Get Organized with Erin Condren

I received store credit to Erin Condren Design in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.

 Every single year I vow that I am going to be more organized. Every year I start out strong and come February I am pretty much a mess like always! I feel like I have tried everything. Two years ago I tried a giant color coded desk calendar thinking my husband and I could both write on it and know what was going on. Turns out pen and paper is not the best method for my husband. Knowing that, we tried electronic calendars in 2013. Turns out electronic is not the best method for me. This year I am combining the two. I am using pen and paper for myself and updating the electronic calendar with things my husband needs to be aware of.

I have been using my Erin Condren Planner for about a month now, why wait till the new year,right? And I love it! It has an extremely durable cover, which is great because it goes in and out of my purse all day. They have so many cute covers and patterns to choose from, I chose to go with the 2014 Life Planner-Collage. It is fun way to keep my favorite pictures visible.

I went ahead and added a pen holder and elastic bands to mine to make sure everything stays in one place, right where I need it. I think that the folder and zip pouch in the back are genius and so handy for holding little things. I am feeling so much more prepared for the year! Prices vary depending on add ons you choose, but the basic planner retails for $50.
