My New Addiction…Yep, I’m a Planner Addict!

Do you have a creative addiction like scrap-booking, planning, knitting, etc? I recently found that my addiction was hiding deep down inside of me and it’s been brought to the surface now. I have started to plan and organize EVERYTHING that I do now. This was not a consistent thing for me in the past. But not only do I plan, I LOVE to do it and I’m having fun decorating my planner pages and shopping for planner goodies. You may be thinking, “What is she talking about?” but I can assure you, this is an amazing thing! Read on to find out more.

I recently came across a group on Facebook called Planner Addicts. I read the description of the group and immediately requested to join. I had a stack of planners next to my desk and thought this group would be the perfect way for me to better utilize them. Before finding this group, I would sometimes use my business planner that was provided by the company but barely used the one that I bought for more detailed planning of my business. The minute that I was accepted into this group, I began to read through the posts and was immediately addicted. I went through posts and pictures and files for hours on end that night. A couple days later I decided to venture out to Staples and buy some items to start my addiction process and create an all in one planner. That trip yielded me a 3-ring binder (8.5 x 11), a Martha Stewart 3-ring binder (5.5 x 8.5) and dividers to insert in both. Below are the two binders that I purchased! I am currently using the smaller Martha Stewart binder as my Spiritual Journal.


 I got home and immediately started working on creating it the way I wanted and began to look for printable sheets that would work best for me. I found some and put together my first D-I-Y planner. This made me utterly excited because I’d now found something creative to do and I’m now passionate about doing it. So some of the ladies encouraged me to go ahead and join the October Photo Challenge which is a challenge to take photos each day of the month with your planner using the items listed for the challenge. I am now classified as a “Planner Addict” and I love that there are so many others that are as well. It’s like a family within Facebook. This is a new hobby for me and I will continue to perfect it daily! Below you will see a collage of my October pictures! Hope you enjoy!
