I’ve always been the type of person that carries a weekly planner that I can jot down to-do lists and all the things I need to remember. When 2013, rolled around, so did the final week of my weekly calendar. With a new year, I decided to give the electronic calendar thing a go, planning to keep track of everything on my phone and tablet. It ended up being a terrible idea. I hated not being able to add the personal handwritten touches to my schedule and by March, I stopped using my new system together. A couple weeks ago, I decided to purchase a new planner for me. I found some really great ones, but they all either started at the beginning of 2013, leaving less pages for me to fill, or the insides weren’t what I was looking for. After looking at planner after planner and beating myself up again and again for not buying one at the beginning of the year, I decided to dive into the craft of bookbinding and make my own! I’m so glad I did! I love how it turned out!
This planner is 100% my own. I designed the cover, the pages inside, and bound it myself. There is plenty of room to jot down notes for each day of the week. I also added a “this week” area to write down to-do lists or some inspiration to get me through the week. I love having that extra little space. In the back, I have some blank lined pages to add whatever random notes I need through the year: contact information, lists of new places to eat, important dates, movies I want to watch, etc. This simple little weekly planner means so much to me now! I don’t think I’ll ever buy one again!
