For the past couple of years I have been using the Lilly Pulitzer Planner, which seem to be sold out everywhere online. My planner is the "large" size and seems to work for me.
I like that the planner offers both a monthly view, and also a weekly view which has a good amount of space for writing in each day. I do however think that I do not use it to the fullest and am considering a different planner option for next year.
Right now, I put the big things on the monthly view - birthdays, vacations, Dr. Appointments, etc. Some of these items go on the days in the weekly view, but I try to use that for more specific daily appointments and commitments. There are weeks when I am really good about using my planner, but I find that I use outlook and my phone calendar a lot too.
It is my goal to get everything down in my planner in the upcoming months. I not only want to do this to ensure that I don't forget anything important, but I think it would be a great way to look back on the days, months, and year to see what we had going on. It will also help me to keep my blog ideas written down, and hopefully ensure that I am blogging 3-4 times a week.
One thing that I am SURE will not change is my choice of pens that I use in my planner. I love my Staedtler | triplus finelinerpens, which come in so many awesome colors. They write with a fine ink line, and I feel that they never smudge. I have had these for 2 years and have yet to replace them for any reason!
Unfortunately, I am only aware of a few different planners that I think may be what I am looking for. Through different bloggers opinions that I have read online, and a few blogs that I read I am considering one of these two options:
The Simplified Planner by Emily Ley
Life Planners by Erin Condren
If you know of any other options that I should take a look at let me know! I'd love to hear your opinion.
