Get myself a planner and use it daily

Now it isn’t so chaotic at work and I can get in the habit of using my planner at work. Anything I do that pertains to my training, I take notes on. I write down my schedules. I’m doing pretty good with it.

but I’ve been bad about using it lately. That changes NOW!

Makes a difference I tell ya! For the last couple days, I write down what needs to be done, what SHOULD be done…etc, etc. I feel more organized than eva!!!

...then I’ll be using my planner everyday.

My manager bailed on me, but I went to Staples and got a Franklin Covey planner. I got many glowing recommendations on Franklin Covey’s organizational system, and the planner has lots of storage space, so I’ll be able to keep everything I want to in it. I’m going to start using it in September.

I’m going to go to Staples with my current manager to pick our a planner and hopefully get the company discount on it.

...and I’m resuming school. I want to get a good, professional planner to keep track of everything. I know from observing my managers that having a good planner and using it thoroughly is very useful when managing at Starbucks. Plus, I’ll be starting classes towards my degree again, so I want to make sure that I don’t miss anything. I also want to use it to help keep my finances under control, pay off debt and keep track of when things are due. The last semester that I took classes I completely forgot that we had to write a paper for one of my classes. The week before it was due I rediscovered that we had to do one. I want to avoid that.

What’s up with all the ugly planners out there? Looks like I’m gonna have to take matters into my own hands, and decorate my own. I went yesterday “just browsing” for one..and they were all black/brown/boring…I’m a WOMAN…I want to see red, pink , give me leopard print, anything but plain and boring black! I think this could turn into something fun. (:

If I see it in writing and in my face EVERYDAY, I am more likely to do it. I am a procrastinator and I hate it!
