Hey everyone,
So a lot of people take a look at my agenda and are in major awe at how organized it looks. I mostly feel this is only because I use different pens to colour code everything and this is what is eye catching but regardless this is just some tips on how I keep myself organized.
Here’s just a little bit about the agenda I use:
So yes, I am that basic girl who has the infamous large Gold Dots Kate Spade agenda, but whatever haha. It retails for about $40 CAD but I found mine on a 50% off sale so I just had to pick it up. The first thing you see when you open it up is a spot for you to put your information in case your agenda gets lost and a pocket for you to store things. Then all the months from 2017 and 2018 are laid out for you. Next, there’s a tab for celebrations, followed by a section for notes. The celebrations are based on American dates, so if you're from Canada, like me, sucks for you.
Then begins the actual pages for planning. It starts from August of 2016 and goes to December of 2017, but I just ripped out everything before January 2017 to make it a bit lighter. Each month is laid out to start with the monthly and then the weekly view. Every month also has cute little suggestions that you could follow to change things up a bit. The weeks are laid out one-week per two pages and it starts from Monday and ends on Sunday. Lastly, between each month are pages for notes, as well as a laminated divider.
The pages itself are thick enough so ball point pens don’t leak through however ink pens and highlighter does somewhat show on the other side.
Now here’s how I organize my agenda:
