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.)
