Organize in Style: Erin Condren Life Planners


I’m a techie.  I use an iPhone and a blackberry (one for personal, one for work, natch).  I have an iPad and a Mac laptop. And an iTouch.  And I use them all, often simultaneously.  However, I have yet to find an App that really gets my life streamlined and in check. (I’ve tried them all).  Let's just say that organizational skills are not my strong suit.  I've learned that if I really need to get things done, I know I need to use that old relic called a pen and write it down on real, tangible paper (yes, it still exists).  But I’ve also learned that I'm much more inclined to be organized when that paper is pretty and I’m proud to carry it with me.  Those plain office-issued datebooks just don’t do it for me, but Erin Condren’s Life Planners (which come in several other styles in addition to the one above, including ones with photos) are the supermodels of schedulers. Not only do they have the standard monthly and weekly calendars you would expect, but they also include food logs, and even newborn feeding logs for new moms.  (It's so fancy they even have a video showing all the great things you can do with it.) The 2011-2012 versions are just out, and they sell like hot cakes (Brooke Burke is a big fan).   With one of these in my purse, I may not only look like I’ve got everything control, I may actually have it under control (on some days, at least).  Now if only I could do something about organizing my closet...
