I have wanted a Personal Planner for a while now. I heard them mentioned on twitter often and they sounded great!
Imagine my excitement when I was offered the chance to review one! Not only that, I also have one to give away to one of you!
My blog has been getting very busy and I struggle to remember what I have to do and when. I use the notes section on my phone but this has let me down on several occasions and deleted all my memos. I was looking forward to writing things down in the old fashioned way but in a wonderful, beautiful planner!
I loved designing my planner. The Personal Planner website was easy to use and my photos uploaded quickly. As their name suggests you can personalise every aspect of the planner, from the cover to the layout of pages.
You can then add extra pages such as sheet music, colouring pages or many other options. I was tempted to chose the sheet music so I could write down guitar tab but I have a separate place for that and as this planner is for my blog it didn’t seem fitting. Instead I went for colouring pages and blank pages where I can Zentangle when I need some distractions.
I also got very excited that you can choose which month to start your diary on. You are usually limited to a calendar year or a term time diary. Why should we have to wait! If we need a new diary, we need a new diary!
You can add images to the front and back cover, text to the front and you can also choose the colour of the binding, ruler, etc.
There are elements throughout the planner that can be personalised too, You can choose the header design, add special dates and decide what you would like at the bottom of each page. I chose a ‘To Do’ list as I have lots to do at the moment.
When my planner arrived it was gorgeous! I love it!
If you would like a Personal Planner of your own leave a comment telling me what you would do with the planner if you won. Would you keep it for yourself and if so what would you use it for? Would you give it to someone who needs organising? 🙂 P.s. It is alright to keep it for yourself! I would!
Don’t forget to record your entry in the Rafflecopter below. There are also several additional ways to enter once you have left a comment.
The winner will be given a digital gift voucher for any size of planner or notebook from the Personal Planner website.
beautiful gift for my mum off the boys 🙂
I would use it every day!. I am so unorganised this would help me a lot
I would keep it as I need a new one! Thank you x
Oooo I would definitely keep it for myself! I would use it to help me keep track of the family appointments and play dates. I am forever getting into trouble for being late or missing things!
organise my blog better and my uni stuff around the kids xx
I would use it every day to keep on top of all the family’s important dates
I would use it for what it’s supposed to be used for – personal planning 😛
I would keep it as an extra brain
I would organise my very very hectic and chaotic life with four children, amasters degree and evrything else.x
I would keep it! X x
Get more organised – up date it with all the important dates we have coming up!
I so desperately need this – my 5 year old scribbled all over my teacher’s planner so I have nothing to put my timetables in or to plan my lessons in! Plus I could put pictures of my children on for when I am working long 12 hour days and missing their smiling faces 🙂
I’m totally reliant on a daily planner – would love to be able to tweak the design myself! 🙂
So beautiful! I would use it to organise myself.
I need this in my life!!! Ha xxxx
I would give it to my daughter-in-law who has a household full to organise. Children and my son always have places to be.
Get myself organised. Uni, gym, work 🙂
with two teenagers, the house runs on information. If its on the calendar its happening, if not then it doesn’t. I would put this in the kitchen for everyone to use
I think I would keep it for me it would be a good as am not very organised
I would use it to keep track of blog posts and book reviews. I set them up on my blog as they come in, but it would be nice to have a planner to hold in my hands where I can flip back and forth without having to wait for pages to load. :O)
I would love a planner, I totally rely on my calendar to keep me organised but this is no good when I am out and have to remember what’s on it.
I would use it to keep track of all the birthday parties and activities that my daughter has.
How lovely!! I am not sure what I would do if I won part of me thinks it would make the most lovely birthday gift, but then I with everything that’s going on I could use a little gift for me so…..!
Keep on top of things x
Wow – have searched high and low for a planner like this – love the personal aspect of it – it’s the perfect planner I’ve been craving to organise myself as a full time mum, please help! Thank you xx
I am a teacher and whilst we get given a standard planner at the start of each term, it often doesn’t have enough space and its definitely not as beautiful as your personal one! I’ve also just found out I’m pregnant – eeek! – so this would be amazing to keep my work and my now even busier personal life organised 🙂
I’d use it to put all my deadlines at university in it and all appointments and dates for my daughters too 🙂 xx
My son’s appointments – he has more of a social life then I do!
I’d love to keep it but it seems ideal for my very lovely friend and her madly busy family. I think it may be the thing for her Christmas pressie.
i would keep it for myself simply because i am the family organizer and i have to be able to remember the schedules of 6 different people
This would be absolutely perfect for me. I’ve recently taken the plunge to go self-employed again which means juggling 3 different kids that I work with each week, with family life etc. this would make organising all that so much easier! X
I am about to start an Open University course so I would use it to arrange my studies.
It would help me keep a note of all my hospital appointments and my sons activities
I would use it to try and organise my life
I’d be more organised if I won!!! 😀
i would use it
I would wrap it up and give it to my sister and her boys. Perfect for their busy lives. x
Keep it with me always!
I would use it to organise my crazy life!
I would use it to keep all my work appointments organised
I need it to try and keep up with all the family’s comings and goings 🙂
I’d use it every day! I’ve currently resorted to leaving post-its around the house.
I would get myself organised
i would totally use it !
Plan my life to the tee
I would use it to mark important dates in it
I’d keep it and use it like you have, for a blog planner
I had 1 of these for this year – I had 2 pictures from the previous year put on it and to be honest the year is going so quick but when I look at them it feels like a lifetime ago. I would use this for myself again
Finally be able to keep track of everyone instead of trying to keep track of my post its’
I’d use it to plan and write down all the places I have to take my three children.
I think I’d use this religiously as I’m quite disorganised by nature and can’t afford to be with a son nearly 5 with a hectic social schedule, and a new baby daughter aged just 9 weeks.
i would use it for all the appointments with have
i would use it to plan my week better and keep myself organised
I would love to use this myself to help me restart my blog, to get some studying and volunteering done while I prepare for a career change as I keep my busy family (2 under 6) together
Use it for every day activities and ,meal planning
