As you see here, I bought a planner for the year. I did not want an expensive Franklin Covey or anything like that, but I wanted something that was fun to look at... something that would inspire me to open it up. I found this at Wal-Mart, for about $6. And I love the little photo sleeve! It has just what I need... month at a glance and lines for my to make small lists of what I want to accomplish during the week.I made a list before I went to bed last night. then I actually did 4/6 of the things on that list today. It feels good to see check marks next to the things I got done, and to realize there were things I did that were not on the list at all.
I've got a multitude of thoughts running through my head. You might catch glimpses of them on here if I post more than once a week, or if they make it to my Facebook status. My track record with New Year's resolutions is pretty spoor, so I think I'll cling to Micah 6:8 and hope for a little bit of Proverbs 31 in there somewhere.

i like your book! Just remember that life should be about tastes...not tasks. Enjoy things even if that means not getting everything done.
Oh, yes. But I have not enjoyed living in a state of complete chaos and uncertainty, and I am enjoying my 2nd day of seeking some balance. I'm ok with not getting everything done. Especially when it means extra time with Buddy or Bear on my lap.
I've been using that planner since I was in high school. . .LOVE it! I used to get it in all three sizes, now it is just my pocket planner and this year my desk planner.
love your planner - I should get myself one - I love lists and used to do them all the time when I worked full-time in the office. I never thought to have one after I had kids - I mean really - what would I put on it? Change 10 diapers, do 14 feedings and try to get in a nap!?!! smiles! seriously, your post motivates me to try to go back to one! it'll be good for me! Especially since kids are so distracting anyways - maybe it'll help me remember things! Happy New Year!
G- great minds think alike. :) Or did you rub off on me? ;)
R- That's how I felt until this year... I had very little desire to use one. This one is just right for me, not too complicated, not too big, but big enough.
Im a list person myself only because i have a horrible memory but it does feel great at the end of the day to see all the those check marks. good luck!
