Seeing Doubles

After welcoming in my new Kate Spade planner for my birthday, I did not want to wait till 2016 to start using the planner when the inserts start. So I went through the internet trying to find some horizontal inserts since I had only made vertical ones myself, I wanted to get used to the same style that the planner's inserts came with. I found these inserts that were just made recently by Wenda of Wendaful Designs.

Now, using two planners at the same time may seem a little crazy but I have my reasoning. I love my Happy Planner and I love my weekly planning sessions and decorating the entire week with stickers (especially those from Vintage Glam Studio). The one downside to the Me and My Big Ideas planner is the size, it is quite tall and thick so it is not the most ideal to bring around wherever I'm going and having my planner is very vital for me because I put all of my plans and my daily schedule in my planner.

My Happy Planner now only houses excessive decorations and all of my school work and my daily to-do lists. So now, I have my Kate Spade planner that is much smaller in size and more portable for me to be able to put in my purses, which tend to be on the smaller/medium sizes. Of course, my form of planning in this planner is completely different. I do not use any stickers in this planner because of the smaller size allotted to each day. I have gone back to putting washi tape on the inside of the inserts where the rings go through and go stamp happy to label certain aspects of each day. I know many people will think it is excessive that I just write pretty much the same thing over and just leave out my to-do lists into a second planner but I truly have already become reliant on having this planner in my purse wherever I go. Do any of you guys use multiple forms of planning such as a written planner along with your phone calendar, another app, or do you use multiple planners as well? Be sure to share your ways of planning with me. Till next time, happy planning.
