Intentionally U Planner FAQ

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy this FAQ. If you have any other questions that I have not answered regarding the Intentionally U Planner, email me at allison@allisonpowers.com. I would love to answer your question!

My prayer is that this planner would first and foremost help you create a habit of seeking the Lord daily. The rest of this planner pales in comparison to the importance of daily time with the Lord. Master that habit before moving onto anything else :-).

Why did you create this planner?

A few months back I felt the Lord calling me to create something that would help women like me live their daily life with more intention, beginning with quiet time in the Word and in prayer. Then also to help women focus on important self-care tasks and housekeeping tasks that often go undone in the busyness of home and family life. 

The Intentionally U Planner is 100% in response to that calling. I have spent a great deal of time in prayer over this project and allowed the Lord to guide me and tweak things along the way. He even stopped my printer at one point to make something clear to me (I will explain later)! This journey has been a learning curve for sure! I do believe that there is still tweaking to be done, but we are at a place where we can release the first edition of the Intentionally U Planner!  

Why is the Intentionally U Planner only a 6-month planner?

Let me begin by saying this process has been a really big learning experience. When God told me to start the process of creating this, I literally had NO idea where to start. After contacting multiple publishers and printing companies, I decided that I would have the most control over the design and price if I set up my own print shop right at home! Yep, I currently print and assemble every planner in home!

With that being said, I had to do a lot of research in purchasing my own equipment, paper, wire binding, etc. Having never done anything like this before I did a decent job of getting most of it right… except the binding machine! Eeek! It is only capable of binding a certain thickness. I have reached that with the 6-month planner! A 12-month planner might be in the future goal, but for now a 6 month planner is what I will be offering.

I personally love the idea of a 6-month planner and I have actually received a lot of positive feedback regarding it! A lot of people like the idea of starting with a fresh, clean planner midway through the year. I am starting wonder if perhaps it was part of God’s plan in this…

Is there a place to jot down dates for the July-Dec months that are not included in this planner?

YES! In the front of the planner there is a sheet labeled “Dates to Remember Jul to Dec”. There is a separate box for each month and a small calendar of each month. This will allow you to jot important dates down so they can be easily transferred to your next planner!

What sections will be in the planner?

• 2-page monthly spread
• Intentionally U Weekly Planning sheets following each month which help you lay out a blueprint for your week including tasks such as Bible reading, Prayer, Exercise, Housecleaning, Meal schedule, goal setting and more!
• Meal planning sheets with a tear-out grocery list
• Prayer Journal built right into the planner
• Food Journal also built right into the planner

Where can I purchase the planner?

Right here on this site! I will update this post with the exact link once the shop goes live tomorrow (Tuesday, December 11) at 6 AM EST.

Why did you include a Prayer Journal and Food Journal in the planner?

I love notebooks, I am a total paper and pen person. With that being said, I seemed to have a notebook for everything and I was growing tired of having a seperate notebook for each thing. 

I decided to create this planner so everything is in one place!

Are there training videos to accompany this planner?

Yes! My prayer is that women wouldn’t just buy this planner, but actually use it to live life intentionally beginning with their relationship with Christ!

Please be sure to check out the Intentionally U Training Videos so that you can get the most out of using this planner!

If I can’t master it all right away, where should I begin?

If it overwhelms you to think about planning out housework and meals and exercise… STOP. First master the habit of seeking after the Lord daily and then worry about the rest. He will ultimately guide you in how He would like you to use this tool.

The Lord calls us to seek Him daily so that He can guide our steps. He also calls us to be good stewards of our homes, bodies and families (which is why I have included tools for planning exercise, meals, prayer, cleaning, and nutrition). However, if we aren’t seeking Him daily and immersing ourselves in His word regularly, then we will not be equipped to be the good stewards He has called us to be!

First master the habit of a regular Quiet Time, then move on to another new habit.

In Summary…

I pray that my message comes through loud and clear that my desire is that this planner will be used as a tool to help women live life intentionally beginning with seeking after the Lord.

Don’t forget to check out the Intentionally U videos once they go live so you can get the most out of this planner!
