I cut my planner out of my life...cold turkey.

It is hard to believe I'm actually saying this...I have parted ways with my planner. Yes friends, I am currently out of the house without my planner. I do have my work planner still. Yes, I use two planners. Getting rid of one is progress...
 
It  was necessary. Pages were falling out. Both covers were gone. Papers were everywhere. It was a mess and stressing me out instead of helping me organize my life. I could not find a planner I liked at Target, so I had to find other options.
 
What am I doing to manage my life without the planner? I bought a to-do list app and updated my Google calendar. The app is called Clear List and I can now color code my list and check off items as I complete them. Its fabulous! I keep daily to-do lists, so my app has lists into June already. I know, I'm crazy! I like my life to be organized. Sometimes it doesn't work tho, so hopefully this will now that it is literally in the palm of hand.
 
Giving up my planner is refreshing and I feel a little less stressed yet its weird too. I have never been without a planner since high school. Its my life. This is kind of like giving up smoking for me.
 
Well, I can now say that I've finally embraced the technology my phone has to offer. We will see how long I last...here goes nothing.
