January 4, 2018I need to get organized! I like the idea of the Content Calendar – I’m a visual person so I love being able to write things down and commit it to memory. I think that’s why online or digital content calendars never seemed to help me much. But I loved your review and will be checking it out!

January 6, 2018I needed a planner something bad this year. After so many forgotten deadlines and such last year I went back to an EC planner I had used for many years. So glad I did, I feel organized and more prepared!
Jean
January 6, 2018Oh my word, can I just have all of these planners right now please?! I also work full time and blog when I get the chance, and am currently pregnant, so lets just say life is full on at the moment! I try my best to stay organised but it doens’t always work out. I think I should really purchase one of these to get me through the year.

January 6, 2018I kept a day-planner for years, and then gave it up in favor of a digital calendar. I just returned to using a planner again after a decade, and I’m loving it. These are some beautiful options.
