Planning To Plan For 2017

December 8, 2016

My husband and I have long shared a Google calendar for all kid- and work-related stuff. (Some days, it’s the only way we communicate!) But for 2017, I’m also planning to work out of an actual hold-in-my-hands, write-in-with-a-good-pen planner. I used to always keep one in college and in the early days of motherhood—in a time long ago before my hand was physically attached to my iPhone. I miss the feeling of checking off my to-do list and especially being able to look back at what my life was like during that year. (Turns out I wasn’t as busy or as stressed in 1996 as I thought I was. . . ) It’s the closest I’ll come to keeping a journal.

Simplified Planner 2017

For the coming year, I’m using one of Emily Ley’s Simplified Planners. I have long admired them and am pretty darn excited about those tabs, fun quotes, an inside pocket for extra stuff and a really pretty cover.

By the way, if you decide to order this as a gift, it comes in a really pretty box and is monogrammable. (You have to order by tomorrow, 12/9, for Christmas delivery!)

Have you all seen the pictures of people who doodle in their planners? I’m not sure mine will be quite this creative, but I do like the idea of jotting down places we went, funny things the kids said that day or a Bible verse.

Pages 54-55

This one is more of a journal but is a fun blog with lots of examples.

 

And, a few more pretty planners (pocket and full-size) that I found in my search. Cheers to an organized 2017! (Or at least to good intentions. . . )

    I have #5, love it! I don’t journal, but I like the idea of recording more family snippets like that in my planner. Good idea, I think I could do that!

    I am a planner girl, myself. I just need to see a month at a glance. I love Erin Condren planners best. This is very timely as I am in need of my 2017! Have a great holiday!

    I buy mine yearly at the art institute gift shop. The pages contain beautiful art images, heavy paper, pretty cover, spiral bound, and it is profit for the non-profit. I wouldn’t know what I was doing daily without it. I LOVE checking off chores!

    Great picks! Just curious, will you copy family activities from the google cal onto your paper calendar? I would like to go back to paper also but iCal is essential for coordinating family events and my husband’s work travel schedule. I’m afraid of forgetting to check both.
