Welcome to the first post in the Createyou86 March Planner Awareness Blog Series.  I started this series two years ago, and i loved the title, and concept so much that i have decided to bring it back every March for now on.  You can check out the first posts here . This is your official welcome to Planner Awareness Month, and this series will include plenty of tips, and tricks to help you as a veteran planner or a new planner to become more aware of your planning tendencies, and to keep you moving forward in your planning journey.   Keep reading to find out about my oldest planner, and my newest planner.

If you have been following me for a while you probably know that i am a die hard Filofax user.  I love the quality, price point, and diversity of Filofax.  The oldest Filofax that i own is a red personal Domino Filofax, and the newest planner i own is the Recollections Creative Year Black Patent A5 ringed planner.
The personal domino started out as my main planner, and has since been changed to my holiday planner.  I love the style of the Domino, and i used it for well over a year, as i started exploring planners.  It is a great starter planner, and i would recommend it to anyone who is looking to start planning, and is looking for an affordable option.
The Creative Year Black Patent A5 ringed planner is being used as a business planning, and business project planning filo.  It was $30.00 at Michael's which of course i used a coupon on, and got it for $15.00.  This planner is great!  It is large, holds a ton of paper, and is a perfect price point for a beginner planner as well.
I really appreciate what each of these planners does for me, and how they have helped me grow as a planner.  When i first found planners on Instagram almost 3 years ago i saw Filofax, and fell in love.  Planners keep me in line, and they keep me organized.  They keep me entertained, and are a hobby that i can see myself partaking in for years to come.  I also have enough planner supplies to fill a warehouse at this point, and i finally gave in, and purchased a paper cutter last weekend at Hobby Lobby.

Let me know in the comments below WHY DO YOU APPRECIATE YOUR OLDEST, AND NEWEST PLANNERS?

I'm such a sucker for planners, although the only one I've come across that you mentioned here is the Filofax. I think that might have something to do with the fact that I'm from England, and you're evidently not, but I'm so tempted to go and find out whether they sell some of what you mentioned on an online outlet somewhere! I love your comment about owning enough planner supplies to fill a warehouse; that's something I can definitely relate to!

Rebekah,
Thanks for stopping by. I am a sucker for planners too. Try Michaels.com for Recollections products. I am not sure if they ship overseas or not. I am glad that I am not alone in planner supply craziness, and I am so happy that you could relate to this post!

I'd love to see a picture of your planners. I put everything on my phone, but I do LOVE the look of planners.

I love my planners because they help keep me organized! My favorite way to use them is by planning the next day the night before:)

Planners don't work for me. I prefer to have a tiny notebook where I put all my to do list items and cross them off.

Jojo,
Thanks for stopping by. This is a type of planner, it is called a bullet journal. It is awesome that you have found a system that works for you!

I love planners, they are such a lifesafer! I dump everything in it before I go to sleep and stop thinking about anything till the next day when I look at it again to see what I need to do that day. I have a very simple and cheap planner though, but this is my first bulletjournal so maybe someday I will go for quality.

Planners make my life soooo much easier. 😆 I've never tried the Filofax planners before, so I'll have to give it a try!

I always use planners both for work and personal. I tend to always buy the same ones! Would love to try a Filofax, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for stopping by. Which planners do you normally buy? Filofax are a great brand, and they are diverse for different needs, and sizes.

Planners are my life. Plain and simple. I have yet to find a planner that I have fell in love with, so I'm just sticking to my 3 calendars for now. Being organized is so important to me, so thank you for all the suggestions of planners in your post! I will definitely check them out.

I've never heard of Filofax planners! I'll have to looks them up and see if I like them! I LOVE Day Designer planners!

Caitlin,
Thanks for stopping by. They are ringed binders not spiral bound like the day designer. I am glad that I could introduce them to you!
