A Planner with Choices

Thoughtful Design Leads to Custom Planner

It’s that time of year when we begin to consider our goals for the new year, we rethink the way we did things in the past, weeding out what did not work and looking for ways to improve our methods for another year. I’m not usually someone who uses a life planner, but I know many of you are and that’s why I wanted to share this with you. That being said, I do use a planner for blogging along with an editorial calendar which is why I was excited to be able to review this one, because it has everything you could ever want in a planner.

Choices. That is what Kathy offers with her new 2014 Cornerstone Confessions Everything Planner. As an affiliate marketer for Kathy, she gave me a peak at her planner by providing me with a free copy so that I could share with you the bounty of options that are available to you. 



Right away you can see that Kathy was very thoughtful in her design. One of the first things you will notice is the entire planner is designed in gray-scale. This was a purposeful decision on Kathy’s part because she knows that printing in gray-scale will save you money. Yet she has made the design pretty and playful with polka-dots, hearts and a pretty little bird to keep you company while you are planning out your day. I’m using colored pens throughout to add a little pop of color as I plan.

User Tip:

I tend to find myself doodling when being thoughtful during planning times. I found myself filling in those cute little polka dots, so I grabbed some colored pencils to have nearby and filled those in while doodling. This means you can be creative while planning. Also, using color-coded page dividers and adhesive tabs will truly allow you to have a customized planner. 



The Everything Bundle downloadable e-File has over 200 planning pages, with printable pages for homemaking, homeschooling and blogging. Kathy thought of everything you could need. By providing you with so many options you can truly customize a planner to meet your own personal needs.

Maybe though, you are not a blogger and are thinking, ‘well I would never use such a planner.’ That’s o.k., because you don’t have to print that section. You only print the items that you need and will use. But even better than that, Kathy has broken up the Everything Bundle into smaller bundles so you only have to purchase what you will need.
