Is perfectionism ruining your planner?
Episode 643
simplyconvivial.com/planner - Perfectionism is ruining your planner. Here’s how to stop it.
Are you spending more time setting up your planner than actually using it? Do coffee drips, toddler scribbles, or a misspelled word make you want to start over from scratch? Or do you avoid using your planner until it feels “complete”?
Those are all perfectionism traps—and they’re why your planner isn’t working.
In this episode of Simply Convivial, I’m sharing three ways perfectionism shows up in your planner habits and how to dismantle it. If you want an organized mom life with less stress, you need to build habits that make planning flexible, practical, and useful—not perfect.
You’ll learn:
Why over-decorating or over-planning is wasted time.
How to stop avoiding your planner when life gets messy.
Simple planner tips for moms to actually use what you’ve written down.
A planner isn’t meant to be flawless—it’s meant to help you live your real life with wisdom.
