I recently had a request for another one of my school year day planners for the 2022-2023 school year. While I prepped a year-long 2022 day planner in late December 2021 (you can find that here and print accordingly), some people prefer a day planner that follows the school year.

I Want to Make a Difference
In a recent journaling exercise that I was working through, I was asked: “What do you want more than anything in the world?” At first, I was stumped … I couldn’t think of anything material that I wanted or needed.
