Maybe if I voice my New Year's Resolution, it will help me stick with it all year. Probably not, but one could hope.
My resolution is to stay more organized.
It isn't always cheap to stay organized, I have used over priced planners in the past, most of which I don't use. Either the system was too big, or it had too many features I didn't want. I have tried using the calendar on my computer, I have tried using just a plain notebook to write everything down. None of them work better than the year I used the $7.92 planner from Walmart (nicknamed Hellmart by one of my friends). And you just can't beat that price!
This trusty little planner has one page per day. It has time slots that I can block out and write what I need to be doing during that time period. Next to that it has space for me to write down my 'to do' lists, phone numbers, etc.
But of course, I didn't want a boring old Walmart planner. I called my amazingly talented mother, who can make anything look great with a sewing machine and some scraps of fabric.
I told her what I wanted to do, and she was actually able to give me directions over the phone of how to make this thing beautiful.
And here it is.
It just makes me want to pick it up and write things down in it. I'm not ashamed to carry it around. My favorite feature, (which I'm still so amazed that I was able to do it, and that my mom could explain it over the phone) is that it is lined with coordinating fabric.
What is your New Year's Resolution????
