This mornings tip relates to what I said quite a few weeks back about writing things down on paper. We are going to talk about planners today. Planners are an excellent way to record anything from appointments to things that happened throughout the day. I use a couple different planners for different things. I have a Day Designer that is my largest planner. It stays at home and is my "overall, contains everything" planner. Everything ends up in this planner, however it is too big for me to haul around in my bag (some people do have huge planners in their bags, but I am not one of those people). I have two smaller planners that are usually with me. The back and white polka dot planner is a moleskin day on one page planner. I use this planner for anything that happens during the day that I want to remember. It is where I mark appointments down that I make and where I mark down things I think of throughout the day. I really love this planner because it can be so flexible with what is in it. The smallest pink planner is where I mark down money I spend, things I buy and when things are delivered/supposed to be delivered. My system works for me, I rarely forget or miss appointments ( I say rarely because it has happened, I am human after all) and it really helps keep everything organized.
Now I'm not saying that you need to have three planners or that even one planner will solve all of your problems, but having something where you can list the day to day things that you are doing helps immensely. As I have said before, things very easily get lost in the shuffle and forgotten all the time. So, even if what you have is a wall calendar, have something where you can mark day to day information down. This is a good starting point for getting organized and clearing your mind.
