Does anyone use one on a daily basis? If so do you find them helpful & are you more organised?
I saw this one, http://simplemom.net/tools/downloads/ - 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 -------------

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. ------------- Sarah Mum to, Boy 07/2008, Girl 03/2010, Boy 05/2012, Angel  07/08/2014

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

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? -------------

| to me its all about looks...when it comes to a planner. It is so easy to do it on the computer or mobile but to write it out you want it to look good & a stylish planner will add to it. |

| Yes, I needed a https://momagenda.com/products/new-self-care-planner" rel="nofollow - self-care planner . It's much easier with him. You don't forget anything. And this is very difficult when you have a lot of work and also a family and children. And with a self-care planner, it's much easier to remember. This is a good gift for moms. Because they have so many things to do that they can sometimes forget about. |
