I have an addiction … to paper goods.

I love notebooks, notecards, to-do lists, calendars, etc., but above them all is my love for planners. I’m notorious for going through 3-5 different planners in a given year. I cannot seem to stick with just one because I fall out-of-love with them for one reason or another.

That is until I finally purchased The Simplified Planner created by Emily Ley. I debated and debated on pulling the trigger and I cannot believe I waited as long as I did! It’s a lifesaver to put it mildly. Emily has really brainstormed the use of planners, what we want in them, how are they supposed to help our daily lives and has ultimately come up with her vision of the perfect day planner.

View your Month-at-a-Glance (I love that holidays are already printed in the planner!).

… but then get to work on your daily agenda with each day having its OWN page! (this was what ultimately sold me on the planner as I need space & was sick of having a planner and a to-do list notebook).

A column broken down by the hour to plan out your day and a perfectly planned to-do list right next to it. There is also room for additional notes and a place to plan your dinner for the evening. (if I’d just stick to using that space properly…)

Laminated & color coded tabs make it a breeze to flips through the months.

… and each day comes with an inspirational quote too! (no excuse not to seize the day!)

A hard, durable cover (that’s equally stylish) and thick white pages make the planner worth every penny. The 2014 planner is sold-out, but sign up for her emails to stay in the loop for when she plans to release the 2015 edition!

Keep Living a Stylized Life.
