Welp, now it’s 2010. We’re in “the twenties” as those people like to call it, and it’s all sorts of awesome.

The beginning of 2010 marks a strange anniversary for me. 2009 was the first year ever I used a planner.

Ever.

I am generally organized, but in a vague sort of way. I know where things are located in the piles of things in my room, and I organize once every six months and then promptly abandon all organizing plans as my life turns to chaos once again. I never used a planner for high school (even though it was “mandatory”), didn’t use one for the first three years of college (even though I probably should have), and certainly never ever really felt like using one.

But times change, I discovered Kath Kidston, and I got a job where the schedule changes every week.

My planner for 2009 is worn, and kind of falling apart. It is filled with memories, like this:

January 16th, 2009: Basket full of kitties.

May 20th, 2009: Blending in with couches.

September 24th, 2009: tried on a furry hat.

One of my final entries:

December 29, 2009. Sneak attack Snow!

I am all ready for my new 2010 calendar. I’ve even done SUPER organized things like written down my measurements in the back, and made a little colour chart of the prismacolour markers that I own so I don’t buy repeats. This organized thing is really awesome, and I’d like to pass it on.

The best part about using a planner is picking one out. Here are a few to peruse:

a. City Planner. $22.
b. 2010 Weekly Planner. $25.
c. Bird art calendar. $16.
d. 2010 Mini Plaid Planner. $8.

I bet you can get organized this year! Don’t you think you can?
