Get Ready To Carpe Diem With a Daily Planner

Has it been Monday all week?

A string of days that have you begging for the weekend.

You wake up with a jolt, leap out of bed and into your clothes.

Grabbing keys, phones, and a bag. Racing out of the door, clutching at hope that traffic isn’t as jampacked as a teenager’s backpack on a gap year.

Of course, rush hour traffic is as predictable as a Starbucks latte. And you drive at precisely 30 miles a fortnight. You practice mumbling an apology for lateness. Again.

The one good thing you salvage from this is that you can swipe some gloss on your lips as you inch towards work. You have become that girl who transforms commuting hour into beauty time.

Isn’t it just typical that these type of days happen when you have a to do list as long as your forearm. Calls to return, emails to reply, dinner to cook, a mid-week laundry pile to tackle, a birthday card to write and a presentation to polish. All on this side of midnight.

Want to know a better way to handle days like these?

Enter the daily planner.

It’s cool, it’s calm, it’s collecting all your important jobs of the day.

It becomes your central oasis on crazy days.

The one place that holds the tangled web of your thoughts, your scribbles and your plans for the day.

In the speed of busy days, it’s easy to keep going and realise that at the end of the day you haven’t had more than a couple of sips of water. You probably inhale lunch and come mid-afternoon you search for snacks like a crazed addict.

The best daily planners have some focus on self care.

Water intake, meals, steps, habits, a bit of me time.

As well as a to do list, a schedule and space for the odd note or two.

There’s a free daily planner in the Free Planner Printable Library that has all of this built into it. If you want to be less overwhelmed and more on top of things on crazy busy days, go ahead and get your daily planner. And use it.
