Organizing My Year With A Personal Planner
Last year I had the opportunity to try out the Personal-Planner. Every planner I had before, I was always done using it after the first couple of months because it just did not suit what I needed. Then I decided to give the Personal-Planner a whirl and I used it until the end. I absolutely enjoyed everything about it! So here I am again, promoting a planner that I decided to go back to again this coming year.
I have to say, Personal-Planner lives up to it’s business name. They are personal in the sense of very easy to work with, but also personal in the sense that you can personalize your planner to fit your style, wants, and needs.
There are 5 different sizes to choose from. I chose the A5 because I typically buy a planner that is roughly an 8×6 size anyways. Price-wise, they run between $30-$60 dollars (though for my readers, look for a discount coupon code below), which includes tax and shipping.
When it comes to the customizing process, I have to say that it is a lot of fun. Like I said before, what I really like about the Personal-Planner is that you can customize so many parts of the planner to make it yours and fit your needs. For instance, you can choose from various patters, designs, themes, all with different color options as well for the cover (both front and back), but you can also upload your own images. I decided to design my own front and back covers using PicMonkey. It is a free photo-editing program, so I just uploaded a white picture, sized it to the planner cover that I was designing (8×6), and designed it.
Next came the actual designing of the planner. First of all, you can start your planner with any month.
Here is an example of what I chose each week to look like:
It also comes with an overview before the start of each month:
You can also choose how you want the layout of each week to look like, which can also include personal dates, like birthdays, yearly special events, etc.
Along the bottom, there are 3 modules that you can customize to include a workout checklist, to-do list, meal planning list, and more. I chose to have 1 for “dinners” and 1 with a list for the week. The other is just ruled.
There are 3 sections in back that are also completely customizable. I chose to have sudoku puzzles (how fun is that!), ruled, and blank paper. You can also choose graph paper, and even a lesson-planning section for teachers if you’d like!
Other parts that I like about the Personal-Planner?
- A heavy-duty clear cover
- Comes with a ruler and plastic pocket insert
- Fun stickers to add to your pages for reminders
- Leather covers and pens are available
- The edges are color coded by month so tabs are not needed
- Choice of color is also available for the elastic closure
- SHIPPING IS FREE!!!!!
Personal-Planner has offered my readers a discount on one of their planners (your choice!) You can get 15% off using the code L-OVE2-PLAN and is valid until December 4th – this is also last day to order for Christmas delivery!
