I am kind of obsessed with organization. I love making order out of the chaos, and I save so much time because of it. I like to stay on top of things to make sure I know which way is up. Opening a drawer or a cabinet and seeing labels and order just makes me feel good. I always have my schedule organized and pegged down to the last minute.

But with all that organization, it’s so easy for me to get bogged down in projects and work that I forget the things that I actually want to get out of life.

The important stuff. Things like spending time with my family and friends, remembering to be grateful for what I have, and reminding myself of things that I’m proud of. These are all the things that make me a happier person.

Well I wanted to do something to keep me focused on living intentionally without sacrificing organization. So that’s why I designed my series of life planners!

I wanted a solution that marries my two goals:

Living intentionally and focusing on what matters to me
And staying organized and keeping track of my busy schedule.

With these planners I can be organized and project-oriented while still remembering to live intentionally and focus on what actually makes me happy and fulfilled. Keep reading to find out all the awesome ways these planners help you live intentionally.

The 2017 version of my planners are now available in my etsy shop! I’ve made some improvements to my August-August planners, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

There are six different types of planners available:

And I am excited to tell you about them! The Pick Your Pages Planner is totally new this year, so make sure to keep reading to find out how they work.

intentional life planners

The Intentional Life Planners help you to reflect and reevaluate on a regular basis. If you follow along with the life planners, not only will you keep track of your schedule, you will also stay on top of your goals and remember what is important.

All four of the Intentional Life Planners start out with an overview of the year, with space to write in your own holidays and important dates to remember.

They each give you some time to reflect over 2016 and set your overall goals for 2017.

With the month at a glance page you can highlight the most important things coming up in the month ahead, including keeping track of bills, or assignment due dates in the student version.

The weekly planners come in a two page weekly spread with a dedicated to-do list for each day.

The monthly planners come in a two page monthly spread with lots of extra space for notes and lists you might want to add.

And each month there are check-ins to remind you of your goals, accomplishments, favorite moments, things to work on, and more. Organization and mindfulness were both equally important for me in creating this planner.

And what’s really cool about all my planner designs is that they come as an interactive PDF. That means that you can easily add text on a computer before printing out your digital planner files.

This all comes in a bright happy layout that will make you excited about staying organized.

Organization comes easily to me, but I sometimes have to work at living intentionally. I’ve been using my planner for the past several months and it really has made a difference in my life. Once I got used to using the end and beginning of months to reflect, evaluate, and refocus, it became a habit for me.

And it also reminds me of all the great things that have happened! Looking back through my month in review pages and my goal check in pages shows me how far I’ve come. It reminds me that all my hard work is paying off.

Who wouldn’t love that?

pick your pages

The Pick Your Pages Planner is completely new this year!

I know that not everyone may want the pre-planned package. You may want the goal setting sheet, but not care about the month at a glance page, or vice versa. Or maybe you want even more awesome pages in your planner, like a daily agenda, a detailed daily to-do list, or a meal planning PDF.

Well that’s why I made Pick Your Pages. Each different page is offered a la carte, and you can combine them to make your ultimate dream planner.

The Pick Your Pages Planner allows you to choose from over 20 different planner page designs to customize your dream planner. This a la carte approach allows you to get exactly what you want out of your planner and avoid paying extra for planner features that you don’t want.

There are so many options to choose from:

So you can mix and match to your heart’s content!

And the great part is that I will continue to add more Pick Your Pages designs as I get more feedback and come up with new ideas.

And I’ve got something awesome for you…

If you buy a 2017 planner before December 9th, I will also make you a custom cover page!

It’s hard to keep everything straight in life- from budgets, to goals, to keeping track of appointments, it’s easy to get lost in the madness. I’m a big fan of organization, but with so much going on, I even get things mixed up and get lost in the shuffle. I often feel like I’m so busy keeping busy that I forget to focus on what really matters.

Recently I was talking to someone about how much time I spend blogging. It took talking to another person for me to realize how much time I’m spending sitting in front of a computer (let’s just say- too much!). It took that for me to step outside myself. And I realized that I wasn’t spending enough time with friends and family, so I wanted to refocus. That’s why I designed my Ultimate Life Planner!

The life planner will help you live a more intentional life. It gives you the resources to not only stay organized, but also purposeful and driven. It also helps you to reflect and reevaluate on a regular basis. If you follow along with the life planner, not only will you keep track of basic tasks to become more efficient, you will also stay on top of the big picture things you want to achieve in life. It has resources for goal setting, reflection, staying on top of your bills, and more.

I’m super excited about this awesome Life Planner, and I’m even more excited about my new etsy shop, ThePinStudio! Designing a planner that fit my lifestyle was one of the reasons that I wanted to open my new shop. I started designing this planner because I wanted to live with intention- setting goals for myself and keeping myself on track.

While doing research to make my planner, I realized that most planners you can buy online are only for printing. I wanted a planner that I could edit on a computer, because I have terrible handwriting. So I made this life planner an editable pdf. That means the planner allows you to not only print and write, but also type everything in! It works well for those who don’t want to print their planner, or those who do and have bad handwriting.

All right- let’s take a deeper look into the planner! I’m going to walk you through some of the highlights and show you why it really is a LIFE planner, and not just an appointment book.

I made a video to show you the details on the planner, and you can also read the rest of the post to find out more.

Let’s take a look inside the Life Planner!

Year at a glance

The planner starts out with the big picture things you’ll want to reference. It shows the entire years calendar, holidays, and has space for you to write in important dates. Because of the editable pdf feature, you can type in the important dates on a computer instead of writing them if you prefer.

Month in Review

The weekly Life Planner comes with a month in review section. At the end of every month, before you move on, it has resources for you to reflect.

Writing in your favorite moments will help you remember them in the future. Writing down what you are grateful for is such a great exercise to do on a regular basis.

You can also keep track of what bills you paid on what date, and review the things you want to do more and less of.

Month at a Glance

Each month begins with the Month at a Glance. You can write in important appointments to reference, keep track of due dates for bills, and write your top 3 things. You also have a section to keep track of your savings and remind you not to forget about them.

The top three is my favorite because it’s so versatile. You can write in your top 3 goals, or the top 3 to do list items, or the top three appointments. I also love the notes section.

It’s so great to have these important reminders and events on one page that you can easily reference.

Student Version

The planner also comes in a student version, which has only two differences. Instead of bills, it has space to keep track of assignments and grades. I definitely should have done this when I was in school- it would have kept me on top of when my big assignments were due and organize accordingly.

Monthly Goal Setting and Check In

Each month allows you to set or check in on 10 different goals. Having this at the beginning of each month reminds you to stay on task, and also makes you review them.

Setting goals is great, but you have to stay on top of them. So that’s why they are at the beginning of each month. It also allows you to reevaluate them if you’ve already accomplished your goals or want to change them.

Weekly calendar

The weekly calendar is where you can organize your schedule. It has tons of space for writing in appointments, reminders, and whatever else you might want. Each day also has its own to do list. I’m kind of addicted to to do lists, so I knew I wanted one for every day individually.

There’s space for notes, and there’s also space to write reminders for next week. This planner always keeps you looking ahead with you eyes on the goals!

The life planner will enable and inspire you to live a more intentional life. It helps you not only stay organized and on top of your schedule, but also to keep your eye on your goals. If you’re ready to live a more purposeful and intentional life, this planner is for you.

Live intentionally, authentically, and strategically with ThePinStudio life planner!
