I have an unhealthy obsession with all things organization and my one true love is my planner. I do not go anywhere without my planner because I would go crazy without out. Over the years I have developed an utmost sophisticated way of decorating my planner to make sure I never forget anything, even if it something as silly remembering to give my dogs their medicine once a month.
This addiction to planners has helped me discover some great products that help ensure I have fun while planning out my busy schedule and I am eager to share some of these with you!
High-Quality Pens, Preferably In Lots of Colors
This is your first essential, besides a planner of course! Having quality pens that will not bleed through your pages and you can use to color code school, work, and different appointments will help you be able to quickly glance through your planner and see what is coming up within the week.
Magnetic Page Markers
Trust me, they are not as expensive as you think and they are so helpful! Magnetic bookmarks will allow you to quickly flip to your week marked as well as any other important note pages in your planner. These also normally come in packs of at least two or three, which means you will have additional markers to use for your notes or your favorite bedtime story.
Stickers
I know this one seems silly, but it is probably my favorite and one of the more useful products you can get. You can purchase organization stickers for things like "study," "dentist bookmarks or "test time." But you could also get cute little stickers of cacti or popcorn to put next to super important times because you will be more likely to remember an event if you have something fun taking note of it.
Sticky Notes
No matter how big or small, sticky notes are trusted by us all. We are all guilty of perfectly planning out our week… and then realizing we forget to add in a last minute study cram session. Don't fret! You don't have to white out your entire week! Instead, find some cute little sticky notes and stick it on top of the day you forgot to plan on. You are guaranteed to remember because it's popping out at you and you won't have to redo your perfectly done schedule.
Washi Tape
I know, I know, we are getting organized, not making a scrapbook, but hear me out. Finals are coming, there is an important meeting, or your bookmarks know you'll have a hectic week coming up - there is nothing better than something bright and cute to help take a little stress out of your days. Washi tape will help you decorate your planner and using it right will give you a reminder that a specific day or week is important by allowing it to stand out even more.
No matter what your planning style is there are just some products you cannot go without and these are for sure my top five. Have other suggestions for being super organized? Share them!!! Everyone is always looking for ways to optimize their organization and get creative at the same time.
