The Bizzi2Go Planner by Bizzimom Planners Inc. is an awesome planner---really cool flip out designs allows me tons of space for all of my kids (and you can see the whole month at a time).The best part is --it can fit in my purse AND it's not too expensive.

(A Planner for UnPlanners): 1. I didn’t label the tabs with all kind of subjects–I am only labelling them as I actually find need to jot something down–that way it is just what I acutally need and *use* as opposed to some imposed, unecessary division I’ll never use. (So far, I have a tab for: Daily Schedules, Grocery Lists, Items needed for Children) 2. I am writing only a loose skeleton for the day’s outline…no tight schedule for me. And then as the day progresses, I write in (loosely, only what I want to make note of) what I actually *DID*—like **scheduling in reverse**. That is working for me. I can see what worked some days, what didn’t, what may have been a stumbling point and could be tweaked…and I feel a sense of accomplishment instead of discouragement. Seeing what I *did* on a day motivates me for the next day. And if I didn't get to "a bone on my skeleton" for the day, I just add it to the next day. 3. In the children’s squares, somedays I jot in what I’d like to do with each child that day so I remember…or again, I jot in what we actually did together. Nice to have a record of our days. 3. Finally, I am only making up one week layout at a time in the journal… that way, if I choose not to continue (I am on my third week), well…I still have a blank, pretty journal to write in instead of a whole planner of scheduled, useless pages! ~warm smile~ (And one can *always* use a journal!) I am *most* grateful, Melissa, for this series...with some tweaking, I think this is a planner that works unplanners! My gratitude, Ann V.
