[…] these special times on a calendar (in pen! I love using a planner!!). These date nights should be as important (ideally, more) than meetings and appointments you […]

Forgot add to my last comment. Thank you so much for all the links to planners and stationary. It helps me keep track of my notebooks and planners if they are something outrageous or memorable. My current planner has stars and my current notebook has peacock feathers. I often go when Barnes and Noble has sales or there is a store in Mall of America called Typo. Here’s the link to their store. https://cottonon.com/US/stationery-living/stationery/?prefn1=brand&srule=price_high_to_low&sz=48&start=0&prefv1=Typo

I am a teacher and I always use a paper planner. I also take a notebook to every meeting even though we are only required to bring our computers and schedule everything in Google Calendar. Like you mentioned in your post, I feel writing things down helps me remember them. I also feel I am a more active participant if I’m writing things down. Then I also have notes, plans, school schedule things to look back on when I have time or if I’m confused about an event or assembly or anything else.

I love to keep a planner but I can never follow through. It only lasts about a week haha. Also, are you left handed? Cause I am too! You don’t meet too many!

I work full-time, I am a mom, and I am a consummate volunteer & event planner for the community & our parish. I have 3 planners:
1. Work – to track what I need to do throughout my work day and to track what I have done.
2. Personal – for life, for my personal goals, for my volunteer events/projects, for everything.
3. Home – a HUGE whiteboard that is kept in the kitchen and updated monthly with EVERYTHING (minus my personal stuff).

Takes a bit of time to manage all 3, but it keeps me somewhat sane & organized.

I LOVE my ban.do planner! It’s the “I AM VERY BUSY” 2017 planner in mint blue/green. Its functional, with tonnes of writing space, has adorable stickers, quirky statements, and creative “to-do” suggestions for each week 🙂

I totally agree. I am a 17 year old girl that prefers journels, writing on paper, rather than using an app. Most people my age are glued to their devices that they barely even use books, notebooks etc. I feel as though i was born in the wrong generation 😀

I keep on coming back to this post! I’m slowly getting ready for the beginning of the school year and with the number of courses I’ll be taking, I definitely need to continue to stay organized. This has helped so much! Thank you 🙂

I really love my planner, I write down appoinments, obviously, but I also keep track of what I did on what day for later reference. I usually add where I was, what I ate, if I was with someone, what I was doing, etc. I love using a pen and paper, I also journal that way and do all edits on my books that way and only type them later.
