The new year is only fourteen days away. Do you realize what this means? 2013 is TWO WEEKS away! This means new resolutions, new promises to ourselves, new habits, new loves, new outlooks, and new hope. I love when a new year rolls around because it is a much needed fresh start; after twelve months of hard work and ups & downs, it feels great to have a new year roll around.
I think the best way to welcome 2013 is with an open and organized mind. First, let me address my
open mind theory: to be open-minded
means to be open and receptive to new ideas. Many people make resolutions, yet do not
change their ways of thinking. I strongly believe that in order to have a successful year, one must be
receptive to other people, other ideas, and other methods of doing things.
No one ever got anywhere by being closed minded!
Since you are now
(hopefully) inspired to having an open mind, let me further inspire you to become more organized. I love planners because I love making lists and visualizing everything that I have to do. After reading
this post on
KimberlyLuxe.com, I decided to become a little more organized in the new year. Kimberly has many great suggestions, including filling up your planner with every single important date you can remember (e.g. birthdays, anniversaries, dates from syllabi for students, etc.) She also has other great suggestions! Make sure to check out the post.
Anyway, this all inspired me to post some stylish planners with which you can start off the new year. Finding a stylish and fashionable planner with an ample amount of writing space is quite difficult.
Hopefully, I have made your search a tad bit easier. Check out my favorite picks here!
