Daily Duo Planning with D. Christine

How I Use PlannerKate’s Daily Duo Sticker Kits in My Work Planner

If you're a fellow Erin Condren Daily Duo user and love a good planning shortcut that still looks cute and keeps you organized—let me tell you about my go-to setup with PlannerKate sticker kits.

When it comes to daily planning, especially for work, I’m all about function and efficiency. While the PlannerKate Daily Duo kits are perfect, sometimes I skip the full kit and stick with two essentials: the washi set and a couple of PK functional sheets. That combo is more than enough to create a cohesive layout without taking a ton of time to pull together.

Why I Love the Daily Duo for Work Planning

I use my Daily Duo exclusively as my work planner, and the layout just makes sense for how my brain works during the day. The timed column is perfect for blocking out routine tasks that tend to eat up larger chunks of my time—think reporting, check-ins, or client calls.

On the other side, the to-do list captures all the extras: smaller action items, one-off requests, and new tasks that pop up throughout the day. It’s a simple way to keep my day balanced and reactive without losing sight of my recurring priorities.

My Favorite PlannerKate Staples

Here’s what usually makes it onto my daily spread:

• Scalloped Labels: These are my ride or die. I use them to group tasks by theme (hello, batching!) or to make recurring items stand out. They're functional and give my page a polished look.

• Washi Strips: I typically place these at the top or bottom of the page—or even down the middle as a divider. It's a low-effort way to bring in color and tie the whole layout together.

• Black & White Icon + Flag Combos: I love using these to mark meetings, deadlines, or calls. The clean, monochrome icons are super versatile and keep the layout from looking too busy while still catching my eye when I scan the page.

• Mini Time Labels: These are chef’s kiss for blocking off meetings or calls. I layer them right on the time column so they stand out instantly.

  
  
  

  

  

  

  
  
  
  
  

Final Thoughts

Using a simplified Daily Duo setup with just washi and functional stickers from PlannerKate has been a game-changer. It’s fast, it’s flexible, and it still gives me a clean, aesthetic layout that keeps me motivated to stay organized at work.

Whether you're deep in your planning journey or just trying to streamline your setup, don’t sleep on these sticker combos. Sometimes less really is more—especially when you’ve got a planner that works as hard as you do.
