I came up with this:
My 2012 life planner.
I put it in one of those durable binders from staples. I think it was around $6.00.
I made the cover in word, with one of my favorite fonts, smiley monster.
This is what it looks like when you open it up:
On the left is a clear pocket that holds my "perpetual to-do list", courtesy of the nest effect.
And a clear pocket, also from staples. There are usually unpaid bills here when I receive them. They are filed as soon as they are paid.
I decided on my categories {time management, goals, meal planning, and notes}
First is time management.
I got these off a blog last year, but I have no idea where now, sorry.
Next is a monthly calendar. There's not much that gets written on here, I mostly use it for reference.
Next are the weekly pages:
By the end of the week, these pages are filled with scribbles, lists and checkmarks.
The next section is goals:I have not used this section as much as I thought I would. I've found it too hard to keep things in different places. I think I will exclude this section from my next planner.
This section gets used quite a bit, but not as much as it should.
On the back side of my meal plan is a grocery list for the week. If I have things planned, which does not always happen, then I can get the extra things I need for meals for the week.
The last section of my planner is notes:
These pages are just blank for scratching down whatever I need to.
In the back is another folder, just for extra odds and ends.
But, alas, this planner has not been as wonderful as I expected it to be. [very sad face]
So I have pulled inspiration from all of the internet and am creating another! Hopefully new and improved! It will be available in our etsy shop as soon as it is finished!
I am feverishly trying to finish up the layout and Niki is hard at work on some beautiful covers.
Stay tuned for a sneak peak at our NEW AND IMPROVED LIFE PLANNER!
