Today, as I look down at my daily planner (a simple notebook) I notice some small attached post-its along with a page filled with inspirational quotes, that I refer to frequently, to keep me on the right path.
I've tried all sorts of planners over the years and have found that I function best with pen and paper, and in being able to see what I need to do at-a-glance.
I've also found that I love to be reminded of favorite scriptural passages as I go about my day. They keep me in remembrance of what matters most and how I should best spend my time.
I also like the fact that I can be flexible with my day. If I have written down the things I need to do, with dots by the ones needing to be done today, then, I can work towards those with the Spirit as my guide. And, oftimes, some things don't get done, but others' do.
Anyway, here's my planner, sectioned off, with a few pages of important information in the front, followed by favorite quotes, daily tasks, budget, and gifts ideas (on the very last page.) Over the years I've simplified a lot and this is what works best for me.
Here are a few of the quotes that I often refer to. Hope you enjoy:
