This approach has worked moderately well for years-sometimes it’s a hit, sometimes it’s a miss. Finally, I try to choose a planner product that I think will work best for each dedicated planner. Next, I determine if each life area requires its own dedicated planner, for example: appointments and tasks for my regular day job do not carry over to my personal time so I can dedicate a separate planner for work which stays in my office. First, I identify key life areas, currently they are: work, blog, and personal (which also includes family, home, and fitness). When it comes to planning, I have a thought process I like to go thru to figure out my planner setups. As I’m going thru this process, it occurred to me that it’s not as simple as choosing a planner product but rather there’s one critical step you must take BEFORE choosing any planner otherwise it will not work. Going into the second quarter of the year, I-like many plannernerds-am doing a self-check to determine what’s working and what’s not working so I can adjust as needed. There is a checklist to do section along with a notes area.In the beginning of 2016, I shared my setups for work, blog, personal, and on-the-go planners in a 4-part blog post series. The monthly view is similar to the daily version, but the weekly view is a little bit different. The smaller size is perfect for my purse so that I can take notes on the go! You can add your own photos to the cover. There are holidays clearly marked, and this is where I track my blog posts and payments.Īs for the smaller size weekly-monthly Day Designer, I love the clear plastic cover. The monthly calendar has a place for to dos, and the calendar is lined (which I love!). ![]() There are durable monthly tabs so you can flip between daily pages and monthly calendars. ![]() I can meal plan, write down my daily gratitude, and keep track of my blog posts. From the hourly schedule, my to do checklist, and a notes section, I have room for just about everything. The big selling point of the daily style Day Designer is the THREE COLUMN layout! Hallelujah! I can now fit everything for each day one ONE page in ONE planner. Just like the original Day Designer (which I reviewed last year in my Whitney English Day Designer post), I love being able to map out my year. The beginning pages of the Day Designer feature a few sections to create your goals and get motivated about the future. I know that I needed to focus and get on track for a productive second half of 2015. Since I was using more than one planner for business, blog, personal, and other to dos, it became WAY too overwhelming. The daily Day Designer is going to be my new go to planner for everything. The three pieces from the collection that I love the most is the gold stripe daily planner, the weekly floral print small planner, and the wall calendar. ![]() You can even pick up a wall calendar or two. ![]() You can check out the entire collection online, and you can see them at Target right NOW! From weekly, monthly, and daily planners, there is a wide variety of prints and planners to try. Get to know my new Day Designer Target, and go discover one for yourself! When I was sent a few new planners to try out, I totally swooned over one of them in particular. Over time I discover that a planner doesn’t fit all my to dos. However, I’m always on the look out for the newest and more efficient calendar. I have more than one, and I use them for different things. I’m definitely one of those planner junkies. Run – don’t walk – to your nearest Target to scoop up a few new planners and calendars to make your academic year a bit more organized. While I received samples of the Day Designer to review, all organizational opinions are my own!
