Cute day planners 2012
I can't do without a planner, can you? But I also want it to look good in my purse. In short, I want a cute planner, preferably with a weekly format. Here's the best this year.
Academic year or Calendar year?
When buying an agenda book, you really need to take a look at the time of year first.
Seriously, because there are, these days, very cute planners available for both the calendar year and the academic year (that's summer to summer).
Student planners, like U Chic, are of course academic day planners: The start July or August and end July or August of the following year. Some give you a few bonus months in the second year or even last all through December.
Moleskine 18 month planners do that: they start in summer, but last all through the next calendar year.
Then there are the mom planners. They are also usually 18 month planners, starting in summer, but they have extra planning room so you can keep track of not just your own schedule, but that of the whole family: husband, partner and kids.
When buying a planner in summer, I would really recommend you go with an academic date book.
However, if you're set for the current calendar year and want to get ready for the next one, you should of course pick a day planner that covers the calendar year.
Peter Pauper Press comes out with a beautiful line of planners for that purpose. I can't decide which I like best - the pink blossoms, the Asian Peonies or Paris (Bon Vivant). Can you?
Of course, these cute agenda books make a great gift as well.

Cute daily planners, and girly weekly organizersDated or undated? A planning annoyance!
When I first started making pages about calendars and planners online, I was stunned to find that some of the best selling date books were actually undated.
UNDATED. I mean really, what were people thinking? How can you plan your life with an undated planner? I sure can't. I'm sure no well organized person would even consider using an undated calendar, so why are they selling?
My guess? It's because not so well organised people, buying a planner in March or something, don't want to have those empty pages just sitting there. Me, I think they should have just bought it earlier. But that's just me.
The thing is: especially if you're not that organised, you really need the help a planner can give in being reminded of the day of the week, the date, the number of the week, and holidays. I mean seriously. Are you really going to fill in the days of the weeks yourself? I should hope not!
Yet that's what apparently a lot of people (think they) do.
My advise to you all: be smart, buy a DATED planner this year. Even if you buy it in some odd month like April or November.
