I’m a ridiculous paper junkie to the max. It’s insanity, really – I have notebooks for everything. “Stuff I Want To Do In 10 Years,” “Stuff I Want To Do Tomorrow,” “Words That Sound Weird.” You know, the usual.
And there are stack and stacks of them. I have a weird tick where if I mess up one of them, I like to retire it into the archives of dismissal and typos. It’s a horrid habit, and very, very wasteful. I’m trying to stop. Be kind.
But – this post is about planners, not journals. Of which I also have many. But my favorite came to me last year from a gal named Laurel Denise, and I have never gone back to a traditional planner since. It’s a crazy smart calendar – you can organize by week, by month, write to do lists (that are perforated! what?!) and dot notes in margins – all while maintaining some semblance of sanity.
Anyway, Laurel just sent me her 2012 version as part of her blog tour and I can’t wait to bust out my Sharpies and color coordinate the crap out of it. Eek!
What are your favorite planners? I like having multiple options, so please share below! And if you haven’t purchased a Laurel Denise, I highly, highly recommend. They’re like, $35 or something. Very, very worth it.
I ran across this planner a few days ago and I love it! Such beautiful graphics. I don’t really use a paper planner, although I love writing notes and lists out in a journal.
i like to make my own planners from blank moleskine notebooks. the possibilities are endless.
oh yes – moleskines for president!
e.
coloured sections for those visual planning types and pretty customizable. oh yeah, and graph paper at the back for notes and illustrations. after years of searching and making my own, ‘daily color’ from millimeter milligram inc. is the best so far: http://www.mmmg.net/FrontStore/iGoodsView.phtml?iCategoryId=191&iCategoryIdMain=191&iGoodsId=CT00000015&iCurrentPage=1
i have so many empty journals and planners … i just keep buying them even though i don’t really do much with them haha oh dear
I am the biggest stationery junkie and love all things papaer related, I too have a shameful collection of unfinshed notebooks. Howevere my latest love is these badboys, they revolutionise the art of the journal…
