So today I have a great Friday Find. Though you can't "wear" it, I feel it's not only a great fashion accessory, it serves a purpose as well.
If you know me at all you know I am what I refer to as a "visual learner". I need to see things sometimes before I fully understand them. If we are going to have a meeting I really prefer it be in person. If you want to tell me about a room you are decorating, it's best if I am there in the room to visualize. The only exception to this (big surprise) is fashion. I can (and do) help people over the phone or email all the time with suggestions of outfits, items to purchase, etc. I get a lot of pics from the fitting room to get my advice and I love it :) However, if you want me to remember a date, it's best I write it down. I really did try to use my phone as a calendar. Not smart - for me.
So, my Friday Find is my Erin Condren Life Planner. Over the years I have tried MANY planners. ( I have 4 different empty Franklin Covey binders as proof). This is my second year using the Erin Condren Planner.
What I love:
- The vertical layout - 3 blocks for each day of the week for you to divide as you like
- The size of the planner - perfect for desktop or to carry along with in a bag or big purse
- There is a monthly calendar for ease of month-at-a-glance type planning
- Options - PEOPLE - you can choose from tons of different covers - or design your own. You can switch out the covers as often as you like
- You may or may not know - there is a huge planner community "out there". There are shops on Etsy soley devoted to stickers and decorations for your planner
- Overall, the planner is very user friendly and you can truly make it work for you
Challenges:
- There are Etsy shops soley devoted to stickers and decorations for your planner
- The planner doesn't plan for you :)
