Personal Planner – staying organised

win a personal planner

I’ve been searching for a while for the *perfect* planner to use for my blog, to keep track of blog posts, work, lists, what I need to do, social media etc etc… While I love the editorial calendar plugin I use, I like to have something tangible in front of me, I still prefer good old paper and a pen to stay organsied.

I stumbled across Personal-Planner on a google search a couple of weeks back, and as soon as I clicked through to their site, I knew I’d found what I was looking for. There a several sizes you can pick from – small, medium, large and A5 – I opted for the large size, as it will mostly be kept on my desk and I wanted plenty of writing space! You can personalise your planner as much as you like – including the cover. You can upload your own image, or choose one from their collection – I used one of their designs as I love the folky feel of this so much. You can also choose the colour and pattern of the header that is along each page.

You can have certain dates printed in if you like, for example birthdays and anniversaries. ALong the bottom, I put in several to-do list boxes – but you could also pick other options such as lists, dinners, ideas, etc. You also get a ruler and a clear plastic sleeve.

I love that you can choose which month you want your planner to start with – so you don’t have to wait until January to purchase and start using one! Overall, I’m really happy with the planner – I’m hoping that it helps me keep track of everything once this baby arrives! I’d definitely recommend this planner, not just for bloggers but for anyone looking for a good way of keeping track of everything!

    My favourite day is Christmas Eve. It is our special time with me, my son and my daughter watching DVDs, snuggled up in onesies, drinking hot chocolate and opening Christmas Eve boxes. Love it! All the anticipation of Christmas Day builds too, it’s wonderful to feel that excitement in our house.

    I love every day of the year as it’s an extra 24 hours spent with loved ones. I especially like Sundays though, lazy morning followed by long family walk with the dog and home to a scrumptious roast.
