My New Planner

I've been trying to write about my new planner for a while now- but I wanted to use it a lot and kind of talk about why I like it. You don't really need this planner specifically- but for me who spends a lot of time at work... I need a small planner to take with me everywhere.

My boyfriend actually got this for me at Kinokuniya in New York when we saw Beetlejuice. The brand is called Nolty- this planner specifically is called Pagem. I can't find the Pagem planner's on amazon- but they do have Nolty planners- which I think are similar sized. No idea how much this one was because my boyfriend got it for me... but it was purple, it was small... I loved it right away.

So while this notebook is small, its very nicely divided so that you can tell which month is which, it also has a monthly layout as well as weekly layouts with enough space to write down everything you need to write down. There's a little spot for things that say "Memo" in which I'll write notes like my weekly favorites, or the fact that I owe my coworker money for girlscout cookies- stuff like that. At the end of each month there's space to write down things- so I'll write important dates to remember. Anything fun that happened during the month- anything important to know the date of- like if my boyfriend replaces his car battery or something like that. I can write down birthday parties, appointments, reminders... there's a lot of places to write a lot of things.

So I'll show you an example of what some of these things look like... and just know- I used blank pages and made stuff up to plan so that you guys don't actually know my work schedule or what I do on a daily basis. Scuse the foil I was on my lunch break!

It's a soft notebook with 2 ribbons. The ribbons can make it hard to zip up in a purse unfortunately- but that's okay- you can always cut the ribbon if you need to... not a big deal... but I like having them there. They probably had different colors- but I liked the purple because it matches my phone.

I like the monthly layout I like writing down my schedule there for work and any appointments. There's a little note space to write things down too... I write down movies I want to see for the month and any other important things. I like that there's a little spot in the binding that can hold a pen or pencil. It also comes with a map of Japan's transit line I think- which is not super useful to me- but it does have an address book which I do like because I like having people's phone numbers on hand just in case of emergencies.

And I think that's everything... I hope you guys like this!

Bye!
