I can tell that the holidays are over, because all of a sudden I’m getting super busy again at work. Travel, appointments, and new projects are starting to take over my desk. While I use Google Calendar to keep track of appointments and meetings (as required per our company), my “to do” list is comprised of various sticky notes and scribbles on hotel scrap paper pads.
So I was quite excited to have the opportunity to review a nifty paper planner from a company that is based in MICHIGAN (woo hoo!). I love that it has one spread per week and a “life to do list” and a “work to do list” on detachable strips. Now if I can just figure out which is which (with my business classes and blogging and networking, the lines can get kind of fuzzy!) Another bonus? It’s super pretty! Here’s the complete list of features:
Busy professional meets busy life—brought together with a fashionable flair! Efficiently keep track of all appointments: personal, professional and family!? Record recurring meetings, activities and appointments. You’re sure to love this life-saver of a planner!
Size: 7 x 9 inches with pocket folder
17-month planners, September 2010-January 2012
Up-to-date leather cover colors
Stylish interior designs make it fun!
Perforated margins for “grab and go” lists make errands easier!
Monthly and weekly planning pages printed on crisp white paper
“Perfect “binding with ribbon bookmark
Unique planning tools and notes pages
My only beef is that the pages themselves aren’t perforated; I like to be able to remove planner pages that have passed. But other than that I highly recommend it — and some of my colleagues at work are already planning to get their own.

This would be for my mother. This would be such a help to her as she likes to keep track of what is going on in the family. With her own kids and then some grandkids and my father and the events and appointments this would be a great item for helping to do this. Right now she has things on post-it notes around a desk.
Between helping my husband at the church, substitute teaching and after school tutoring I need all the help I can get to keep my life organized. Thanks for offering the giveaway.
between a full time job, a part time job which requires driving to different locations and other commitments i could certainly use some organizational help.
This has been my planner of choice for the last few years. LOVE it. So much room to write things down and the covers are just beautiful. Can’t say enough about them.
Working 40+ hours in a lab with a different list of jobs everyday, plus keeping my home in one piece, this would be awesome!
This planner would make my life easier by helping me keep track of my son’s appointments. I would also use it to keep track of different things going on on my blog and different blog deadlines.

We have a photography business, bt I never know when y husband schedules appointments. This would be good to keep up them,
This would help me balance work and family better!
The planner would be helpful to write down doctor appointments for my hubby & I and other appointments we might have.
If I had a better planner, AND remembered to USE it, I might remember where my daughter’s playdate is, when all her birthday parties are, when all my clients expect me, when I might actually have a romantic date, and if I have scheduled some luscious down-time for myself….
I love paper planners! I have never been able to make the switch to online. I love to be able to see everything laid out. Thanks for a lovely giveaway!

i could really use a planner to keep all of my dates straight and to store all of my lists.
Because post-it notes and a wall calendar just doesn’t cut it with three kids ….
I’m going back to college, so a planner would help me keep up with my classes and homework assignments.
I currently use a wall calendar to track things, but I’d love something I could take with me.

Starting a business with my husband along with working full time and going to school full time along with taking care of my kids and pets makes it difficult at time to track appointments. i have reminders everywhere. This would help me get it all in one place. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would be able to keep track of all my goals and scheduled events without having to marry up all the various calendars I own.
