Bring those notebooks and planners posing as shelf queens and see how they can support you to be the queen - or king - of your life.
About this Event

These days, there are so many companies and coaches saying that their offering is just the thing you need to make your life perfect - but the reality is, nothing is guaranteed, and no one thing answers to perfection.

What does this have to do with planners, you ask? Some people are stuck, frozen even, in getting to use their planner, a planner - any planner! - because of the fear that it won’t work out. Why bother trying?

I’m here to say that planners are worth the bother. Or to put it a different way, you are worth using planners for.

If you are interested in getting started with using a planner or a journal, come join me on November 29. This time is set aside for a bit of learning, a good chunk of quiet time, and generally a safe space away from our daily chaos for reflection and exploration of possibilities.

I will share my journey with planners and cover some different planner layouts, styles, and papers. I will bring planners which I have tried to use in some way in the past, and will answer what questions I can based on my experience. The rest of the time will be for you to take whatever thoughts springboard from my sharing and reflect, process, and maaaybe even make some decisions. Hunker down with others who are also carving out space and time in their lives, away from home distractions, societal busy-ness, and shopping temptations.

If you'd like to hear more from me, inluding a short post on which planners I'll be bringing, please check out my Substack or Patreon.

I hope to see you on the 29th!

Agenda

🕑: 02:30 PM - 02:45 PM
Settling and centering

Info: Come in and take a moment to "coat check" what you don't want to bring into this time so you can make the most of this session. Basically, leave as much of your emotional and mental baggage at the door.


🕑: 02:45 PM - 03:15 PM
Welcome and planner introductions
Host: Ada Wang

Info: Welcome time! I'll briefly review what our time is for, share a bit of my planner journey, and introduce some planner formats that you can explore. I will also share a little bit of my own planner system I call "Jarvis".


🕑: 03:15 PM - 03:30 PM
Break for a stretch, stretch for a break

Info: Time to get up and move before we hunker down for some quiet time with our bound papers and reflections.


🕑: 03:30 PM - 04:15 PM
Study Period

Info: During this time, we will have lo-fi music playing while everyone sits with their thoughts and whatever notebooks/planners they have brought. This is to be time individually spent, so we ask all attendees to refrain from speaking unless necessary. To facilitate a productive time, we ask everyone to keep any talking to a library whisper.


🕑: 04:15 PM - 04:30 PM
Wrap up and pack up

Info: Attendees may start packing up at this time, and normal noise levels will resume. The last 5 minutes will be used for anyone who wants to share a reflection or realization they had during this time.
