Join Organized October: simplyconvivial.com/october - A planner only works if it fits real life. In this Simply Convivial episode, Mystie Winckler talks with Convivial Circle mentor member Rachael Younger about how she uses bullet journaling to keep a working weekly spread.

Draws a simple weekly spread during her review in just 15–20 minutes

Uses daily cards and Post-its to stay focused

Keeps track of food spending, gardening, and routines in one place

Adds space for brain dumps, book lists, and meal plans

Experiments and iterates without pressure to be artistic
