When I brought my 2020 Jan-Dec Passion Planner last year, I wanted to personalize the functionality of my planner. I wanted to incorporate things I saved on my #BUJO Pinterest board in addition to browsing Etsy for inspiration.

Here are a few Passion Planner hacks that I created for 2020:

Item #1: Make monthly tabs with washi tape

I had a lot of black and white patterned washi tape rolls lying around. I loved the look of flushed tabs and cut pieces of washi tape to make my own monthly tabs.

I also used the washi tape to mark off miscellaneous pages in the back of the planner.

Item #2: DIY reading list with Google Docs

The reading list is a table with columns for the date I finished the book, the name of the book, author name, and a 1-5 rating scale (1-awful and 5-fantastic). I taped the chart to a blank page in the back of my planner.

Item #3: DIY bill payment tracker with Google Docs

This is another table that has the name of the bill and the beginning balance at the top. There are columns for the date of payment, payment amount, and the ending balance after each payment. Keeping track of the payments keeps me motivated.

Item #4: Yearly memories tracker

When I write my end of year post, I often struggled to remember what I did. This year, I created a 2-page memory tracker that’s broken down by month. Throughout the year, I jot down my accomplishments, memories, etc. that I don’t want to forget. It feels good to look at the tracker from time to time.
