You know when they say somebody is setting themselves up to fail?
Here is a perfect example. She has not one, but six (?) planners. She’s separating various goals and things she wants to achieve into six parts, which makes it six times harder to write things down, keep track, and follow it.
Visual people do find planners helpful. It’s nice to look at the entire month and see what’s happening. In most planners, there is usually a monthly spread, then a section for days of that month, then an area for notes. Plus, those Happy type planners Amber got are expandable and she could add on weight loss sections, whatever if she wants.
That’s all she needs. One. Adding in five more defeats the purpose of setting goals down and keeping track, makes it more confusing and difficult and ensures she’ll quit. She’s not even calendaring events, work functions, meetings, school plays, visits to family, doctor appointments, which is what most do. Her days are aimless so she’s trying to fill them up -she can’t fill one up so she gets six! She’ll have nothing in them but stickers.
How is she going to feel in March when she has not one, but six, empty planners? Successful?
It’s almost like she wants to fail. This is the worst way to do something.
Sure, there are people who have lots of planners-because they are making YouTube videos in the planner category! Nobody in real life has“twenty”. Maybe one small one for handbag and then a large one for home or work is all anybody needs.
She spends so much money on crap. 400.00 on planners and stickers, when 40.00 would do the same thing.
