Get Organised for the New Year
January 8, 2013 in Lifestyle
Well here we are, smack bang into the second week of January 2013 – already!
I don’t know about you, but I don’t really like to make big sweeping New Year’s resolutions. I prefer to set smaller goals that will help me in my everyday life.
One of these little goals is to be a bit more organised. I am pretty organised by nature – a true Virgo at heart – but I think I can do even better. Even though we live in a tech savvy age, I find there’s nothing quite like writing a To Do list or recording your appointments in a diary. And so before the New Year had even graced us with its presence, I bought myself one very cute and practical diary from kikki.K (as seen in this post).
I’ve already filled it out with all the birthdays of the special people in my life, scheduled in my personal training sessions, hair appointments and have even begun a countdown to my wedding (less than eight weeks to go now!). All of this has helped me to feel more organised and ready to tackle this very busy start to 2013. It also inspired me to write this post!
So here are some stylish and useful diaries and planners to help get you organised for the year ahead…
1. kikki.K DIY Perpetual Desk Calendar ($19.95) // 2. Pink Spot 2013 Planner from Target (on sale $17.50) // 3. Page by Paige 2013 Desk Calendar from Etsy (on sale approx. $8.81) // 4. kikki.K 2013 Wall Planner ($12.95) // 5. Frankie Magazine 2013 Calendar ($29.95) // 6. kikki.K 2013 A6 ‘Hello Sunshine’ Weekly Diary ($19.95) // 7. Tiffany & Co Heart Lock Diary ($230.00)
Are you a little old school like me and use a diary or planner? Or are you totally techy when it comes to being organised?
Stay Chic,

I love diaries and to-do lists! I used to religiously get moleskin diaries but these days I’m trying to do things electronically. I was going to observe that I find it annoying having to wait for google calendar to load but wouldn’t it be interesting to map that time against how long it takes to fish around in my bag for diary + to flick to right page?
That said, I like the idea of a year-long wall calendar which gives good view of what’s on this year. Thanks for the idea and wishing you a happy new year!
I’d like to be better at putting everything in my iPhone…and I’d also like to get an iPad this year! A year planner really is a great way to visualise everything that’s coming up. S xx
