Posted: 22 June 2011 at 7:42am |
Does anyone use one on a daily basis? If so do you find them helpful & are you more organised? 
I saw this one, Planner & really like the format. Is there anything more NZ out there like this?
I want to do a daily planner, weekly planner, meal plans, shopping plan, fitness, budget..you name it everything & with a contact section in the back.
I want to be able to slip it in my bag & take it with me...oh & I love writing list

I just have a diary that I refer to several times a day. I prefer one with times down the side so I can schedule appointments

Is there an app you use ? If so which one, please |
A mixture really:
I use the calendar to schedule babysitting/evenings out with DH .
I use MyFitnessPal for fitness/diet stuff.
ShopShop for shopping list.
The next version of software for iPhone (iOS5) has a task list/calender integrated with it which is great.
It's due to be released in August/September but I have the beta version of this so have it already on my phone.

I use spreadsheets and laminated charts. As long as you have a big handbag I'm sure they'll fit.
I'm a lister, charter, planner person, can't live without it.

I like writing things by hand too, lists for groceries, lists for things I need to do, lists for things I want to buy in the future, lists for what I need to get done around the house, lists for what I need to to at work.
I recently bought a notebook from Uncle Bills which is smaller than an A5 and it has three tabs so I can split my lists out. LOVE IT.

I  kikki-k. I have been using their diaries for about 5 years now and they are beautiful.
This year I have got one that looks a bit like a filofax. It is a beautiful petrol blue. I have also started a central file for home. There are heaps of free printables on organising sites. I have put in my flylady stuff, weekly planner, monthly calendar, monthly meal planner....

Ohh is that like a Home Management Binder jaycee? I've seen them mentioned on a lot of american blogs, they seem to be quite popular in the states.
I quite like the idea of having all that sort of info in one place actually.

It is a getting a website for trying to get back in control of the mess
It has some helpful info and a rotation system for your rooms, both cleaning and decluttering. I don't do it all the time but when the house is a bomb site I will do it for a while just to get on top of it again.
Did you get a planner jazzy?

I have just bought a binder and made my own as I have never found anything I like that is pre-made.
There are loads of free printables to help. If you want I can put a link or two?
