96Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-USX-NONEX-NONE
For me, back-to-school season really means back to schedules and back to constantly feeling like I am forgetting something. Between work deadlines, the kids’ sports practices and games, school events, doctor appointments, and so on, I often feel like my head is spinning and I am scrambling nearly every minute of the day.
Like a lot you, I am visual person, which means I like to see my month’s activities all at once via a wall calendar hanging in my kitchen, where I jot down the year’s activities as they arise. Yeah, sorry Millennials, that Google calendar or so-hot-right-now planning app just doesn’t cut it for this old gal. But taking my giant calendar to the hair salon to make my next highlight appointment seems a bit crazy, too, which is why I recently embraced the beloved planner.
Comprised of layouts that are easy to view, planners are A#1 because they are organized, they are portable, they have extra space for to-do lists and YES, they are easy on the eyes! Below, I’ve rounded up the 11 prettiest and most useful planners to kick your school year off on the right note. Here’s to being the most organized girl on the block this 2017-2018 school year.
