I am not naturally organized. In fact, even when I try really hard I am not really organized. I have great ideas, and I mean well, but, in reality, I am just not an organized person…or am I?
In fact, I have made wonderful forms that keep my older children organized in their homeschool lesson and records, but when it comes to keeping me organized…well, I really struggle.
Well see, I am getting better, because now I have this book that is now my external brain…The On the Go planner from Home Educating Family and Well Planned Day.
This planner has saved me a lot of trouble, embarrassment, and chaos. I write down everything in it. Notes from online meetings for work, dates for everything, blog posts to write, when my product reviews are due, menu plans, grocery lists, household projects, and more.
My On the Go Planner has a place on my desk, a place in my bag, and is used during grocery shopping. I don’t leave home without it.
The On the Go Planner has a monthly layout with weekly layouts following each month. The weekly layouts start with Monday, have a place for chores or tasks, a timed schedule that you can write in appointments for each day, a place to write your dinner menu, a shopping list area, and what to do while out and about area, There is also a place for household projects, purchases to make, Birthdays and Anniversaries to remember, and bills to pay.
Each week has an encouraging quote, and also an area for notes.
Right after the monthly layout each month there is a Money Management area. It has just about everything you could think of here.
At the front of the planner, there is:
- year at a glance
- Goal Planning pages
- Article about Resolutions
- Annual budget and expenses
- Homemaking Special Projects
- Greeting Card Registry
- Addresses
- My Responsibilities
- Notes
This planner starts with July, and is based on a school year. Between November and December, there is a simple Christmas or Holiday Planner. Example pages can help you understand the Planner’s set up.
This planner has been a saving grace over the last three weeks. When I planned the A Journey Through Learning Facebook Party, I used this planner to keep me on track. By the day of the party, I was literally so ready that I was driving myself batty just trying to wait for it to start. In my previous non On the Go Planner Days I never would have been that ready.
I am ready at the drop of a hat for a day of grocery shopping, and can tell when I have appointments or activities all in a glance.
The On the Go planner is the planner for mom, or other busy women. It has just about everything you can think of.
This planner is small enough to fit in your purse or diaper bag, yet big enough to write it all down. It is also very cute.
I received this planner free for my honest review. I will receive no further compensation.

I would enjoy giving this a go. As a former Franklin-Covey devotee, I now need something for the business of family rather than business of the world. The On The Go looks like it may be the ticket.
Thank you for the review!
I have the large desk-sized version of the Well-Planned Day organizer and it is wonderful! But, it’s way too big to carry around with you outside the house. This smaller version would be absolutely wonderful and would take the place of all those tiny notes I write to myself(and then forget about)and stick in my purse, in the car, etc. Great products!
I am currently looking for a new planner.
I think I gave you the wrong twitter link. This is the correct one https://twitter.com/#!/MikeAWife/status/137298974464946176
I NEED one of these!
Looks like a nice planner
Could always use a good planner. Might be a good gift idea as well!
I need this. Apparently my brain left me somewhere in the middle of September. I could really use some help finding it again.

I’m like you-I THOUGHT I was organized but as my family gets bigger and we take on more things, I’m not. This would be a great tool for me. Thanks for the entry!

I need a planner like this.
I’m the same way as far as being unorganized. But I have the big planner from Well-Planned Day, and it helps me a lot! I would love to have one for my purse, though. I would be even more organized if I had that!

I would love to have one of these planners!!!
I would SOOO love to win this:)
I usually use my iPod and a full-sized calendar to keep up with stuff, but I think I’d rather have a cute one that’s a good size to use at home and to carry with me.
