Last week brought the release of the new Erin Condren planners and the dilemma of what style to go with. I am currently a vertical, colorful fan! I have also been using the daily petite and loving it. When I saw the new Daily Duo option, which is a spiral daily planner, I was intrigued. I debated over whether to make the switch or not. Ultimately I decided to stay with the vertical because I love having the weekly view.
So I decided to see if there was a way I could rework the use of my vertical planner to bring in some aspects I liked from the daily. Previously I have been using my vertical boxes as (top) morning, (middle) afternoon, (bottom) evening.
In my petite daily I had been using the three sections as appointments, to-do's and hobby. I have really been liking the listing area. I loved all the space to jot down things to do and ideas I have. I just wanted to try and keep it all in one planner instead of two.
So I decided to try it out now instead of waiting for my new planner! I put appointments at the top, to-do's in the middle and hobby at the bottom. On the side, I'm writing things I need to do this week that don't have a specific day. Then I can plug them in where I decide to do them. I'm still keeping my dinner ideas at the bottom of each day, in the shaded area.
So far I'm really loving this! I basically fill in all my appointments at the beginning of the week, then can fill in my to do's and hobby items as I go. I get to keep my weekly layout that I love, plus incorporate a daily style as well.
I LOVE that these planners are so versatile. What works for me, someone else might use in a totally different way. For more planner inspiration join us over on our Simple Organized Erin Condren Planner Facebook Page!
