Plan With Me | Week of Mar 30 - Apr 5

Mar 30

Plan with me… but make it realistic. ✨

This is what my planners actually look like most weeks:

a to-do list that is most likely far too long
a few anchored plans
and plenty of space for life to do its thing…

I used to think planning had to be super structured to work, but honestly, this kind of flexible layout is what I come back to again and again.

Also currently: collecting Easter menu ideas from magazine pages like it’s 2003 and I refuse to apologize for it. 🩷

Tell me — are you a structured planner or a go-with-the-flow type of person?

✨ Plan With Me is a series where I share a peek at how I organize my week as an illustrator, blogger, and small business owner. It’s part planning session, part creative diary, and part gentle accountability.

Each week, I sit down with my planner and map out what’s ahead — creative work, blog posts, and the routines of everyday life.

If you like this kind of cozy behind-the-scenes routine, you can browse all the entries in the Plan With Me archive here.

A cozy “plan with me” setup featuring an open weekly planner filled with handwritten notes, surrounded by soft lighting and neutral-toned stationery on a desk.
