Gracie's Happy Planner Weekly Dashboard for an Organized Home!
Episode 635
Free Planner Workshop: simplyconvivial.com/planner | Are you tired of buying planners that end up half-filled, abandoned, or stuffed in a drawer by March? You’re not alone.
In this episode of the Simply Convivial Podcast, I talk with Gracie—a homeschooling mom of nine who has learned how to make her planner work with her busy, interrupted days. She shares the simple systems she’s landed on after lots of trial and error: a wall calendar, a two-page weekly Happy Planner spread, color coding for routines vs. events, and her game-changing weekly review habit.
We also dig into:
✔ How to set up a planner you’ll actually look at every day
✔ Why a weekly review is the secret to consistency
✔ How to separate homeschool and homemaking tasks so your planner isn’t cluttered
✔ The surprising power of “checkmarks” and “notes to self” for staying encouraged
If you’ve ever wondered why your planner doesn’t work for you—or if you’re searching for a simple way to stay on top of your home without getting lost in perfectionism—this conversation will give you both encouragement and practical ideas you can put into practice right away.
