A while back long time ago, a reader asked how I set up my project binders. (You can check out some of my project binders here .) It has taken me this long to write this post because I haven’t set up a project-specific binder in a while. I have lots of ideas for special binders, but the reality of actually creating them, well, that’s a different story—I don’t seem to have as much time to do that these days. (Oh, how I remember the days when I worked on nothing but setting up binders and section tabs and reorganizing my system … Sometimes I miss those little projects, but being happy with my system is more important and allows me to devote my time to so many other things.) Project binders—at least most—are one of those things that I have let go of, for the time being. However! I recently had the opportunity and need to set up another specific project binder. So I took some pictures during the process, and here I will explain tha...

Gillio Envy

By WellPlannedLife October 27, 2013

There has been much talk about Gillio Firenze planners lately. Many people have purchased them and written blogs posts about them; they have been featured in Philofaxy posts ; there’s a dedicated Facebook group for them. Their planners are beautiful, but they have a price tag to match (though well worth every penny, from what I’m hearing). It’s like an exclusive club, the way people are talking about them—I’m not all too familiar with the company or the planner names; I don’t have a new bag to compare my new Gillio planner to; I don’t own a binder whose leather is so soft and supple, like butter. I’m jealous. There, I said it. Sigh. Yes, I’m jealous. All of the buzz I’m hearing—the excitement over a new planner, and not just a new planner, but a gorgeous one at that, one that compares to nothing like I’ve ever seen before. Or so I’m hearing. I’ve perused the website. I like what I see. I especially like that there’s...

Planner Lists

By WellPlannedLife May 18, 2015

It’s been a little over a month since my last post. Cappuccino has been busy keeping my crazy weekends organized and well planned. (I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this binder. It was worth every penny, and I have no desire to move out of it any time soon.) Since first writing about my new Van der Spek binder, I have been to Philadelphia and New York City, done volunteer work (twice), worked a couple of weekends, gone to a Mother’s Day brunch, and gone back to Philadelphia. Now she’s helping me to relax during my vacation at home. This is a list of things to I’d like to accomplish while I’m off this week. But it’s a loose list, meaning if I don’t get to cross these items off my list, it’s okay—this is just what I would like to get done. I started this list a few weeks ago. Since my weekends have been so busy, there have been a lot of things that I didn’t get to (blogging is one of those things). So I crea...
