I must admit thatI love planners. I like the clear format, small decorative details and ample areas to fill in personal details. There are usually plenty of options available online and in stores. Leading up to the start of each year, you'll find calendars, planners and diaries flooding the shelves. And yes, i love digital planners, too.
A planner helps me toremember what is ahead during the day, and what I need to do. After all, I'm never going to get another attempt at each day so I'd prefer to run my day rather than the day running me. I like feeling that I am using my day well. But owning and using a planner doesn't automatically mean that my day or week, for that matter, runs smoothly or that I finish everything I'd added to my daily planner. So.. that's why I was interested in reading Simplify your Life: Get Organised and Stay that Way. This book is like a handbook for developing techniques and strategies that will help you manage your busy schedules. More than that, it will help you find a more satisfying life than the constant frenetic busyness we call life.
'Manage what you must, but organise what you care about.. and what your'e all about.' M.Ramsland
