Original caption

When I was in school a written planner was my lifeline to keep track of when assignments and tests were happening. As an adult I struggle to find a written system that sustainably works for me. Digital planners are easiest for an ever-changing work calendar, but I do hold onto the idea that a written calendar can fit into my life. Maybe I’ll try a bigger one? The small ones seem to go unnoticed after awhile. #shopwithme #journaling #stationary #planner
