One of my resolutions for 2015 is to get organized.

 

Last year, I bought myself a generic planner and tried to use that to track everything – from bills to shopping lists and to-do-lists to party plans. It did not go well. Not only did I end up neglecting my planner halfway through the year, but all my notes were over the place and I was nowhere near organized.

This is where I realized two things:

1. I need a “pretty” planner – nice enough for me not to forget about, unlike that plain black planner I bought from a bookstore that disappeared somewhere in our house

2. I need pages that are specific to certain tasks/topics – budgeting, meal planning, etc.
