Planner Review: Mead Weekly/Monthly Planner

I was trying to come up with post idea when I thought, I just changed to a different planner so why not review the one I was using.

Since earlier this year I was using the Mead Weekly/Monthly Planner that was January to December 2015. That was one of the main reasons I got it because it was only for one year and not 18 months. I purchased it from Wal-Mart in late January and started using it in February.

It comes with 12 tabbed months, areas for each day, a future planning section, note area, four year out look, and a page that is 2015 planning. From coil to edge it is 6 inches wide and 8 1/4 inches long. The material it is made out of is defiantly made to last.

The monthly pages are nice, you get a little column on the second page where you could put monthly to-do's or reminders. I would just have liked for the calendar itself to be a little bigger mainly the boxes so there was more writing room. But other than that (which is me getting a little picky) I like it.

The daily pages is where it gets harder for me. When I got the planner I did not have much to plan so it was nice that the boxes for small. But now I do have more things to plan and found that I was running out of room. I also found that I wanted to try a vertical method of daily pages. I also wished that the weekend spots where bigger mainly for when I have a lot to-do on the weekend.

Overall I do really like the planner, I think it is a great one for if you don't have a lot to plan each day. It would also be great for maybe a college or high school student. The biggest thing that drew me to this planner was that it had a very pretty cover and doesn't look like a traditional planner.

My Planner Essentials

What do I like to use when I am planning out my day or week?

My planner essentials are made up of things that help me keep on track with what I need/have to do each day.  They are:

• Black Paper Mate Ink Joy pen (or any black pen)
• Colored pens (right now I like the Bic Atlantis)
• Stick notes
• Planner stickers (I mainly use these to help me remember ''chores'' that have to be done)
• White out (not pictured) we all know why this is needed! ☺

Happy Planning

Lets get planning!

Welcome to Simply Perfect Planner!

I have never been a huge planner I just could never stick with it, until now (well the last few months ago)! And like most of the planner enthusiasts today I found planner stickers and fell in love with finding cute ones! I have since figured out how to make them on my own so I can have them be what I really want (yes I will share a post later about that!).

Okay enough about my love affair with planners (for now), you are probably wondering what you can see on this blog. And that would be:

• Anything planner related
• DIY stickers
• Maybe some planner reviews? we will see
• And maybe some random posts

I am new at this whole blogging thing so please bear with me and lets figure this out together.

Happy Planning!
