You didn't think the giveaways ended just because the holidays were over did you? I know I've said this a few times, but I'm bound and determined to get SUPER organized this year (if I keep saying it, it will happen, right?).
Now, just because my organization game could use a little love, don't think that I'm not well prepared! I've had a small planner addiction for quite some time and am here to pass that addiction on to you this month (for those of you fellow addicts, consider me your personal enabler!).
We're giving away some of my favorite planners all month long...
Welcome to January's giveaways and the start of Pip Tip Tuesdays! Every Tuesday look for a post with some fun tips and theΒ giveaway of an awesome planner.Β Follow along all month for a chance to win the January Grand Prize (keep your eyes on social media for the reveal later this month)!
Today's #PipTipTuesday
I'm gonna start with a basic one here, but it's one that I think is super important and if you actually DO IT, you're half way there...and then the fun part comes.
Β Make time to plan.
Whether you are planning your day-to-day, setting goals, trying to cut down on sugar, planning an event, orΒ just doing your best to make good use of that super cute new planner you bought (lol), setting one time of the week to do it is important.
With everything that I've got going on, this totally won't happen unless it's ingrained in my schedule. So, just like my Saturday afternoon nap (which is set in stone and everyone who knows me KNOWS not to call between 2-4pm!), I set 30 minutes every Sunday night after the kids are down, andΒ plan out my week.
A nice cup of tea, glass of wine, or sparkly beverage definitely helps too (maybe that's it's own tip, haha)!
Today's Giveaway: ban.do Planner

I consider the things I do EVERY WEEK (bath days for my little one, planning time, library runs, groceries) and make sure to keep stocked up on those specific planner stickers, that way I can Sticker slap my way through my basic weekly layout.

I like it simple. I make lists and check things off as I go.

I use stickers to motivate me to exercise! I keep a calendar next to the stationary bike, and each day I use it, I get to put a sticker on the calendar.

I set aside time on Sunday evening to meal plan and write everything for the week in my planner. Thatβs when I get out my stickers and decorate too! I have to add things as the week goes on, but that way I have the critical stuff in place ahead of time.

I always, always, always use different colored pens for different events, especially now that I am in graduate school and need to keep track of different classes as well as a part-time work schedule that constantly changes! On occasion Iβll add an adorable kitty-shaped sticky notes if I need to add more info into a section~
