Planner: Graphic Image // Pants: Ann Taylor // Sweater: Ann Taylor // Scarf: Ann Taylor // Heels: Steve Madden
Can we just take a second to appreciate that 2019 is here!! I love the thought of a new year and what all it brings. Anytime there is an opportunity for something “new”, it always feels so refreshing. I took the liberty of getting new 2019 Graphic Image planner to start planning the new year out!
Last year, I had the 2018 Graphic Image planner which was a huge life saver for me! This past year I finished up grad school while working a job and then after graduating went into the real world with meetings. Throughout the months, my life got a little crazy and my Graphic Image planner was the only thing keeping me together haha.
For me, the best part about the planner is how it is broken down into weeks, days, and hours! On one single page, you can see your whole week in hours. This is super helpful because I live my life hourly and like to plan my full week out on Sunday.
How I Start Planning The Year!
The first step for me in planning the new year is looking back at the past year! I move over all important dates such as birthdays, yearly events, etc. from old planner to the other new one. After that I go through and start looking at months ahead. Already, I have a couple work trips, blog trips and other events planned out for January so I add all those to the 2019 planner.
Writing dates down in a planner is a much more efficient way for me to remember things than putting them in my phone. I am a very visual person so having a physical thing with everything written down helps me feel more organized!
I am always looking to be a better planner, so how do you plan for the year? Leave me a comment below:)
