Who is ready for some planning fun? Join us for ABCs of Planning!
We thought it would be fun to compile a list of favorite words and lingo used by planner girls. Planner Squad loves to chat about all things planners and we have been putting together a list of planner terms.
Are your favorite planning words in our alphabetical list?
What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of planning and each letter?
Jot down your ABCs of Planning and compare to our list. Make sure to comment at the end with your results!
Oh, and bonus points if you can think of more words for the letters “Q”, “X”, and “Z” to add to our ABCs of Planning!
is for Planner ADDICT. The planning world is a beautiful place that is hard to leave. So much glitter and colors!
B: is for Bullet Journal. Do you love to bujo? This functional form of planning can on a whole new look when a bit of stickers and washi tape are mixed in, don’t ya think?
C: is for Charms. Planner charms are so pretty and great ways to customize your planners. Make sure to stop by the Planner Squad Shoppe August 1 to get exclusive Squadette planner charms!
