One of my goals for the new year was to get myself more organized. The first thing I did was buy myself a super duper all in one planner. I went with the Chaos Simplified Women’s Planner. I have to admit, it was probably the most expensive planner I’ve ever bought, but soooo worth the money.

For each month, there is a monthly view AND a weekly view. That right there, is totally worth the extra cash. Each month also has a folder. I’ve been using the folders to store any bills or letters I’ll need for that month. Here are some other awesome features for each month:

a page to budget your monthly expenses
any notes about you or your family for the month
general thoughts you may have about anything you want to write down
each day during the week has a space to write your supper menu plan
a place to write down any tasks you need to do or phone calls to make

And so much more…

It has helped me stay on track. I’m not saying I always follow my meal plan to a T, but by Saturday evening, I have a good idea of what we are eating for the next week.
I also love having everything in one book. It’s so much better for me to only have one book to keep track of. What are my overall thoughts on this planner?
I’m in love and it totally fits my OCD in office supplies.
