Erin Condren Monthly Calendars (VIDEO)
When I was a new planner girl years ago, I considered the monthly spreads in the Erin Condren Life Planner just excess space that I didn't need. But quickly I learned this is where you have two planners in one, and now I'm obsessed with these monthly layouts!
That's right.
In my first Erin Condren Life Planner years ago,
I literally skipped over the whole monthly calendar spread for each month.
To me, planning in my weekly and daily sections was plenty.
Why would I write out birthdays, school events, yada yada a second time,
in a second section of the planner.
Ain't nobody got time for double planning, girl.
But then things started getting more serious with my online work at Milk Allergy Mom.
And I contemplated buying a second planner for business.
But then again, work wasn't that complex.
Certainly I didn't need another entire planner for Milk Allergy Mom blogging.
That's when it dawned on me.
Jamie, you aren't using the monthly spreads in your life planner.
That should be enough. Use it for your blogging.
And you guys, my planner has been maximized ever since.
Honestly I can say that now life, school, calendar, budget, goals, self-care, health...
AND business are all tracked in my ONE Erin Condren Life Planner.
See how it's totally work sixty bucks to me?

Maybe you aren't a blogger.
Legit. lol
But perhaps you're like many of our other planner friends.
You make and sell leather earrings. You're an oily girl. You sell wax burners. Etc.
Or whatever your hobby or side gig may be...
maybe the monthly layouts in your Erin Condren are the perfect place to manage that.
Imagine how much smoother your side hustle would be if it was organized and planned!
Ok, maybe you have no side business.
You don't have to have one to use the monthly spread in a functional, helpful way.
In the video in this post, you will hear why I like to designate this monthly spread to any life category.
But I do like it to be just one category, all in one glorious place.
Maybe you haven't found the perfect place in your planner for self-care, health tracking, school...
Any category that doesn't have enough room in your weekly spreads,
think about using in your monthly calendar!
That's exactly what I did with Milk Allergy Mom work,
and it has been awesome.
If there's a category you want organized and tracked all in one place,
with no distractions,
the monthly spread may just be the perfect place for you.
Even within each day of the month,
I have several things I need to do for Milk Allergy Mom.
An email to our community.
A Facebook post for our community.
A post for our members.
And I can track each of those tasks in a daily box in the monthly.
There's even a lined column perfect for making lists each month. Dreamy!
It's perfect and something I plan to keep doing with my planners for a long time.
I would LOVE to know how you plan to use your monthly calendar spreads in your Erin Condren Planner.
