I am a pretty tech-savvy gal when it comes to organizing and simplifying my own life. I enjoy clothing subscriptions like Trunk Club and have had my groceries delivered via Instacart. I have more apps than most people I know and I used Venmo before it was a household name.
However, there is one practice I won’t change no matter what and it is the daily ritual of list-making, organizing, manifesting and setting and accomplishing goals via my paper planner.
Perhaps it is my obsession with lists or the intense sense of accomplishment I feel every time I draw a line through a completed task, or it is simply the close and intimate relationship I develop with the bound book of paper that houses my every thought, date, and goal. I heart my paper planner.
I need to feel the pen in my hand as I write my list of to do’s each day and require only a few prerequisites.
There must be endless space so I can doodle and catalog my ideas and since I wasn’t born with the organizing gene my planner must have daily planning pages and hourly scheduling.
At the end of the day, we are all trying to accomplish the same thing, something, and in order to stay organized and continue to win at life, we need to plan. The more we have together the more time we will have available for simple moments that matter. At the end of the day, those are the most important ones. Planners are a girl’s best friend and one of my favorite end of year purchases.
Here are 6 planners to help you smash your goals.
