Franklin Covey Compact: Week Two

Hello and welcome back! This is week two of my journey into using a Franklin Compact Planner the entire month of March 2025.

While I have run into a few small snags here and there, I would have to say that the first week was a success. While I’m not sold into moving into a compact right now, it is so cute to look at, and it’s a bit more portable for travelling.

I find a still have a lot of writing and planning to do on a daily basis, and so compact won’t be my “forever” planner (maybe not ever!), but it is fun to play around with.

Day 1: Monday, March 3, 2025:

We came back from Vancouver today. I tracked my expenses on a cut-away note today as I ran out of room on my day-on-two-pages. It wasn’t a bad thing — I’m pretty sure this is the very first time I have ever used a cutaway note page.

I was able to break my planner open on the plane. My husband was the lucky guy who got to sit beside our child on the airplane, and I sat beside this nicely quiet older gentleman. I planned out some of my day, and it was so nice to sit there in silence with a cup of coffee and just think about what I wanted to do. Moments like those, I think a lot of us take them for granted.

I’m hoping Tuesday will be a bit more of a quiet day. I will plan for tomorrow and I’ll see you guys then!

Day 2: Tuesday, March 4, 2025:

Good day! Today turned out to be a busy work day. There’s a difference for me…
