You didn't think the giveaways ended just because the holidays were over did you? I know I've said this a few times, but I'm bound and determined to get SUPER organized this year (if I keep saying it, it will happen, right?).
Now, just because my organization game could use a little love, don't think that I'm not well prepared! I've had a small planner addiction for quite some time and am here to pass that addiction on to you this month (for those of you fellow addicts, consider me your personal enabler!).
We're giving away some of my favorite planners all month long...
Welcome to January's giveaways and the start of Pip Tip Tuesdays! Every Tuesday look for a post with some fun tips and the giveaway of an awesome planner. Follow along all month for a chance to win the January Grand Prize (keep your eyes on social media for the reveal later this month)!
Today's #PipTipTuesday
I'm gonna start with a basic one here, but it's one that I think is super important and if you actually DO IT, you're half way there...and then the fun part comes.
Make time to plan.
Whether you are planning your day-to-day, setting goals, trying to cut down on sugar, planning an event, or just doing your best to make good use of that super cute new planner you bought (lol), setting one time of the week to do it is important.
With everything that I've got going on, this totally won't happen unless it's ingrained in my schedule. So, just like my Saturday afternoon nap (which is set in stone and everyone who knows me KNOWS not to call between 2-4pm!), I set 30 minutes every Sunday night after the kids are down, and plan out my week.
A nice cup of tea, glass of wine, or sparkly beverage definitely helps too (maybe that's it's own tip, haha)!

I created a habit tracker for hours spent doing deep, non-distracted work. I get one sticker for each hour which makes me happy :-)

Just doing it—first thing in the morning! If I start the day off by doing a tiny thing, it helps set up momentum for the rest of the day.

My favorite tip? Color coding! I am the “cruise director” for our family, and I have to keep everyone’s schedule straight… not just mine. I have three colors for myself (blue for work, purple for personal, and red for anything medical) and then a unique color for each member of the family. So I can write “music lesson” in pink and know whose it is. Even my pets have their own color! (Not that it gets used very often, but you never know!

I use washi tape to block out dates if there is something going on for a few days in a row. I try to stick to colour-coding stuff but if I’m honest I don’t always stick to it. I really like the idea of a Sunday night plan for the week after the kids have gone to bed. My main concern is that they will find my sticker stash!

I use stickers, doodles, paper and binder clips, and of course LOTS OF COLOR to keep my journal organized ❤
