I find that as I get busier with blogging, schooling, and working; I need more organization! I’ve tried organizing on my computer/iPhone, but I find it hard to follow little dots on my calendar. I’ve tried free online calendar sources, but it often takes more time to enter the information than what I want to do. I think I am better off with a written planner…
Home Educating Family sent me an On the Go planner, so I could try it out. There are a LOT of features in it that I like and will work well for me.
The planner includes pages for notes and pages to help keep track of major homemaking projects, as well as, daily cleaning.
I LOVE how each month has a “Monthly Management” page to keep track of money matters. I currently keep a separate notebook for bills, so it will be nice to keep everything in one place.
I feel that the weekly calendar pages are well-laid out with different ways to organize my plans. The top part has plenty of room to keep track of my goals for each day. I plan on using different colored pens for each area of responsibility. Just below that, the squares are divided by 3-hour blocks of time. The bottom squares? A spot for dinner plans.
Overall, I think this is a great planner; however, there are a couple of things that I would like to see changed. I would like to see the cover be a little heavier weight of cardstock. Since this is something that I will carry in my bag, I’m anxious to see if the cover makes it completely through an entire year. Also, I like to close my planner when it is not in use, so I would like to see a tab for each month. That way, I can open to the correct month easily. The first thing I did (after taking pictures) was to put my own tabs on the first page of each month. The current price for the On the Go planner is $15.95, and I think this is a good price; however, I would be willing to pay more for heavier covers and tabs.
