    Sometimes I feel like I need a calendar for every kid. Nice lens.

    As a busy at home mom a planner really comes in handy. Really like the Peanuts calender.

    Lovely selection of organisers - I may ask for one for Christmas :)
  • CelinaHamm Jun 16, 2011 @ 1:04 pm | delete
    YES! I'd be lost without mine. You have a great selection on here. Also, I loved the one of pregnancy sticker calendar and new baby (on another lens of yours). Those are so much fun to do through pregnancy and babies first years. I had them with my babies and so enjoyed them. Great Lenses!!! :)

    no successful person can do without a calendar. You have a variety of the loveliest, thanks for sharing.

    A great assortment of family calendars and planners, helps to stay organized.

    Lovely planners for Moms. Unfortunately my Mother is not literate :(

    You've offered some really fun and stylish designs. I just love Anne Geddes work.

    I'd be lost without my desk calendar. I write everything on it. I hardly ever use my Blackberry calendar for anything. Go figure.
  • dawnsantiquesandmore Jan 17, 2011 @ 1:21 pm | delete
    I love planners I carry one in my purse at all times. I would be lost without it.
  • Tilly4Family Jan 12, 2011 @ 8:56 pm | delete
    YES! I love my desk calender! We fill in all the activities for the month then post them on a bulletin board so that EVERYONE knows and no one has any excuse for missing anything! nice lens! thanks!
  • Steve-SEO-UK Jan 8, 2011 @ 4:18 pm | delete
    Still rate my old Filofax over digital products. I have a desk and pocket diary. Wouldn't be without them. The old brain cannot retain all info all of the time. Great idea for a Lens - many thanks.
  • Treasures-By-Brenda Jan 7, 2011 @ 4:56 pm | delete
    I like the desk calendar best and I'm trying to get better at using ONE calendar for EVERYTHING. I tend to put family obligations in the calendar and business ones on scraps of paper...
  • Pinkchic18 Jan 6, 2011 @ 3:45 pm | delete
    Love the idea of these. I find it's hard to find one that's large enough to write all that is going on, but small enough to travel in your purse or car.
  • Lisa-Marie-Mary Jan 6, 2011 @ 2:29 pm | delete
    Two years in a row I had the Mom's Plan It calendar - absolutely loved it! Would be great to have a planner version, didn't even realized they had those! This year I just grabbed what was at the store in the college kids going-back-to-school section.
  • mskaylay Jan 6, 2011 @ 1:02 pm | delete
    Yes I have to have a planner to keep me organized, nice lens!
  • chidchan Jan 3, 2011 @ 9:49 am | delete
    Hi! I'm looking for an appointment planner. This lense is very useful.Thank you so much.
  • SereneSea Jan 3, 2011 @ 12:41 am | delete
    Nothing better than welcoming the new year 2011 with desktop calendars and planners to organize oneself.
  • dryder Jan 2, 2011 @ 8:20 pm | delete
    Use Steven Covey ... congrats on LOTD ... great work!!
  • madbaker Jan 2, 2011 @ 11:43 am | delete
    Amy Knapp makes engagement calendars in addition to the Big Grid. My wife has been using her planner for at least 6 years now. We special order it because she likes it so much. Highly recommended! :)
  • StriveDigital Jan 1, 2011 @ 11:15 am | delete
    They do keep me organized when I remember to fill them out. I do tend to write way too many lists when using these. Your selection is fabulous.
  • Deadicated Jan 1, 2011 @ 10:51 am | delete
    Cool lense, you might want to add a MUJI Planner too. Just a thought ;-)
  • DaddyOC Jan 1, 2011 @ 10:44 am | delete
    I'm a dad. I'm a really busy one, too. I've always loved planners, and can stick with them for quite a while if I find one I really like. This lens was very interesting. Do you know of any planners that are "daddy oriented"?
  • ronpass Dec 31, 2010 @ 7:28 pm | delete
    Wonderful array of planners for moms and dads. This is the time of the year to be exploring these planning tools. Thanks for the research and presentation of these calendars and planners.
  • bt55 Dec 31, 2010 @ 3:25 pm | delete
    I can't wait to get my paws on a great planner. They always help productivity and organization.
  • skiesgreen Dec 31, 2010 @ 3:13 pm | delete
    Fabulous lens and congrats on the award. Now featured on Squidoo LOTD Lenses
  • bcarter Dec 31, 2010 @ 8:40 am | delete
    Unfortunately, I have given up on planners. It seems that every time I buy one it's never used. I've started using Google calendar though which helps a little.

    We also have a wall calendar where we keep track of things, but it doesn't seem to get used very much.

    Thank you for the ideas though, maybe I could incorporate one or two :)
  • TateFisher Dec 31, 2010 @ 6:56 am | delete
    I love planners. Thanks for a great lens and showing us so many options. The discount code is great too!
  • LubosLabik Dec 31, 2010 @ 2:38 am | delete
    Good ideas how to be organized and where to find the interesting staff.
  • Susan52 Dec 30, 2010 @ 1:39 pm | delete
    I loved the Mom's Family calendar when I had kids at home with lots of activities. Great selection here! Congratulations on LOTD!
  • cluttercontrolfreak Dec 30, 2010 @ 12:32 pm | delete
    I love paper planners!! Tried electronic before, but there is just something about actually turning pages and writing things down that appeals to me. And I love picking out my new one each year!
  • Gloriousconfusion Dec 30, 2010 @ 11:48 am | delete
    Congratulations on LoTD. I would be tempted, but for the fact that I use the Outlook diary on my computer, and past experience tells me it is not a good idea to run two diaries, because sometimes appointments get overlooked that way.
  • prosperity66 Dec 30, 2010 @ 11:39 am | delete
    Congrats on your LOTD! And, by the way, great selection of 2011 calendars and other agendas!
  • PlannerPat Dec 30, 2010 @ 11:14 am | delete
    I love planners too! :) Great lens, I especially love the Bold Blossom's planner. If I hadn't already bought my 2011 planner, I would totally buy it.
  • mich1908 Dec 30, 2010 @ 10:16 am | delete
    My planner is the reminder module in my handphone! Great lense.
  • AdriennePetersen Dec 30, 2010 @ 10:15 am | delete
    I use two wall calendars to keep track of when to pay bills so I'm never late and other important events such as birthdays, things I need to do etc. Congrats on LOTD!
  • ludys Dec 30, 2010 @ 9:26 am | delete
    I still use paper planners. Great suggestions here. Thank you!
  • Dec 30, 2010 @ 8:45 am | delete
    I love this lens, I have a daily planner even though I am not a parent, i organize my life.

    Hey Mom!!! Get yours!!! Lets get 2011 Rocking!!! :)))
  • Hockeymom Dec 30, 2010 @ 8:08 am | delete
    I can't believe on this cutting edge, technology forward website you are suggesting paper calendars as the lense of the day! Ever heard of Google Calendar?? I have 3 kids that play hockey and we have our family calendar on our computers and phones, with each person designated by a different color. Get with it! We have entered a new age that doesn't require carrying around a planner!

    Absolutely! One with a magnet on the fridge, one in the hand bag and one big one in the desk =)

    Not a mom myself, but one of my favorite gifts this Christmas was from my mom. She got me a leather business planner, and while I am normally a very organized person but it is always good to have additional reminders.

    Congratulations on lens of the day, and have a happy new year!

    Great, timely lens! I'm not a Mom, but I can't live without multiple calendars and planners to keep both my work life and personal life organized. I love shopping for brand new calendars at the end of each year.

    I used to use a planner, all the time. But now I rely on alerts I put on my email to remind me of events. Super informative lens!
  • NealBeam Sep 29, 2010 @ 10:21 pm | delete
    I'm not much on keeping up with planners, so my wife does all of that, considering we have 5 kids and they all play sports on different nights and sometimes on the same night!

    I don't call it my organiser, I call it my brain.

    You've been blessed, and I've lensrolled it to my "You Too Can Be an Organised Mum" lens.

    Very nice selections of organizers! I kind of like that lime green one. Thanks for stopping by my lens today and for the blessing.
