Get your to-do list out of your head and into a system that actually works
Notebooks with Ronna™ is a 2.5-hour live workshop where productivity strategist Ronna Belinky walks you through the exact process she created and has used for more than a decade.
You will leave with a complete understanding of your personal to-dos, with a plan for them and paced by month and by week. Plus, you will have a template to create the notebook for the rest of the year.
Live virtual workshop
October 14, 2026
10am - 12:30pm CT
Create a personalized notebook system
Build a physical or digital notebook that paces your personal to-dos month by month and week by week for the entire year.
Clear the mental load
Get every task out of your head and into one clear, manageable system built around your life and your busy seasons.
Follow through with consistency
Move at a pace that works for you, stay on track with the things you have to do, and make time for the things that matter most.
Even if you've tried planning systems that didn't stick, feel like there's never enough time, don't consider yourself a “planner,” or consider yourself a “planner” with intentions to do it better, this workshop is for you!
“The workshop was so inspiring. You have a natural way of making big concepts feel clear and actionable.
This is a game changer. I already understood a lot of your concepts but this just helped me put everything together in a way that is easier to understand and follow.”
~ Jill Lawlor
“My key takeaway was that forcing yourself to sit down and do this project pays off for years to come.
The best part of this is actually having an opportunity to review your upcoming month at a glance, while also being able to look at the month ahead. The notebook helps you remember what is coming up.”
~ Heather Redisch
“The workshop was incredibly insightful and practical! I walked away feeling empowered.
Your knowledge and expertise shone through in every aspect, and I appreciated how approachable and clear you made the process. It’s evident that you’re passionate about helping others."
~ Andrea Hecht
From overwhelmed to organized
I came out of the entertainment industry believing that hustle equaled worth. Then I had kids and the pressure to prove myself got even stronger.
When I had young children, I was frazzled. A lot. In a world that was filled with so much I could not control, I needed to create a system of organization that I had complete control over, one that would minimize stress and help me anticipate my many to-dos. Being a parent felt chaotic enough. I had to simplify what I could.
As I started to write down everything I needed to do for me and my family, it became clear that my tasks were repeatable. The same things that required the same to-dos happened every month of every year.
So in 2015, I created a documented system that organized my tasks by month and by week for one full year. Then, Notebooks with Ronna™, my signature personal planning and task-management system, was born.
And it changed my life.
I've used that same notebook process every year since. I learned that I needed a system the hard way, and now I'm teaching it to you.
Why this works when other planners haven't
Most planners and productivity apps are built one specific way. If that way doesn't match how your brain works, it falls apart within a few weeks. I don't teach you a rigid format. I teach you a process, and how you implement it is up to you.
The workshop walks you through the exact steps to figure out what your to-dos actually are, how to organize them, and how to pace them across the year.
With worksheets that make it easy to put into action and a Brainstormed Task List, you don't have to think of the repeatable tasks from scratch.
I've already done the thinking for you!
MOST PLANNERS AND APPS
Have one rigid format, whether or not it fits how you think.
Leave you to start from a blank page and think of everything yourself.
Provide generic instructions that assume everyone's life looks the same.
NOTEBOOKS WITH RONNA™
Adapts to your life and your brain.
Gives you a Brainstormed Task List; I did the thinking for you!
Walks you through step-by-step worksheets so you're creating a personalized notebook. And you are live with me!
Here's What You Can Expect When You Join Me In The Workshop
1. Start with Personal Reflection
Think through what fills your days right now.
2. Map your Family and Community
List everyone you're responsible for remembering, birthdays, teacher gifts, the people who create to-dos for you.
3. Go through my Brainstormed Task List
Adapt for your life an exhaustive list of repeatable to-dos. Cross off what doesn't apply, highlight what does. I've already done the thinking, you just react.
4. Build your Monthly Lists
Place every task in the appropriate month (I'll help you figure out which one that is). This paces your year instead of front-loading it all into today.
5. Walk away with a full year mapped
See the system come to life with one month fully complete and a blueprint for the other eleven, ready to reuse as a template year after year.
"It's so simple, and yet I never thought to do this. I love that you give people time to work during the workshop instead of just talking about what to do." — workshop attendee
Is this workshop for you?
This workshop is for you if:
- You're already capable and organized in other parts of your life, but your personal to-dos live in your memory, on sticky notes or scattered apps.
- You've tried planners or productivity apps before and they didn't stick. You need to find a process that you can adjust to the way your brain works. Notebooks with Ronna is adaptable to you!
- You want to stop feeling like everything is urgent all the time.
- You want something you build once and reuse every year, instead of starting from scratch every January.
"I feel so much more grounded after completing my notebook. I can organize and plan ahead to reduce my stress and overwhelm." — workshop attendee
Hi,
I'm Ronna
I'm a productivity strategist, time-management expert and the founder of Workflows by Ronna. I help women clear the mental load with personalized planning systems, so they can feel calm, organized, and present, at work and at home.
I've been building systems for more than a decade. I started in TV sitcom production, working on shows including Will & Grace, where I had to create my own systems just to keep up. I was told what to do, but not how to do it!
Then I moved into the nonprofit world and found the same problem: inefficient processes everywhere. When I became a parent, I realized the overwhelm doesn't stay at work, it follows you home.
I created Notebooks with Ronna™, my signature personal planning and task-management method, out of necessity for my own life, and I've taught it through workshops across the Chicagoland area and virtually ever since.
Now I can't wait to teach it to you.
"After the workshop, everything suddenly felt manageable. Everything felt doable." — Andrea Potashnick, Honeycrisp Media

Let's talk workshop details
Do I need any organizational experience?
No. I'll walk you through my process, step by step.
Will I need anything with me?
Bring whatever you currently use to keep track of important dates: your phone, your laptop, a notebook, a list, whatever you've got. If you don't have anything, no worries, I'll email you worksheets to print out a few days before the workshop.
Do I need to buy the branded Notebook?
No, it's not required. My branded Notebooks with Ronna™ notebook is available separately for $15 if you'd like one. Or you can use any notebook or journal with at least 94 lined pages. The purchase link is in your confirmation email.
What if I want to do this digitally instead of on paper?
I teach the process with pen and paper, but fillable PDFs and a digital Google Sheets version are included, too. I teach the method, the tool is up to you.
How much time do I need, for the workshop and after?
The workshop is 2.5 hours live on Zoom. You'll leave with your first month mapped out. I recommend blocking some time after the workshop so that you have extra time for additional implementation while it's fresh in your mind. After that, most people spend about 15-30 minutes a month keeping it current – working on their notebook. (Some people populate the month and weeks monthly, some people fill all of the months and pace the weeks as the year goes on – it’s a personal decision).
Then, of course, there is time necessary to do the tasks in the notebook each week.
What will I walk away with?
A notebook with one month completed and a blueprint for the rest of the year. Plus, a sense of calm and a clear mind because you’ve planned for all of your to-dos.
What if I don't do well in a group setting?
We can work together one-on-one. Email me at [email protected]
Let's do this!
Don't go into another year of scrambling and chaos.
I want your year filled with less stress, and I want to show you how to get that.
Let's start now!
