Planners and Organizers!

easygoingfemme · 02-27-2018, 10:37 AM

I am without a planner this year for the first time since probably high school. I use a desk blotter to track my appointments during the work day and use the calendar on my phone to note before and after work planned events. I thought I might hate it but I actually find it more simple. Plus my partner and I are able to share a calendar that way and plug in our dates or times when one of us is out of town/working late/etc. When I told my daughter I wasn't using my paper planner anymore she fell on the ground gasping... "but that's your bible!" hysterical.

I also took the plunge and switched over to my phone calendar this year. I am trusting it more and more. I still have to have a paper planner though, even though my calendar isn't in it. It's for all the other stuff I write down - stuff I used to put on sticky notes, my check register, bills, addresses, everything. I have a lot less paper in my life since I started keeping everything in the planner.

Now that school's revving back up, a new batch of planners and organizational tools have appeared. So happy! I don't like the bulk of a traditional planner but I do like having room to jot down work schedules, notes, payment reminders, etc. I also am keeping a running tab of all expenses in a bank register kind of way but not exactly and it's working much better than my previous method. I have a pocket planner that goes in my purse and a larger one for home. Information gets transferred every couple of days. I feel that I'm on top of it without being compulsive or fanatical. I haven't always had that balance so this is pretty damn cool right now. I almost don't recognize myself!

I really like the Productivity Planner from Intelligent Change, but they don't make a digital version.

Is anyone using a digital planner? If so, may I get some recommendations?

I love having an actual paper planner and am very into it. I use stickers and different colored inks and decorate everything and use stickers specifically made for planners. Right now I have a Creativity 365 Happy Planner in the large version. It's huge and bulky but I don't care, it's my baby. You can get all kinds of add ons and I got the budget packet and the six month add on packet. Plus four books of stickers. I play in it every day. I may be obsessed but it's something creative for me and also keeps me very organized.
