Favorite things giveaway: Erin Condren

December 4, 2014 |

I’m so excited about today’s giveaway, because it’s something that I use on a daily basis and feel hopeless without it: my Erin Condren planner. 

Erin condren 1 of 1

I had heard a lot of hubbub about these planners, and being a “paper over technology” kind of girl (when it comes to planning, at least), I figured I’d give it a try. My random notebook method was working ok for me, until I lost whatever notebook I was working on. 😉 This planner changed my life. It’s so much easier to navigate the grand scheme of things and organize my days, which are often broken down into multiple segments. I ordered mine a couple of months into 2014, and already have my 2015 one designed and ready!

Here’s what a less crazy week looked like (Thanksgiving week!).

Some special features of these planners:

-You can personalize them. You add your name, pick your pattern, add a photo if you’d like, and can design it to make it truly yours.

-Monthly and daily schedules. I like to write big events on the monthly calendars, and during the week, I’ll plan out each day according to teaching, events, deadlines, etc.

-Stickers! I wasn’t quite sure how often I’d use these, but they have been awesome. You can write on the stickers to make certain events stand out, and even create personalized ones. I made some that say “deadline,” “out of town,” “Tom gone,” and “Liv event.” They include blank stickers and some generic ones with the planner. (Doc appointment, hair appointment, etc.)

-Folders: I can easily store receipts or important swatches of paper. There is also a sealed pouch with fun bonus stationary. I have some notecards and business cards stashed in that little pouch.

I was so excited when I reached out to Erin Condren and they kindly offered $50 gift certificates (the perfect amount to create your own planner) to two lucky readers.

Here’s how to enter:

-Leave a comment with something you’re looking forward to in the next month

-Tweet “I want to win @erincondren from @fitnessista #favoritethings” and leave an extra comment with the link to your tweet!

Ready, set, go!

xoxo

    I’m looking forward to spending time with my family as usually we are 4,000 miles apart! (I also really need to get my butt in gear because I wanted to get my sis one of these planners for Christmas!)

    I’m sure it’s weird that with all the Apple products in my bag, I still walk around with a paper planner. Except, I don’t feel weird when I read posts like this. Thanks!
    Yes, I’d LOVE to win!
