Planning a Happy New Year

This post contains affiliate links to products that I think are excellent choices to set up your planner. If  you purchase through these links I will receive a small commission to help me maintain this blog.

Well here we are. 2018 has begun. Was one of your resolutions to get a handle on your schedule?

Last year I experimented with every type of planner around. I have decided that a travellers journal is my go to for my daily carry, however I can't add all the things I need to track in it without creating a very full, bulky journal.

Additionally, there are allot of things that I don't necessarily want to be carrying outside of the house.  For these living documents that I am using at home daily, the Me and My Big Ideas Happy Planners are an ideal fit. I love being able to easily add and remove the pages that I am using such as recipes or medication lists.

My Webster's Pages and Carpe Diem A5 plan

ners are a perfect match for organizing all the clinical notes, meeting notes, IEPs, letters of diagnosis and Respite reports for each of my 3 kidlets.

 It sounds like allot but I am finding that by compartmentalizing my information in separate planners it is easier for me to stay on task. Not all my planners are fully set up yet. My Big Happy planner is being converted to my social media/blog planner and some of my travellers journals need some tweaking but overall I am feeling prepared for the new year.

Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel My Grandmas Teacups to see my planner set ups, hacks and flip throughs.

If you are new to planners I think the Mambi Happy Planner line is a great place to start. They offer many extensions and accessories to customise the planner exactly to your needs. There are also some really supportive Facebook groups that will not only inspire you but also answer any questions you have.
