Anyone else a planner nerd?

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.

Okay, now I have to know what etsy store you have :)! I also have been tempted to buy some stickers off of etsy!

I put stickers in my etsy cart all the time! I'm going to purchase them one day!

I found my people!!! I'm a HUGE planner nerd! Before I started nursing school, I actually surfed these discussion boards on which to buy, leading me to chose the uncalendar. That thing is BUILT for list checkers like me :) it's not as pretty as some others but it works SO WELL!!! I converted several other people in my nursing class, and my husband bought 2 :) I can't recommend it to others enough. It organizes my entire life, not just school and work. I plan my meals, grocery lists, workout routines, social commitments, class, clinical, work, and study blocks. I tried once to stop using it over a holiday break and that lasted 2 days before I went back to it. I'm on my second one, and the beauty is that you use EVERY page because you choose the dates. If you go on a trip, you can easily skip that week and not lose a page in the planner. No waste :)

I'm so relieved to hear that so many people are nerds like me! Id be lost without mine :) the uncalender has so many great reviews!

I am, I will be doing a blog on it this coming Tuesday. It's a fun way to be encouraged to look in your planner often.

Here are some examples of planning in Evernote:

Evernote - part of an exam preparation for one of my classes.

Evernote ties nicely into the free Sunrise planner. Plus if you like to automate https://ifttt.com/ has free recipes that will automate Evernote (for example pulling in emails, calendar items, pinterest images, etc).

For the electronic gurus: Planner Plus for ipad synchs with Google calendar. It has day/week/month/tasks tabs as well.

Thanks for this! I just got an iPad and I've been freaking out because I didn't think I could get it synced! People say you can sync Google calendar with the iPad's system calendar, but I can not 😞

My g'rents just bought me a Franklin Covey Classic. I'm starting classes in two weeks and I have NO idea how to use this thing. I mostly just use my iPhone calendar and the iPhone Reminders app. How do you guys use paper planners? I always forget to write things in it and I forget to look at it but if anyone has tips for using paper planners if be ever so grateful! I'm mom to a 15yo who plays sports, I'm on a local, small school board, and I don't work. THANKS!

Atlas89, I use Sunrise Calendar on the iPad (which pulls in from Google Calendar, and syncs with Evernote).

@ SparrowDFW I would love that code please!

@ariesRNSoon, I have a code available as well in case Sparrow doesn't respond. Let me know if you need it (wanna give Sparrow a shot first considering any time someone uses the referral link it gives the originator a discount as well:)). Message me if you still need it.

I just bought a Happy Planner and I absolutely love it. They are just like the Erin Condren calendar but half the price. I actually bought the 18 month planner and it was half off so I paid $12.99 for it.

I am a planner nerd! People think I'm nuts but I save dates of exams, too numbers etc in google calendar. I also plan naps, readings (and how long it'll take), amount of notes, etc. I don't see how people don't plan.

Also a planner junkie! I tried the Erin condren, wasn't too pleased with their quality or customer service. Now I flip flop between a hobonichi, various Filofaxes, Kikki.k, and inkwell press! Cool to see so many nursing students who love planning!
