The Guide:
Hey There! So nice to see you, thanks for using the Genuinely Ginger planner for all the things! Here are a few explanations and tips to get your started off on the right food!
TIPS & TOOLS
As a rule of thumb, your pen of choice should use ink that is not alcohol based, as it will cause bleeding.
BALLPOINT/GEL
Ballpoint, as well as most gel pens, water based pens and of course, colored pencils, are all good tools of choice!
SHARPIE
Do not use sharpie (unless no bleed), prismacolor, or any "permanent" and or alcohol based pens.
RECOMMENDED
My favorite pens include the following:
-
Staedtler Triplus Fineliner
-
Koi Brush Pens
-
Zebra dual tip Midliner, mild ink.
-
Tombow dual end brush pen
The Key
YOUR KEY IS WHAT YOU USE TO INDICATE WHAT TYPE OF NOTE YOU'RE MAKING. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT IT IS "INTERACTIVE". IF YOU COMPLETE A TASK HALF WAY THROUGH, YOU ONLY FILL IT IN HALF WAY, AND FULLY ONCE COMPLETED! TO MOVE IT TO A DIFFERENT DAY, YOU STRIKE AN ARROW THROUGH IT, AND TO CANCEL, YOU PLACE AN "X" OVER IT. YOUR KEY SHOULD MAKE SENSE TO YOU, MY ADVICE IS TO KEEP IT SIMPLE!
HERE IS A SAMPLE KEY:
A FEW MORE THINGS BEFORE YOU GET STARTED...
THE INDEX
THE INDEX IS ALREADY PRE-FILLED WITH ALL THE PAGES THAT ALREADY EXIST IN YOUR BOOK. THE MONTH PAGES ARE LABELED AND READY FOR YOU TO ADD WHICH MONTH FALLS ON THAT PAGE. ALL THE PAGE NUMBERS THAT ARE BLANK ARE OPEN FOR WHEN YOU DECIDE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE!
ORDER OF PAGES:
THE "WAD" IS ORGANIZED IN ALTERNATING FOUR AND FIVE WEEK PERIODS, WITH A MONTHLY PAGE, MONTH IN REVIEW PAGE, AND A BLANKS PAGE IN BETWEEN. JUST START ON MONDAY AND KEEP GOING. THE MONTHLY PAGE WILL FALL EITHER A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH OR A FEW AFTER. WHILE IT IS IDEAL TO START USING YOUR WAD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH, YOU CAN SKIP TO THE APPROPRIATE WEEK IF YOU'RE JUST TOO EXCITED TO WAIT!
