I much prefer paper over using my phone or other electronics to keep track of my schedule. Writing things down, mapping out my week ahead of time, mentally preparing for what&#8217;s ahead is easier for me when I can do it on paper. Over the years, my paper planner has become a media journal, bill tracker, and list making tool that&#8217;s been beneficial for helping to organize my life. With a new year ahead of me, I thought I&#8217;d share some things to include in a paper planner that I&#8217;ve used with success.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>weight loss tracking<\/li>\n<li>password keeping<\/li>\n<li>yearly\/monthly\/weekly goals<\/li>\n<li>order tracking (track those online purchases for delivery)<\/li>\n<li>menu planning<\/li>\n<li>fitness tracking<\/li>\n<li>daily water intake<\/li>\n<li>monthly bills<\/li>\n<li>savings tracking<\/li>\n<li>debt tracking<\/li>\n<li>birthdays\/anniversaries<\/li>\n<li>date night ideas<\/li>\n<li>gift ideas (I can never think of something on the spot when asked)<\/li>\n<li>inspirational quotes<\/li>\n<li>scriptures<\/li>\n<li>books to read<\/li>\n<li>movies to watch<\/li>\n<li>places to visit<\/li>\n<li>penmanship practice<\/li>\n<li>grocery lists<\/li>\n<li>school schedules (track those days off and half days)<\/li>\n<li>housekeeping schedule<\/li>\n<li>weather tracking<\/li>\n<li>favorite recipes<\/li>\n<li>spending log<\/li>\n<li>no-spend challenge tracking<\/li>\n<li>52 week savings plan tracking<\/li>\n<li>chore chart tracking for kids<\/li>\n<li>vehicle maintenance tracking<\/li>\n<li>christmas present lists<\/li>\n<li>christmas budgeting<\/li>\n<li>vacation planning<\/li>\n<li>important or frequently used contacts\/addresses<\/li>\n<li>block scheduling<\/li>\n<li>bullet journaling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Paper planners have plenty to offer in addition to simply keeping track of schedules and meetings. For me, dumping out all the noise in my brain onto paper, where I can map things out and visually see what needs to be done, even helps to ease anxiety. My planner is a helpful tool that organizes my entire life and keeps me on track. It&#8217;s become quite a fun hobby that doubles as a way to coordinate events and family schedules.<\/p>\n<h3>For more planner addict fun be sure to <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/bwYrzn\">subscribe to the Our Holly Days newsletter<\/a> where you&#8217;ll get access to giveaways, exclusive content, and more.<\/h3>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2017\/01\/things-to-include-in-a-paper-planner\/\">35 Things to Include in a Paper Planner<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/\">Our Holly Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2017\/01\/things-to-include-in-a-paper-planner\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"35 Things to Include in a Paper Planner\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Holly Sosa Paper planners are kind of my thing.
