Hey Tombow Friends! This is Jennie with a few tips to get organized! The new school year is almost here, and I want to help you create a planning routine that works for you.
Supplies:
- Tombow TwinTones Dual Tip Markers (Any writing instrument will work, but these are my favorite.)
- Planner or Journal
- Tombow MONO Air Touch Refillable Correction Tape
Tip #1: A Place for everything and everything in its place.
Whether you have a Storage Tote bag or an office, having a place for everything it’s key to organize. It makes finding your items and cleaning up faster and more efficient. Throughout the years I have changed my organizing methods and styles. It’s okay to try different things until you find one that suits your needs.
Tip #2: Create a planning routine.
Everyone’s planning routine looks different. You can choose to do it monthly, weekly, or even every day. This will not only influence your routine, but also what kind of planner you choose. I like to plan at the beginning of the week. 
Every Monday, I bring a cup of coffee to my desk and I grab my cup with the Tombow TwinTone Dual Tip Markers from the pegboard and I bring them to my desk. I have a weekly undated planner. The planner that you pick must match your needs. There is not a one size fits all when it comes to planners.
I also have a desk weekly planner. Here I add all my chores and projects for the week. I like this design because I have a main list with all the chores and projects, then I select my priorities and I spread them during the week. While my planner goes into my backpack, this stays in my office where I can see it.
Tip #3: Color coding for the win!
The Tombow TwinTone Dual Tip Markers write like a dream, but I love that I get 36 colors. One of my go to techniques that I have been using since middle school, is to assign a color to each subject, person, kind of appointment, or type of project. The felt tip is a great way to make really important things pop.
Whenever I want a little change of scenery I go to my deck or the library. This Tombow Zippered Marker Storage Case is perfect for bringing my Tombow TwinTone Dual Tip Markers on the go. I customized this Tombow Zippered Marker Storage Case. You can see how I did it in this post.
Tip #4: Make planning easy and relaxing!
Besides drinking coffee, I also like to listen to Lo-fi or a Podcast. Find a comfy place and create a nice ambiance. You can go to a coffee place, the library or go on a picnic.
Tip #5: Add other cute sprinkles!
I love stickers and washi tape! Sometimes I add these to my planning spreads. I choose the washi and stickers based on the colors I’ve used. Since I already used lots of colors, I didn’t add too many embellishments.
Tip #6: Embrace your planning style and methods.
There are different planners, journals, and notebooks. There are different sizes and styles. Whatever you pick will depend on your needs. Trackers like these are popular in some planners and journals.
Besides my planner I also keep a reading journal. You can see a few pages in this post.
This is another of my walls where I keep my Tombow products stocked. I know exactly where to go when I run out of a product.
The Tombow MONO DustCatch Eraser is my favorite, I always make sure I have extra!
