why skipping a week in your planner isn’t failure

Here’s something most planner companies don’t want you to hear: you do not have to use your planner every single day to get value from it.


There was a week last year I didn’t even open mine. We had family in town, spent most of our time outside, and the “plan” was basically “eat, play, sleep.” My old planners would have left me with a bunch of wasted, empty pages, a silent guilt trip. Everytime I opened them and saw all the blank wasted space i’d think your just wasting your money, why do you do this every year? I really did love planning though and it brought a lot of value to my life, I just missed weeks or a lot of the pages weren’t relevant to my life. But with my system, I just picked up where we left off, no wasted space, no shame.


Life is seasonal. Some weeks need detailed structure, some don’t. Your planner should respect both. That’s why the Life in Rhythm pages aren’t locked to dates and have options. Got a light week and just need a vague overview of what's going on? We’ve got that. Jam packed week and need to play planner Tetris to make it all happen. We’ve got that too. You’ve got options and you can pause, skip, and resume without the guilt. Your planner works for YOU.
