I'll check it out for my 2017 planner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2476898 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 10:03:44 +0000 Mrs D 2476898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I hsbent used am EC but I went with plum paper bc of the customizable sections...the EC didn't seem to exactly line up with my needs. Also it was about $10-15 cheaper...which left me space for my stickers while staying in budget... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2476896 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 10:01:54 +0000 Mrs D 2476896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: I really really love it. I spent about $15 in stickers to make it more playful(split w a friend). It really helps me stay organized while disconnecting from my phone (where work always seems to creep in). Plus it's so helpful for organizing my to do tasks!</p> <p>I loooooove the meal planning section. I'm going to really get in to it while on leave when I have a little more time to spend.</p> <p>The fitness section has not been used much (I was 8 mos preggo when I got the planner) but I really think it will be huge for tracking and accountability once I am working out again!</p> <p>I highly recommend!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2476893 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 09:51:16 +0000 wrkbrk 2476893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do people like these better than EC? Funny story - my L&amp;D nurses saw my EC planner in my hospital bag and wouldn't stop talking about how I could now be part of their secret club since I had one ;) DW was like ... Huh?? Would switch to PP next year though if they're better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2476846 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 07:46:49 +0000 Eko 2476846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: I just ordered one and love it!! I think the thing I wasn't expecting, which is fine for me, is how thick and heavy it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2476822 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 03:08:38 +0000 Kimberlybee 2476822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: How are you liking your planner so far? I feel like I use my iPhone way too much already and want a break from it. I want to go back to a traditional paper planner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2423105 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 09:11:40 +0000 Mrs D 2423105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys!!!!! I am so so so into this planner after spending an hour or so with it last night after K went to bed!</p> <p>No more post it madness for me...no more building to-do lists for each weekend or weekend day...I am really really loving the ability to plot out my life in advance and always know what my next step should be!</p> <p>I am working on how I am going to best utilize some of the sections but I really really love all the spaces for check lists/to-dos... (monthly, weekly and daily) - this is killer for any mom who finds 30 mins here and there and needs to quickly know what she should/could do with those 30 mins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2421636 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 11:05:13 +0000 snowjewelz 2421636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh the organizer in me is totally swooning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2421617 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 10:59:37 +0000 Mrs D 2421617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: I just jumped in...limited myself to $20...and followed the budget...majorly proud moment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2421609 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 10:55:44 +0000 artsyfartsy 2421609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @Mrs D: Careful.

I went two full weeks overdue with my son. I have patience of steel.

She's the go-to for planner stickers. She's only been open for less than a year too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2421496 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 10:12:36 +0000 ValentineMommy 2421496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: I totally just spent $30 on stickers @ Libbie and Co lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2421453 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 09:53:17 +0000 Mrs D 2421453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: completely agree...me and two friends all bought Plum planners together and I found it so intriguing that we each got different weekly layouts...but it really does lend itself to the different ways each person likes to lay out there day/time/tasks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2421451 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 09:51:31 +0000 avivoca 2421451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another thing I really like about mine is that even if you get a ready to ship planner like I did, you can still choose your weekly page layout! I got Option 4 with space for notes on the left side and the days on the right side. I hate it when planners have the times already printed on them and last year I discovered that I hate having the days in a vertical column because there just isn't enough space to write! I'm not a huge sticker person so I can't comment on those, but it's easy for me to separate things with different highlighters (my preferred method of keeping my work/personal appointments separate). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2421443 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 09:46:13 +0000 Mrs D 2421443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NavyRN2012: sorry...but really not sorry! :)</p> <p>@Dr. Pepper: it was the longest 8 days of my life waiting for it to arrive after shipping!</p> <p>@ValentineMommy: The add-ons are what put Plum above EC for me...I liked the customizability! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-got-my-plum-paper-planner-today#post-2421422 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 09:35:11 +0000 ValentineMommy 2421422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gorgeous!!!

I just looked back, I ordered on the 6th....so maybe next week-ish!!<br /> I ordered the stickers too, just to see what they were like. They look plain though, from the picture.
