 Hello beautiful people! I'm Amy and I live in the pacific northwest with my husband and two kiddos. As you've probably guessed, I love everything related to analog planning! I was OBSESSED with ring planners 25 years ago. I was newly married and I loved being able to carry everything I needed to organize my life in my planner. I had a big beefy Franklin Covey zip binder with handles and it went everywhere with me. Fast forward to 2010 when I got my very first smartphone. My analog planner soon fell by the wayside, replaced by the plethora of planning and organizing apps available at the touch of a button. I loved being able to easily customize things on my phone, my apps, my wallpaper, my fonts...you get the idea. During this time we had two kids and I had started my own little graphic design business. I had also been diagnosed as an adult with Autism level 1 (what was formerly known as Aspergers) and ADHD. My diagnoses helped answer the question, "why do I always feel so unorganized when I am trying so, SO hard". Turns out I was getting "squirrel syndrome" and would jump from app to app never quite accomplishing my tasks or goals before jumping to the next shiny thing on the screen. In 2020 I randomly came across a YouTube video that talked about paper planners. I was genuinely surprised that people still used them! I learned about how paper planning had evolved over the last 20 years. And not only that, but with my background in graphic design, I now had the ability to design my own inserts, tabs, page finders, and decorative elements. I. WAS. HOOKED.  Planning on paper really works with my AuDHD brain without all the digital distractions. It helps me focus on what matters most in my life and be more present with my family. Join me on YouTube and Instagram for planner flips, DIY tutorials, unboxings, and more! Welcome to Amybeth Plans! |
