actually i am going to start from scratch and get a completely new planner this will help me weed out old information and hopefully make me feel like i have some control again. some might think i am a little obsessive of my planner but it has been my key to saving me time. after all, that is what a planner is supposed to do right? i keep a list of birthday, anniversary, baby, sympathy messages within my planner to help me while on the spot. i know keeping important information like log in and passwords are not supposed to be kept in a planner but again this has saved me time in the end. i rely on my planner a lot and especially more and more since i can't seem to keep things straight in my head anymore.
i used to think that i needed the franklin planner system and had a semi medium planner book... but over the last 5 years i took it down a size to fit in my purse. this has been even more helpful .... i don't use the day to day pages that franklin system has just the overall month to month cally and than lots of extra tabs for web address/passwords, card messages, stamps, return address labels, christmas lists, and anything else that comes to mind.
here is my old planner...
here is my new planner :)....
here is to being organized again and having my life back!!!!
I hear ya. If I don't write it down or put in on a list somewhere, it's GONE forever. My brain doesn't retain things that it should and by having a planner, I like to think that my life is a little more on track. I love my planner. I have a Franklin Covey planner and while I love it, it's huge! If I could put something in my purse, that would be great but I can't sacrafice going smaller because then I can't put full sheet of paper in there... It's such a never ending cycle...
