Charlie’s got some free planners too, which you might find that you could use instead:

They get updated monthly (so you’ll need to remember to go back and download ‘em each month).

Aw man…wish I was 16 with some money and debit card so I could buy this stuff…my family’s sorta tight on money, so my mum would never buy this stuff, she just pokes around for free downloadable stuff instead…grr. Ah well, now I got something for future reference.

[...] Not my work, but “work” in the abstract. When I was trying out Charlie Gilkey’s Blog Post Planners on the plane to SXSW, I jotted down “What is work (vs. leisure)”. And during [...]

Thanks Hilar and Karinne! They’re definitely a good resource for getting some clarity – I’m always skeptical whether someone else’s systems/methods will work for me, but Charlie really seems to “get” it, plus I found myself noticing the pitfalls (and rose-tinted glasses) in my usual approach..!

Thanks for the review Ali. I’d looked at these as I tend to be a productivity systems junkie, but not in depth as I’m not in a long-term planning headspace just now. Definitely useful for when I do get my creative mojo back, good to know they’ve already helped you with a potentially sticky Autumn.

Cheers, J.D. — the system will definitely continue to evolve (especially with Charlie’s planners!) and I’ll share progress here on Aliventures…

I like that you’ve shared how your personal planning system has looked at various points.

I’m always amazed at how by simply organizing information new ways, it helps us see our days or see our lives in empowering ways.

Archan, thanks, I’m not sure I’m exactly “collaborating” here (Charlie made the planners, I just liked them and reviewed them) but I agree feedback is a sort of collaboration-lite…

I’ll give Charlie more feedback privately (not so much in terms of improving these planners, but in terms of other stuff I’d like to see ) but the review wasn’t really the place for that!

And I completely agree with you about Charlie’s writing: Productive Flourishing is one of my favourite blogs because Charlie manages to communicate clearly and kindly, but with an academic rigour of thought.

Julius, cheers, hope you enjoy the planner if you do grab it!

Thanks for this clear and detailed review. I'm seriously considering taking this planner. Will also recommend it to my friends. .-= Julius´s last blog ..A Day Through The Eyes of a Blind Woman: Part 3 =-.
