My daily planner

I am completely unorganized by nature, but yet my planner is my best friend. It’s one of those simple ring binder journals you can pick up from any office supply store. White paper. No ruled lines to hinder my venturesome handwriting and doodling.

I’m an obsessive note-taker and fill pages to the margins with to do lists, rough sketches, and ideas for blog posts, especially when I’m on the phone or watching some of my favorite shows. I’ve tried to use the ‘notes’ feature on my phone when I’m out and about, but find it difficult to quickly ‘jot something down’ when I’m worried about spelling things right. Who does that? I hate fat-finger spelling and can usually spot it a mile away when I read someone else’s work. Scandalous admission? I even have a pad of sticky notes in my bag.

Sometimes I hate that my mind works so hard to be a “Type A”.
