Free Planner Printables: August

Hi guys! It’s Larisa from the I Heart Planners Team! Sometimes it feels like a dream that I get to work on these beautiful planner packs every month – from coming up with the illustrations to sketching printables that help women get and stay organized – it definitely feels too good to be true! I’m so excited to show you the August pack, and how I use it to plan my month.

If you follow our Instagram account, you know that I’m a big fan of planning in digital and print. I use both my Google Calendar and paper. I plan my quarters and years in my Google Calendar, and every month when the Bonus Monthly Packs are released in the club, I print them out and plan my month on paper.

It’s so important to plan this way for me. If  I only use Google Calendar, I tend to forget about upcoming events. If I  only use my planner I sometimes forget to bring it with me everywhere. So planning in digital and print is the best of both worlds for me – especially necessary now that I’m a working mom!

After I print out the bonus monthly pack, I write all the main events in the monthly planner. Birthdays, parties, vacations, and big events get written in right away. Then I add in office hours and any meetings or appointments. Pretty standard stuff, but when I skip this step I find myself stumbling over our schedule, double-booking myself or the family, and overall I’m just way more stressed.

After our month is planned, I double check that I have enough working days in the calendar. Since I work from home, I have to carefully plan child care in order to be able to get all my work done. If I need to schedule a babysitter for an extra day I like doing that early enough at the beginning of the month so that I’m not left hanging with a toddler and a looming deadline.

Once all those basics are taken care of, I see if we have any free weekends or nights that can be filled with either cleaning or a social event. I’ll text friends that we’ve been meaning to get together with our available dates and try to get a dinner or play date on the calendar!
