Hello, friends!

If you are overwhelmed by the "New Year, New Me" big resolution mentality of an approaching new year, consider a "soft launch" into the new year, instead!

I'm using the Wisdom & Wonder Classic Inserts for planning. I found that the first day of 2026 lands on a Thursday, which meant I had a whole blank planner page to use however I wanted. I decided to write a little note to myself, encouraging my soft launch mentality for the new year. To do this, I used a piece of paper from the Wisdom & Wonder Creative Kit to cover the vertical columns on the page. From here, I created a title using alpha stickers from the Wisdom and Wonder Classic Cousin Sticker Kit and the Wisdom and Wonder Memory Keeping Sticker Kit. After I finished journaling, I embellished the page with rub-on's, PET stickers, a decorative card, and word strip stickers from the collection. This spread is a great reminder that when the world feels like it's speeding up, I can still slow down.

On the opposite page, I turned on the colorblock pages into a little pocket for more notes to myself. To make the pocket, I adhered the bottom and top of the folded page to the back page. So easy! For easy flipping, I adhered a tab from the Wisdom and Wonder Planner Kit to the page. 

Now let's talk planning! I love having a system that works with these Wisdom & Wonder Classic Inserts so well.  I use the alpha stickers from the Wisdom and Wonder Planner Kit to label each row for "Must Do", "Today", and "Maybe". Notice, I only have three checkboxes for my must-dos each day. This is to help me clarify what is actually urgent versus what feels urgent. I like to sprinkle in icon stickers where I can, too.

I normally document my Little Wins and Glimmers, an important part of my daily reflection, in a weeks notebook, but I wanted to switch things up and try using the color block pages that come with the Wisdom & Wonder Classic Inserts for this purpose. I used the checklist area to remind myself what I consider a little win and glimmer, and filled each day with daily examples of each from the week. Documenting daily wins and glimmers is a great way to celebrate yourself and your goals, whatever they may be.
