-depth look into the Erin Condren Life Planner. For years, that was the only planner I used.

While it is definitely my favorite planner, I often felt that there just wasn’t enough room for my daily lists. I found myself reaching for notepads often to jot down my to-dos.

All my problems were solved when Erin Condren introduced the planner folio system, which includes the daily petite planner. I added this planner system to my routine in January, and I AM HOOKED!

The Folio System

This system is designed to be used with the leather-bound folio, which comes in a variety of colors. You fill the folio with up to 4 petite planners that fit your lifestyle. There are so many to choose from.

They offer a daily planner, monthly planner, wellness journal, meal planner, plain notebooks, gratitude journals and so much more. I like this system because it is great for on-the-go planning. The books are small enough to toss in your purse individually or you can take them all in the folio.

Daily Petite Planner

The daily petit planners are quarterly books; each one includes three months of the year. I use this planner for my day-to-day productivity.

The great thing about this planner is that it is so versatile. On one side of the page, there is a designated checklist. The other side is lined and is divided into three subsections. I love that you can make this your own.

I personally use the three sections as my daily habits that I try to complete in the morning, day, and evening. There are many other ways to use these sections. You can label them home, work, and personal, or you can designate a section for yourself, your kids, and your job.

I’ve also seen people write out the hours of the day down the side and turn it into a makeshift hourly planner. Here is a picture of how I like to use my planner. A quick search on Instagram will give you tons of other ways to use this planner.

I don’t do much decorating in my daily planner. Every now and then I pop in a motivational quote sticker for inspiration, but for the most part I keep it simple.

To set it up each week, all I do is put in the headers (morning, today, and evening) from Planner Kate and these checklists from Fern Creek Stickers. I then write in my daily habits, which stay the same for the entire week.

Each night before bed, I fill in my to-do list for the next day. I transfer over anything that didn’t get completed that day and then add anything new tasks I need to work on.

This system has done wonders for increasing my productivity. There is something about getting to check off off the tasks I complete that keeps me extra motivated!

Now you have gotten a really in-depth look into my entire planning routing. From preplanning, to planning my months and weeks, to organizing my days, this is how I keep my life in order and my stress level low.

Come back tomorrow for the FINAL DAY of my planner series that will include a BIG SURPRISE! Also, if you missed any of the previous posts from this week, you can find them below:
