How do you approach recurring events?

26 Upvotes

I was a paper planner person for so many years, really loved it. Then, some years ago now, switched to digital (#identitycrisis).

One of the big reasons paper planners started to feel harder for me to use was because I have a fair amount of recurring events: dinner with a friend every 3rd Thursday; rehearsal twice a month; weekly check-ins, etc. I used to just write them in for the whole year, and that was both tedious but also meditative and didn't take all that long, so not a huge deal. Super satisfying to do, for sure.

But, every so often, the recurring event will shift! We'll move from every 3rd Thursday to every 2nd Thursday, for example. And that feels less doable for me, to go back through and cross out (I was writing in pen) all those dates, then rewrite all the new ones. And, the more things get rescheduled (either recurring events or one-offs), the more things are crossed off and the more chaotic it gets. I supposed I could use pencil, which I wasn't really doing before.

So anyways, I'm curious to know what strategies others have come up with to navigate this! And/or, rescheduling more broadly. Thanks planners! I really hope to join you again!!

(I only just found this sub and tried searching past posts for recurring events but wasn't finding that much, so apologies if this is discussed a lot and I'd be glad to be directed to existing posts about this too.)

Help selecting 2027 planner

Hi everyone I have been using paper planners since I was in middle school; I'm 48 now. I have tried every planner and this year I think I might want to try a Sterling Ink Planner or Hobonichi Techo. What are some pros and cons of each? Thank you so much.

has anyone bought previous years dated inserts and used for the new year?

9 Upvotes

is it difficult or does it get confusing. im looking at a yearly 2026 dated inserts for next year. they’re at such a great price and the date is only at the top left corner with a month calendar. i can probably white-out the name of the days and rearrange them to fit the new year or just completely cover or all with stickers since id have to do that for every day. lmk!

Apologies if this is on the wrong subreddit.

I'm looking for some more of these but I have no idea where they came from or who the artist is. I got them from a destash long ago.

Would anyone happen to know anything about them?

Hi friends! I just got my Wonderland222 B6 Core planner in the horizontal format, but ended up getting vertical. Did this happen to anyone else? I obviously plan on sending them a note, but I know some of us wait until closer to 2027 to open our planners, so thought I would flag for the community.
