Confessions of a planner junkie

Okay, I have a confession.  I am obsessed with planners (notebooks too, but this post is hitting on my planner obsession). When it comes to planners, I always have a hard time finding one that fits me.  So I said to myself "You're crafty enough to make your perfect planner, girl." And I was like "I am, huh!" So I went to my local office depot (omg I can spend hours in a office supply store-I know, weird right?), went down a few isles to get some inspiration and found mini binders and accessories.  Okay, another obsession of mine-anything mini. There is something about mini items that make it 10 times cuter because it is mini!! Back to planners..So I grabbed a binder and some accessories and spend under 15 bucks (which is totally economical when purchasing a planner.)  So I went home and got to work. I am pretty good when it comes to power point, so I put together a quick template and started printing. I now have perfect collaboration of a business and personal planner.  What I love most about my planner, since I created my own templates, I never need to run out and buy a refill.  Also, if something isn't working for me, I can open up my laptop, tweak my template and print. It is perfect! Am I the only one with a planner (and notebook) obsession?  Need help creating your own planner?  Pinterest has A LOT of ideas for inspiration and templates. Some templates are even free!! Who doesn't love free?!  I am going to share a few photos of my planner (due to privacy, I will show you blank pages and cover any prices on my business pages) so you can get an idea of what I have done. Enjoy!
