Addicted

I have a confession... I am an addict.

To planning. And organizing. And color coding. And planning.



I recently joined a Facebook group called "Planner Addicts" that was started by Toni from A Bowl Full of Lemons. It's provided a lot of inspiration. As you can see above, my desk space/planning zone is super organized, super stocked, and super ready to conquer every day! ...at least, that's what I thought until I joined this group.

Fast forward two days later, and I have three times the Post-It notes that I'll ever need; I've gone from "what is Washi tape?" to "I have 8 rolls of Washi tape." These ladies mean business. And I love it!


I honestly can't recall a time that I wasn't lost without a planner. I have always been the planning type. And considering that I was recently diagnosed with Adult ADHD - it makes sense. I had to plan because my brain wouldn't let me work without it!

The problem with planners is that they're boring. Or, at least, they can be. I let my planner get boring more recently, but when I joined that Facebook group... sparks were flying, colors were covering my pages, and suddenly, I couldn't wait to check off another item on my to-do list!


I'm enjoying this fit of creative planning. The plain old to-do lists were getting old and I was just color-coding out of habit. This is fun. This is what organization is all about!

I can't wait to post more about my daily planning system! I'm still working on getting my posts for this blog planned, but I have some fun ideas that I'm really excited to share. I hope you're excited to hear about them!

What are your plans for the week? I've got lots of homework and planning before UCF plays South Carolina on Saturday and I have a day full of a cappella things on Sunday! I just hope I get some time to breathe :) Have a good one!
