It started last Christmas. I just wanted a planner. A simple book to keep all my to do's, my appointments, my thoughts and plans together in one spot. But I wanted one I could add to or remove pages from to customize it to fit my needs. I researched and found the Happy Planner. Easy to customize due to the fact that it is a disc bound system where pages slip in and out easily. Even has a whole punch available to make your own pages to insert.
There are a lot of downloadable ideas for extra pages or you can create your own.
You can even buy accessories and stickers and use colored pens and washi tape to make your pages more appealing or to highlight the really important days. Some people go to the extreme and create a book to store their stickers in.
Some decorate like they are doing a scrapbook.
I love being organized but some are a little bit over the top even for me.
I like to open my book and enter my to do or appointments, but this lady has more time to do stickers and decorate her planner apparently. If I did all this I wouldn't have time to actually attack the things I put in there to get done.
And some people have more than one and in more than one size. They use them to journal, to keep appointments, even to log how much water they drink a day. Look how many she has? They say this keeps them organized. How? When do they have time to do all the things in all those books?
They even create home office around their planner goodies. I have 3 rolls of washi tape and one package of stickers.
Now I will admit to being and addict to colored pens. It helps me color code for quick glances. But I have always been a fanatic about pens.
I see pictures like this where one lady uses 8 planners. WHY???? I would need one planner just to keep track of which planner I was using for what.
That being said. I have under my tree a new planner for 2019 along with a new pack of pens, and a few other accessories but nothing compared to the above.
