So I used to use a paper planner. I used one for years and called it my brain. After my kids left home and I wasn't working as much I went to a little purse sized date book and used that for several years. Then I got a smart phone and thought I "needed" to use it instead but I just can't. Seriously can't. I decided I wanted to go back to a "real" paper planner so I shopped around. I really want a Filofax or the Kate Spade Wellesley but my wallet just can't afford one. Plus I wanted to use a cheaper one and see what I liked. I used a Daytimer for years. I finally bought a Covey Franklin. I played with it most of the day making dividers and stamping the dates on each calendar. Call me crazy, I know. It was fun. The 2 Peas thread pointed me in the right direction.
Now if I only knew how to post pics on here....

I loved my Franklin Covey planner & carried it for years. I loved the leather cover and all the extras.
But when I went electronic on my phone, I got rid of the Franklin and never looked back. It's just too cumbersome to carry!

I am about to make my own binder to combine a paper planner and hold my ipad air. Have given up on finding one to order.

I've been using a smaller paper planner for years. I keep it in my purse and it just works for me. This year I slurged and bought an Erin Condren Life Planner. Just patiently waiting for it to arrive.

I have a smart phone, but I'm more of a pen and paper kind of girl when it comes to using a calendar. I've tried the Day Timer, but found it bulky to carry around. I tried Bullet Journaling but didn't like that I couldn't insert pages as needed.
I'm using the Arc planner by Staples and so far I'm loving it. It's lightweight enough to carry around, I can insert pages or remove pages as needed.

Stacy Angel had linked this stamp set from Scrappower's thread at 2 Peas here. It came yesterday and I'm really happy with it. I hate stickers and I particularly love the "hydration" stamp. Anyway, just thought enable some.  |

I was recently helping my dad go through my mom's things and found her yearly planners. She kept all of them dating back to 1999. I had no idea she wrote her daily 'happenings' down. The planners were a unexpected treasure. She has inspired me to do the same. I've enjoyed flipping through them. My mom had ALS. Before she was diagnosed she was writing down symptoms without even realizing it. Toward the end of her life she was unable to write. Another reason these planners are treasures to me.
I'll have to do some searching for the planners everyone has mentioned. I was just going to pick up 'cheapo' planners from an office supply store. I guess I need a fancy one? lol

Like the rest of you I'd be lost without my planner.
I use a simple, spiral-bound weekly that is about 5" x 8". I put a few random stickers and washi tape in it to fancy it up and also use different color pens. All appointments and to-do lists go in there as well as all notes, since this stupid perimenopause seems to have stolen my brain!

I had to run into Staples for a few things yesterday and was seriously drooling over the different planners!

I was going to get a filofax but then I see there is a PL planner kit now. I'm going to check it out first.
