They say you never know how important something is to you until you no longer have it, and I suppose this can apply to literally anything. According to my mother, I have been planning, scheduling and organizing my life and time ever since I knew how to write and before I really even knew how to tell time. After graduation in May, I stopped keeping an agenda for the first time, and tried to manage with the tiny calendar on my phone; of course, I felt something was just not right, and realized only a few months later that what I really want is a planner. I then came across my planners from every year since 2002 all the way to my most recent purchase- a birthday gift from my boyfriend- the 2016 Erin Condren life planner. 

 My obsession with planners is difficult to explain and may seem a little odd, but I can assure you it is the very thing that also sets me free: if everything is planned and organized, I am free to do whatever I please! 2015 has been no doubt a year for the books, but I plan on 2016 being even better. I am so excited to plan and see where I end up by the end of the year. I will be sure to continue keeping you all updated on the highs and lows and all the crazies of the coming year 2016 with Erin Condren.
