I have always stressed and had some anxiety about there not being enough hours in the day. I am a dreamer & always want to do so many things but don’t find or make the time to do it. I have realized that this is something that I can work on. This year I have really been trying to work on time management and how to make it work. I think it’s crazy to think about how we all have the same 24 hours in the day but there are people getting so much done. It is hard not to think about how they are doing it & I can’t seem to get my stuff together haha. I have read a bunch of things on Pinterest & nothing really was sticking.
I am so excited to share this TIME SAVING PLANNER with you! And in case you are already sold use code MCKC10 for 10% off!
I kinda felt like I was running around with my head chopped off & doing a lot but also a whole lot of nothing. I went to a conference with my father in law that he had been to multiple times & my husband went to in the past too. Eric told me that it would help me with time management & it for sure did! So the conference is called Becoming Your Best & it is great. I learned a lot but the most important thing was pre-week planning. Let me share a little about what this means!
So we all have different aspects of our life that we want to work on. Each person defines the roles that matter most to them. That way you are focusing on all aspects of your life & feel like you are getting stuff done all around. My roles I focus on weekly are wife, mother, boss babe aka work, social/friend, church responsibilities. I like to color coat them so I can see what goes where & where I am spending my time. So the idea is that on Saturday/ Sunday you plan your upcoming week. You can schedule things on the monthly planner when they come up so you don’t forget but you only plan a week at a time so you don’t get overwhelmed. So when you are planning you look at what you have going on & add them to your roles at the top of the week. Then you schedule it in & plan your week. So I do it on my own & so does Eric & then we plan together so we both know what is going on & what is happening during the week. It helps us a lot because sometimes we forget to tell each other whats happening. I hope these photos do this process justice. Planning like this has helped me sooo much that I am truly passionate about sharing this with you. I asked on my Instagram stories a few months ago how people manage their time & a lot of people messaged back saying when you find out let me know haha. I love these BYB planners because they really do help me be my best. I love that I focus on each role & not just work all the time when I have spare time. I truly feel like I get more down & still have extra time. How does that work?! Also when it is scheduled then I actually do it & feel accomplished.
This planner truly creates balance in your life. But it is more than a planner, it also contains a vision statement creator, yearly goal tracker, and 30+ lined note pages to keep track of your thoughts and ideas. The planner also shares The 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders. Within the planner you will also find over 65 motivational messages to help inspire greatness and success in your life.
As I am showing in the first photo this planner comes in 2 sizes. The smaller one is the one Eric prefers & I like the bigger one! I write a lot & really big haha. I also like on the big one that there is a bigger calendar to write on in my monthly view.

Here are the outside of the new planners! I love the leather look! The price of these planners is for sure worth it. With cheap planners I buy at Target I use them here & there but not effectively. You will save soooo much time when you schedule like this that the price pays for itself ten fold. Your mental sanity alone will thank you! There are many amazing things I learned at the Becoming Your Best conference but this habit of pre week planning is the thing I will do the rest of my life.
