Even though I am guilty of being on my phone more than I’d like to admit, and one would think all my plans and appointments would be within my iPhone calendar, I actually like pen and paper more than you can imagine. There is something about writing down your notes, to-do’s, and plans. I know many people would disagree with me because, well hello, it’s 2013. However, it’s safe to say I’ll be putting that pen (or pencil) to paper…forever. With that being said, let’s talk organization.
Make sure to have a fabulous notepad on your desk at all times to write down lists and notes throughout the day. File folders to coordinate with your desk/office are a must. A quality planner is what will really keep you on track (and if you only use your phone calendar, I highly recommend using Evernote, as well). A journal is also an item I think is necessary to have with you at all times because you never know when you’ll need to jot something down (for me…constantly). Here’s to organizing in 2013!
1. Brittany Fuson Notepads (also featured in my Oklahoma Magazine column)
2. The Container Store File Folders (I own these exact ones and I love them)
3. Erin Condren Planner (I own an Erin Condren planner and am fully obsessed with it)
I love picking out new organization stuff! I am on the lookout for the perfect planner right now!! Love #5.

As embarrassed as I am to admit this, I kind of feel like I’m going to die when I don’t have my planner with me. It feels like my whole life is in that thing! Considering how much I use it, a cute one is a must. Adorable picks!
Getting organized is one of my resolutions in 2013, too! I bought this great moleskin planner that’s already super helpful. Love the post!

I’m obsessed with pen & paper for organization. As much as technology changes, I just love keeping track of appointments in my planner and color coded with different pens. Yes I’m such a weirdo! haha I’ve been hearing such amazing things about the Erin Condren planners.. maybe I need to check it out for 2014!

I’m with you!! Love being organized! Yes, you definitely need to check out the Erin Condren ones. Love them! xo, Julie
I wish I liked to use a planner but I find that I rely on my phone instead. I really like the idea of putting pen to paper but I usually forget my planner at home or it won’t fit in a number of my small bags so I simply stop using it. I really love the Erin Condren planner though!

I totally understand! Sometimes my planner isn’t with me, but as soon as I get home I’ll add the appts to it. I tend to put my appointments and meetings in both my phone and calendar haha! Definitely check out the Erin Condren planners…you’ll love! xo, Julie
LOVE the Brittany Fuson note pad 🙂
It is all so lovely 🙂
