Planner Essentials

My last DT post for the week is featuring the planner stamp set Scheduled by The Ton, which has a nice inline font type. Please visit their blog, share with friends, and spread some love! Feel free to use the social media icons at the bottom of this entry to share/repost! ♡ ♡ ♡

It is available for pre-order and anticipated ship date is February 1, 2015.

Now, before you read ahead, I have to say that I'm new to using planners in this fashion. I've used agendas before but never have I used stickers and stamps to decorate a planner. I didn't even realize there was a whole planner community! Here's the Erin Condren Life Planner I was given as a RAK (random act of kindness). You can click on the pictures to get a closer look.

My planner essentials:

I use the ECLP for work and school, the middle gold one as a gratitude journal (another gift to me), and the thin black one (for a dollar from Target!) for keeping track of card challenges and design team calls/deadlines. The sparkly pens on the bottom left are from PenGems and are gorgeous!

Planner stickers are from different retailers, including @theresetgirl on Instagram.

So let's open the planner now and see how I used my planner supplies.

I think the font type is adorable. The icons are fun. It's pretty cool to set aside some time just to plan out your week. This is actually my practice planner since I'm still trying to figure out what system works best for me.

Scheduled includes icons to keep track of your daily water intake, for common errands, and even ones to create your own lists. I used the hearts inside the small boxes and the arrows on the left side of my planner page. You can keep track of your daily meals as well. I think my favorite icon is the one for the cell phone. You know we use that daily! ;-)

I would love for you to visit The Ton blog and leave them some comments. They are available on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Please SUBSCRIBE for details! We have a small blog hop scheduled for Monday, February 2. Do stop by for a chance to win an amazing prize package.
