Anyone else a planner nerd?

Published

Finding motivation in the most appropriate of places today with my Happy Planner. I'm starting an ADN program this spring and I'm anticipating it to be rough. I wanted to share this bc I think this quote is powerful.

I LOVE planners! In the past I've used Plum Paper and Lily Pulitzer. I would love to try Erin Condren someday, and I'm using Personalized-Planner this summer. Currently I just have a Blue Sky Planner because I need all of the space to write! I also use Google Calendar as my electronic "back up". I also have Google Calendar as an app so it sends me reminders :) In addition, I have a monthly dry-erase calendar that I use for the "at a glance" each day before I sleep & when I wake up.

For those of you who want a planner similar to Erin Condren but can't stomach the cost, I highly recommend Plum Paper! (Found on etsy).

I'm also a pen addict. Right now I love Frixion Clicker Pens. They're erasable pens that click and write smoothly. I like them even more than G2 pens!

Thanks for the pen tip! I really like the G2 pens too. I think I was born in the wrong century lol.

I use my Google calendar and things can be color coded. It's been very useful.

I do this too. Each family member has a color and bills have a color.

My planner is my diary. LOL but really, I'd be so lost without it. Even after graduating from nursing school I still use it every day.

Time management was a huge part of nursing school for me.. so those that do not currently use a planner I highly recommend getting one!

Use plum paper planner in work bag, EC in purse, wall calendar at home in bedroom, regular pocket planner in home office, and also use Google calendar. I have to have it all written down somewhere!

$50-60 for a planner? SMH. I CAN afford it now that I'm a nurse but as a student no way. I've never heard of this Erin Cochran brand until this thread. As a student I would have used the money for gas or other important nursing school supplies. I bought myself a $1.00 calendar with stickers at the dollar store and decorated myself to how I needed you work for me.

Woops, the brand name is Condren. My bad.

I love the happy planner.

They're structured like the life planner but for only half the price.
