NEW PLANNER / KIND OF A BIG DEAL

I ordered a new planner the other day. It's kind of a big deal. First of all, it's taken me forever (meaning it's still trying to happen) to get into routine here and seriously plan out my days. I don't know what it is - probably a combination of Douglas being gone so much and just being in a completely new place. So this purchase was a bribe to myself to pull it together. It's feeling pretty good so far. I have two weeks planned out. We'll see. 
It's also a big deal because I really like school/office supplies and have trouble actually following through and using something as it should be used. Instead I just like to pile supplies together and look at them. See? This isn't really a big deal at all. I just wanted to mention it because I feel like some of you can sympathize.
It's also a big deal in an exciting way because I saw this very planner about four years ago when I visited Montreal with my dad. It was our last day there, and that morning we took a long walk and ended up at stationary store that was as close to perfection as anything I've seen. I loved everything about the planner immediately. But I couldn't justify spending the money on it as I had no life to plan back then. So I was reunited with this planner over the internet about a week ago, and it felt right this time. So here we are. Hopefully we can do great things together. 
Why do I always have at least three pens, usually the exact same kind, lying around whenever I'm working. I don't know, but it's probably the same reason I'd write a semi-emotional post about a planner.

  1. I love new planners! I already ordered mine for 2013 and since my planner from 2012 was so colorful, I went with a simple black moleskine for 2013! Now I'm looking at yours and kind of loving the colors!

  2. WHY three pens? Because You always need more than one Sharpie Pen because they are the BEST KIND!

  5. Love this post! I am equally obsessed with Office Supply Stores and office supplies but, as you know, am incapable of using them appropriately! :)

  6. I can relate to this post so much! I just received my 2013 planner from a kickstarter campaign and I just sat there staring at it for hours. Pretty sure we could make a club called Office Supply Lovers or something along those lines, and just talk office supplies.

  7. I'm a nut about planning, when I take trips I'll even make binders full of possible places to visit or eat (categorized by cost, mostly free or cheap). Sometimes my organization is annoying, especially to my boyfriend haha. Anyway, I love this post so much. Not exactly sure why, but I really really love it. Good luck!
