Ten Minute Plans
One of the biggest pain points I’ve heard from those who are starting with planning and journaling is carving out time to plan. Luckily, planning does not have to be time consuming! Over on Instagram I’ve started a new series that features planner spreads that take just 10 minutes or less to create. These are simple, easy to follow planner pages that can help you get started planning. Be sure to follow me over on Instagram so you don’t miss an update.
If you use any of these spread ideas, please post and share! Just tag me/include the #tenminuteplans tag! You may be featured online!
Supplies:
Another trick I’m using for this series to quite literally lighten the load is to work with a limited supply set. I normally carry quite a collection of pens and tools around while I plan. For this series, I’m sticking to the basics:
This is one of my favorite journals to use. I love the dotted pages, the creamy page texture, and the hardcover option for travel and durability!
Tombow Pens are great for lettering, filling areas, and doing thick lines. I’m using one color for this series – black. Did you know you can buy colors individually online???
These are my go-to for water resistant permanent ink. I love the variety of thicknesses offered in this pack!
My favorite tool for drawing. You can use it to create circles in a wide variety of sizes. I find it much more accurate than a compass and it allows you to measure angles like a protractor as well. It’s also super portable since it’s flat.
Here is one of my favorite rulers. It’s not fancy, but the edge is crisp and lays flat against the page.
Example Spreads
Here is the first set of spreads. I’m so excited to share these. They were all easy to do, take less than ten minutes, and can easily be modified to fit your journal or planner theme! Leave a comment if you like any of these or have spreads you’d like to see posted here!
