Aw gluesticks!! That’s the only thing my system lacks. ;-) I’ve been a fan of gluesticks ever since 2nd grade when the boys started eating the glue and I knew it was time for an alternative – haha!
Go you for using the world’s most awesome 2nd-grade-boy deterrent. Heehee!

That is such a great idea! I wish I had thought of that when I was planning.

I ended up with various different planning binders (one from the knot, a real simple one, scraps of paper, etc), and never really stuck to any of them, so my info was scattered all over the place.

One thing that really worked for me when I was thinking of ideas and inspiration was to grab a small moleskine notebook and cut out pictures of things that I saw in magazines, or printed off the internet. I then used an old-school style gluestick (yeah, elementary school supplies!) and glued them all over the pages. I wrote down key words and ideas next to the images and brought it with me whenever I went to our reception location to talk to our coordinator, or any other vendors. It is actually a really nice keepsake, now.

Great ideas, Kate! This system will be so helpful for many people just starting out!!

I ended up making my own word document pages for my 3-ring planner that I bought – I love having a paper planner, but I found that I do so much on the computer that there was no way I could fill them all out by hand.

However, in Law school I was a OneNote ADDICT, and I WISH I had known about your concept at the beginning and had thought to use it – as I read your post, I immediately thought about how much easier my life would have been if I had…
