Embracing Imperfection. Growing in Faith

July 15, 2014

2014-2015 Planner Review and Giveaway!

I have a confession to make.  I’m obsessed with planners.  Being the type A personality that I am, I plan; I organize; and then I plan and organize some more, and then I get to work!

I am pen and paper kind of gal.  My husband prefers using a planner app on his ipad.  Not I. I have a Vera Bradley student planner for my daily to do list with a calendar for our family activities.  I love it, and it is the perfect size for me.  It’s the pen and paper thing.  I just can’t go digital!

You may not be as obsessed with organization as I am.  One might call me OCD.  Then again, you may be like me and have 3 planners for your life and in that case, we need to go to therapy together.

If you are looking for a clean, pretty and easy to use planner, I have just the thing for you!  Marlene Griffith of A Diligent Heart has created a beautiful 2014-2015 planner!

This colorful planner comes in two options: a one page month view ($7) or a two month page view ($7).  If you can’t decide, you can also purchase both of them together at a very affordable price of $10!

2 page month view

This planner is very versatile.  It can be a family planner, life planner or a blog planner.  It can be adapted for pretty much whatever you need.  I decided to use this as part of my Blogging Binder.  In my blogging binder, I have a section for: scheduling, current projects, analytics, website login info, income tracker, brainstorming and giveaways/reviews.  Blogging is a big job and is my ministry so I love having all my critical blog info in one place.

This adorable planner (the full pack)  includes:

  • 2 year at a glance options
  • One-page month at a glance (I’m using this as my editorial calendar for my blog!)
  • Two-page month at a glance
  • Two-page week at a glance
  • Daily pages with boxes to track or make to do list for the different areas of your life

I love the two-page week part of this planner because it makes it easy to see all my blogging tasks for the week.  I also love the box at the bottom where you can place your favorite quote or bible verse.

    1 <3 Paper and pen, but that may be due to the age in which i was raised more than a preference. My most cherished one is a pink ribbon cancer awareness one…whenever i see it i think of my mom.

    I tried a paper planner this year for the first time in a long while. I actually like it in theory, but the size is too big for me to be able to carry it around regularly. I’m thinking of trying a smaller one for the next year, just to see if it works.

      You definitely have to find one that “fits.” That’s why I use the Vera Bradley planner (that and I’m also a little addicted to Vera…) They aren’t huge and can easily go in my “work” bag. 🙂
