Happy New Year!
We had a very low key New Years Eve celebration: simple seafood dinner (lobster tails, crab and langostino) with the little ones, topped off with wine (white + sparkling) for me and my mister.
Since then, I've been focusing on revamping my calendar/time management/task management system for 2013. Right now, it looks like this (descriptions are from bottom to top):
1. Erin Condren Life Planner - Even though I have a TON of gadgets (MacBook Pro, iPhone and a few iPads), I have truly struggled to maintain an electronic calendar. I just couldn't get it to work for me. I'd heard about the Erin Condren planner for over a year and finally buckled down in August (I purchased an 18 month planner, so I won't need a new one until this time next year) so I could get my act together when school started. I really love it so far.
2. Paper Coterie Coilbound Journal - I placed a large order at Paper Coterie for the holidays and threw in this journal for myself on a whim. I can't resist putting my Instagrams to use. It's a basic coilbound notebook with lined pages. I plan on using it for business brainstorming and for writing blog drafts. I used to use a SMASH journal for this purpose.
3. Stitched Moleskine Cahier Journal - My ONLY complaint re: the Erin Condren planner is that there isn't nearly enough room for my multiple to-do lists. I could probably solve the problem by investing in a massive daily planner (similar to one I use to use when I worked a 9 to 5 corporate job), but I have no interest in lugging an extra five pounds around in my purse everyday. In December, I ended up using a Moleskine notebook to keep track of projects and to make notes on a daily basis. For the most part, it worked well; well enough that I decided to give it a shot for 2013.
I stitched "JAN" on a pocket sized Moleskine for myself (my preference is always grid paper) and decided to whip up a few more for the shop:
There are multiple cover/page style options to choose from. You can find them here. January is the only month currently available, but I hope to have gift packs (in three, six and twelve month sets) availabe shortly!
Also brand new in the shop:
Stitched + personalized pocket Moleskine 2013 Weekly Planners! I decided to carry these planners by customer request; many customers loved my stitched Moleskine notebooks, but really needed a planner as well. Perfect! Check them out right here.
Both of the little ones are at gymnastics camp for another few hours, so I'm going to try to cross a few items off of my to-do list. Have a great day!
