Daysteps Personal Lifestyle Planner


As you well know, organization is a daily goal of mine. I am not a Mom with a Blackberry or with any other gadget on the market, that allows you to store information. I rely on good 'ol pen and paper. Sometimes I owe my sanity to my fridge calendar and the post it's right beside it. And up until recently, this process
has worked beautifully for me.
Problem being...the kids are getting older and I am out of the house a lot more than I used to be. And where is all the information I need? That's right, on the fridge at home!
I realized this problem when I was at a recent dentist appointment. The receptionist would give me a date and time for the next appointment and then ask, "Is this good for you?" I found myself saying to her and others, "I don't know. I'll ask the fridge door when I get home and call you back..."
OK, lesson learned - I need a planner!
I was asked to review the Personal Lifestyle Planner from Daysteps. The first thing that I appreciated about this book, {and I need to tell you this, before anything else}, are these unique features: nutrition, water, sleep, and fitness trackers. There is actually designated space to keep track of medications, vitamins, and workouts too. Plus there is ‘Clear Your Head’ pages; and ‘Fill Your Heart’ sections. As a busy women who has her mind on everyone in the family, I often neglect myself. For this reason, I like that this planner reminds you to make yourself a daily priority.
I like the generous space for all your appointments, activities and important dates {mornings, afternoons and evenings are separated}. And, there is also room to put personal priorities and intentions in reaching life goals. The planner is more than a book of 'to-do', 'to-see', 'to-buy' and 'to-go'. It allows you to take time, clear your head and motivate you in being a better person, in body and mind. I like to refer to this planner as your daily reminder to put yourself in a short time-out and re-group.

Everyone could use some organization for the holidays. And, instead of a wall or fridge calender, consider gifting a planner instead. The Daysteps Personal Lifestyle Planner is compact, handy and includes everything needed to organize anyones chaos!
There are three editions to this planner:
Full Year 2010 {2 books} retails for $34.95;
January-June 2010 is $18.95; and July-December 2010 is $18.95.

One reader is going to get a Jan-June 2010 Personal Lifestyle Planner from Daysteps

I'm the kind of person obsessed with planners and organizing my days and life. So...this planner would be perfect. Especially with the memory problems that I deal with because of MS...I need all the help I can get!

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of life I forget what is "important". Since the planner helps you identify life priorities which are most important to you ~ that would be a big help for me!

It's nice to see a planer with more to offer than just the days and time, I like that it help keep you focused on what your goals are

Barb said...

What I liked most about this planner is that it helps me to identify life priorities most important to me and still remain focused on the journey toward fulfillment: one step at a time, one day at a time.

It supports me in choosing where to put my time and energy. Not only can I keep my appointments straight but it woud help in creating the person I want to be.

I'm one of those people who strives to be more Type A and ultra-organized. Sadly, I am unable to do this without the help of an organizer that essentially tells me what to do and when. On my own, I am sorely lacking any type of organization. This would help me be more like I want to be!

I am quite possible the most unorganized person in the world... so not only would this help with organizing me, the kids, the million and one doctors appointments it seems like it would be capable of organizing me enough in health as well.. in my never ending desire to lose 20 pounds.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 4 kids...so with regular doctor appointments, allergist appointments for 3 of them, dentist, clubs, swimming, school events, meal plans, changing work schedule and the odd adult-only social event it is super important for me to be organized. To have a Daysteps Planner would be awesome...looks like it might be just the thing I'm looking for (I'm always on the hunt for the perfect planner!).

Right now I write everything down on a calendar and it is a mess. Almost as chaotic as not having anything written down. By the description written and review, it appears this more than just a calendar book, its a journal, agenda and calendar all in one. It can help prioritize everythning in my life.

Bombtastic Belle said...

My husband and I are trying for a baby right now, so this would be great if we got pregnant for all the appts.
