They are like little diaries to our lives and I hate getting rid of them. <br /><br />Thank you for linking up to the September Country Fair Blog Party!<br />Laurie - Co-HostLaurie - Country Linkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09584007490432774197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-24023975762899576282015-08-31T07:04:21.944-05:002015-08-31T07:04:21.944-05:00I'm pretty funny about planners/calendars, too...I'm pretty funny about planners/calendars, too. I have used a few different styles/types for years and finally I started making one that works for me, which I can also change up a bit. I even made one for another friend and she absolutely loves it. I'm so happy to have done this for myself and do hope to share it on my blog...one day (sooner than later, if I can get myself together about it) :)Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699129732330725181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-60907724951751624542015-08-27T13:17:29.974-05:002015-08-27T13:17:29.974-05:00It is early for me to do this, but I already order...It is early for me to do this, but I already ordered the inserts for three planners; my own, my husband, and our daughter. We did some "windows shopping" at Franklin-Covey and found exactly what works for all three of us. <br /><br />Do our choices work perfectly? Nope! Why did we order them? Because the formats chosen work for us at least 85% of the time. It is not difficult to insert a daily page when one is needed. We already use our monthly tabbed calendars for the "alerts', so details need to go elsewhere, which is the weekly pages. Additional details can go on sticky notes or a daily page. We all like keeping things short, sweet, and to the point. This method works for us.<br /><br />Our planners pretty much go everywhere with us. We feel more confident with the planner at hand and fewer things are forgotten or require a change in scheduling.<br /><br />Our phone and computers back up the planner; not the other way around.<br /><br />Dianne in the desert<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-80490226255063457702015-08-26T11:47:56.685-05:002015-08-26T11:47:56.685-05:00Little Angel, write your weekly list in the extra ...Little Angel, write your weekly list in the extra box!

I love weekly pages because it is easier to see my whole week at a glance, but I prefer daily because there is more room for a to do list. Any suggestion how to make a to do list work and just use weekly planner pages without having to add extra "to do" pages. I would love to have it.

Some people need the motivation of decorations, some want or need lines and compartments (that's me), while some need the space to be blank. Some need pre-printed time slots, some plan by context (me again.) What ever works for the way we plan. <br />Then, there's the whole size thing.Carla https://www.blogger.com/profile/06072064131320398306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-55692449860268044622015-08-24T08:13:23.656-05:002015-08-24T08:13:23.656-05:00I would say there is no perfect planner.

It may be that you need to change size or styles from time to time based on changes in your life. But mostly you can personalize your planner and make it work best for you with a little tweaking. I like having a ring bound planner. Even though it's a little bigger to carry, I'm always wanting to rearrange things and change things, and that makes it easy.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192064538924964308noreply@blogger.com
