My guest says it so well...

PlannerPolice started in 2015 as a total joke. People were saying in planner groups "Do what you want! There's no Planner Police."  LOL, so I started being PlannerPolice on Instagram. 

I also used it as a way to call out shady shops, scammers, etc. Somewhere in there, it actually became a real planner Instagram, so I deleted all the old "tell on you" stuff. 

I currently use a Hobonichi Weeks, and a pocket rings for budgeting.
