Midyear 2023 planner that is a great option for someone who wants to test run digital planning.

When I simply have too many things to do and am overwhelmed, I tend to shut down and simply try to wing it from day to day. I barely check the monthly page of my planner for things I had scheduled and mapped out for that month. I don't even look at my weekly vertical layout, list of things to do, freezer inventory, or meal plan. I just let it be. This, however, resulted in me being less productive. Hence a new planner layout!

In this post, I will briefly talk about the notetaking styles I use and show examples. Note (ha, pun intended) that I am in medicine, specifically in pathology residency. We study materials that are heavy in text details (hello, molecular markers) but that are also picture-heavy (all those gross and microscopic images of disease entities!). The styles depend on the reference text, primarily, and the amount of time I have.

I have designed a weekly and daily digital planner for 2023, complete with functional and intuitive hyperlinks. It is minimalist, customizable, and can help you be more productive.

Since I have been unsatisfied with previous digital planner purchases (they either had too much or too little), I simply decided to design my own minimalist planner that suited my workflow, organizational preferences, and aesthetics.

Both as a personal note to myself and because I sometimes get asked, I will be posting laid-back recipes (or maybe they are more like guides) on this blog. These laid-back recipes are not for everyone, especially those who are very particular. In our house, they are tried and tested, and we don't mind the variations. Plus, we definitely love the time and money we save, as well as the tasty meals we share!
