Today I sat down to plan the week ahead but encountered stale-brain and unmotivated lethargy.  Because I’m responsible not only for my schedule but also for my husband’s, I couldn’t afford to stay uninspired for long.  Enter these creative planners who helped me get back on track just by looking at their clever works of art.

The creamy luster of the pearls plus golden words and candlelight created peace and banished my pre-planning anxiety.

The graphic design, black-and-white repeat-pattern, frame, generous use of white space and bold colors made me smile.

Neon brightness of the Filofax Fluoro Pink always boosts my mood.  Juxtapose it against polka dots, plenty of bows and a hot pink tassel and I’m feeling that much happier!

Polka dots and bunting plus camel, brown and cream layer beautifully against this planner’s gorgeous handwriting.

Doesn’t mean you’re negative, pessimistic or opinionated.  Just indicates you’re a critical thinker, not being blindly led.

Right now we’re in the midst of Milan Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 2016 offerings.  When a polished designer wants us to pay for the privilege of looking worse than we do when we awake in the morning, that’s where we should draw the line.

Before I got involved in the planner community, the act of planning filled me with dreaded anxiety.   Now that I’ve immersed myself in the world of Filofax fans, Erin Condren creatives and Kikki K. connoisseurs, I not only enjoy planning but also look forward to referencing my layouts during the week.

Part of the fun is in the colorful themes of planner accessories.  Here are some of my recent favorites.

My Favorite Planner Pens: Pretty Writing in Filofax, Erin Condren, Kikki.K

Link Leave a comment

Being a pen addict is in my DNA.  After church every week, Dad would stop off at the convenience store for ice cream and PaperMate’s Flair markers.  Mom, my three siblings and I would wait in the car shivering in the Erie, Pennsylvania winters, anticipating the new colors he would choose.  My favorites were hot pink, purple and green.

I still love Flairs yet somehow continue to raid the aisles of stores and online for the next pen that will make my writing experience that much more enjoyable.  Here are some of my favorites, not because of their outward appearance but how they feel.

STAEDTLER TRIPLUS FINELINERS.

These have triangular barrels! So much fun and they improve my writing.
