I Would Be Lost Without My Agenda

I Would Be Lost Without My Agenda

It's true. I would be. My agenda is the glue that holds my entire academic and extracurricular life together. I loved the Prep Avenue Planner I purchased back in July and use that as my blogging agenda for planning out Daily Dose of Prep and Markley Prescott, but when it comes to classes, interviews, homework, meetings, and everything else I just couldn't live without my Erin Condren Hourly agenda. This agenda has seven days in a two page spread and lists out every half hour

The September Issue (Downloads Inside)

The September Issue (Downloads Inside)

I was blown away to see that so many of you enjoyed using my August desktop and computer backgrounds. Because of the overwhelming response, I wanted to release the September ones a day early so you too can get excited by the turn of the month. I love flipping the page on a monthly agenda, erasing my white board calendar and starting anew, and changing my desktop with the months. This months wallpaper was inspired by the warm and comforting colors of fall. A trendy blush pink,

Difference in the Details: How to Manage Being a Perfectionist

Difference in the Details: How to Manage Being a Perfectionist

My mom always tells me she prays each morning "that God will help the perfectionist in her third child (me) to not stress so much about everything life has to offer". If there's one thing you can count on it's that I'm the biggest type-A perfectionist on the East Coast. Anything from making my bed like a Pottery Barn catalog to organizing my agenda, working on presentations, and setting up business proposals have to be at my perfect standard before I can feel confident in the

How I Stay Organized on a Busy Schedule

How I Stay Organized on a Busy Schedule

I've talked about it multiple times this semester, but I'm currently working on a really busy schedule. It's totally my choice, and a love everything I'm a part of, but oftentimes I wonder why how I'm not drowning. Recently many of y'all have been messaging me about my agenda, my organization tactics, and just how I stay on track in general. If there's one thing I'm really good at, it's staying organized. I've always been one to write lists, keep an agenda, and mark on my cal

Shop My Desk

Shop My Desk

I shared an image of my desk at school on Instagram the other day and people love it. I was so surprised to see how many of you loved it. For me, my space at school has to be both a cute and inviting space all while keeping me on task and productive. I use my desk at my apartment a lot, where most students use the library on campus, I talk aloud when I study and I can't quite get that done at the library. My desk is comprised of very inexpensive items which come together to m

How to Make Your Own Planner Stickers

How to Make Your Own Planner Stickers

I just purchased an Erin Condren Timeless Planner and am completely obsessed with it. I have always been sort of OCD, especially when it comes to my schedule, so I thought I would switch from the Lilly Pulitzer agenda to the Timeless planner. The Timeless Planner offers me so much more as an organizer. You can design the pages to have different layouts. I chose the scheduled pages this year so I can block out times for classes and work and visualize how much time I have for b
