Hello again,
I seem to be uploading alot today, I mean 3 posts in a day? I'm on a roll! But what can you say. These school holidays always get to me. They're either really boring or really fun. Right now I have nothing to do so lets get on with it!
I currently have the ever so popular Lily Pulitzer 2012-2013 pocket sized agenda, and I'm going to share with you how I organize it, and some tips on how to use it :)
If you have a small agenda like me, sticky notes are essential! Run out of space? easy! All you have to do is stick them on top of the date (obviously, Sabrina). Although you really need to be careful about the size you buy, some may too big, and some may be too small for your agenda.
I really only use one tab, and that's to show what week it is because it's just so much easier to be able to flip to the right page on the first go rather then to just search page by page.
- Use different colours when it comes to pens, not just one
If you like to save space like me and not write each thing to do on a separate line, using different coloured pens come in handy. Not only does it look better, but it also helps you distinguish each task easily. Did you know, you are more likely to remember something when you write it down in colour, instead of using the plain basic red, black and blue. If you want to be even more organized, you could colour code! For example, from order to most to least important you could have a light colour for the least, and a stronger colour as it gets more important.
Have a special day planned? Add a sticker to the date! Thats what the sticker page is for, isnt it? If you dont have any in your agenda, you can purchase them at the dollar store. Want to be more fancy? Buy them off the Lily Pulitzer site!
Does your agenda have a folder and your not sure what you should do with it? The answer is simple: MORE STICKYS! You can peel off multiple stickys off the pads at once and stick them onto the folders. Simple! and extremely efficient because you dont have to carry around sticky note pads everywhere with you.
If you live in Australia like me, school starts in January and ends in December, but this Agenda starts at August and ends the next year in December. So you're thinking, should I glue in my school timetable? Well the answer is no. Solution: Paper clips! This way, you won't have to pull it off and leave a mark on your agenda.
- Are your side tabs getting ruined?
If you own the same agenda as me, or have one similar, then you will probably face this problem. The side tabs are always getting creased and bent! But never fear, sticky tape is here! Just stick them onto the sides of the pages. Easy.
- What do I do with 2 calendar overviews?
Two calendar overviews are annoying for some people, but for others, its better. I use the front overview for social events, work, birthdays, etc. And the one that comes with the weekly overviews for school work like homework, due dates and assignments. If you don't go to school, then you can do things such as work, etc.
Hmm, I think that all sums it up! I'll so be posting maybe some binder templates I'm making? Or some DIY. I hope this post has helped you! As always,take care. Oh and I hope you enjoyed my messy handwriting.

Hello readers!
As some of you may know, I said I would be writing about my Agenda, so here it is!
I have the 2013 Lily Pulitzer pocket sized agenda (also comes in large, and jumbo) in the design 'Skip On It' and it is AH-MA-ZING! Literally. Every single page has at least one illustration on it and they are all so vibrant- That's probably why I'm in love with it!
Did you know, to get organized, you need to be motivated: And who wouldn't be motivated by a pretty agenda? I know I would.
This agenda starts on August 2012- December 2013
And has basically everything you need in it!
Stickers: SORTED (I mean, who doesn't like stickers?)
It also comes with; A separate months section where you can view the months over two pages, Dates to celebrate tab, Holidays and phone book, Notes, and then all the months (a weekly planner section). - Those are all the tabs.
Since I live in Australia, the Lily Pulitzer site is not able to ship here, so I ordered off Elle and Blair's Glitzy Glam online store (shopglitzyglam.com). It was about $16 AUD not including $10 AUD postage, but I got the back to school discount, which made the total $24.
It took about 2 weeks to arrive, but it is definately worth the wait!
Check out the pics :)
I DEFINATELY reccomend you guys to buy it!
Until next time,
