How to Use A-Z Tabs in a Planner

As I put in my post about my first planner, I used A – Z tabs. To me, this was the easiest way to organize everything I had in my planner.

I used it as a dump all of sorts. A filing cabinet if you will.

In a filing cabinet, you tend to sort things in a way that’s easy for you based off a letter from the alphabet. You have everything in alphabetical order within the drawers to help locate items easily.

For example, your items could be grouped under C for Car, D for Doctor, and T for Taxes. You would then put everything relating to that category in that folder.

That’s exactly what I had set up in my planner. The A – Z tabs represented my filing cabinet. I “filed” items under the letters that I would most likely look for them if they were in a real filing cabinet.

If you were wondering, I got my A – Z tabs from Amazon.

Note: Some of the inserts are linked to the shop I purchased them from.

I didn’t list them above, but behind some of the tabs, I have some lined paper for notes. You can purchase some made specifically for this planner here.

As mentioned above, I have linked to the store the inserts were purchased from. If you would like to know more about a specific insert that I use, please let me know!

This area is meant to be constantly under construction. You will be adding and removing items as needed.

I hope that this was helpful for you in your planner Journey! Have you ever used A – Z tabs in your binder or planner? How did you like it?
