The Importance of A Planner

       

       

  Just last month I decided to start a planner. I always see so many cute planners in the stores but, they are always so expensive. So, I created my very own personalized up cycled planner. Since then I have realized that every girl needs a planner! It has now become a helpful tool in my life. 

  As I said before planners can get very pricey! Mine started off as an old American Girl weekly planner. I found that it was kind of childish and lacked in space and organization. Plus I had never used it before. So I got to work. I have always loved graphic design and scrapbooking. I thought creating my own agenda would be the best idea for me personally because I could customize it to my own preferences while also having a lot of fun decorating my pages as I go.

  Having a planner in my life now seems like an essential. Before I had one, I would use my phone calendar. I find having a real agenda is much easier and more efficient. Seeing a real picture of my week or/and month has been helpful. You can find ways to use your time better. And get the important things done while also having time for all the fun moments in your life. 

  Decorating my planner is my favourite part! The possibilities are endless. I started off on my laptop in a word document, creating a table to use as a calendar. Be sure to measure the book or page that you will be pasting it onto before creating the table (I made that mistake before). From there you can begin to fancy it up. You can use an assortment of washy tape, stickers, print outs, markers and sticky notes. I purchased some really pretty note pads from H&M for only three dollars (ones shown above- To Do, To Buy, To Remember).
