If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Most of us know this to be true, so why do we still tend to flutter through life overwhelmed and avoiding action?
There are a variety of methods to keep your schedule on track and get more done each day. Some women prefer to keep everything digital, which is totally fine. I, on the otherhand, still prefer good ol’ paper and pen. Throw in a variety pack of hi-liters and it’s basically heaven.
I used to be the queen of the organized planner.
How do you think I made it all the way through medical school with some of my sanity?
However, it seems like the second I started having babies, my ability to stay organized and keep a schedule completely fell apart.
I now envy my husband’s seamless ability to keep to do lists, and get shi* done.
For 2020, I’m officially on the hunt for the perfect planner, and I’ve rounded up some of the best planners for busy moms.
Let this be the year that you make a plan, set goals, and take care of you!
Say goodbye to survival mode, and start tackling your to do list, with these beautiful, goal oriented planners for 2019.

Slay Your Goals Planner- It’s All You Boo
“Best Printable Planner”
I love printable planners because you can customize them, rearrange them, and bind them together however you like best.
Also, you can usually get an extremely valuable product, for a much lower cost than a physical product, because the creator does not have to maintain production and shipping costs.
Nadalie has got it ALL figured out.
Her Slay Your Goals Planner is ridiculously good.
This 60+ page planner is laid out so perfectly, with multiple options for daily, weekly, and monthly planning.
I love this planner because everything starts with your ONE big goal, then walks you through flow charts and questions to break your big goal down into quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals.

hi! I'm shannon
I’m a wife, mom of three, doctor, and blogger! In 2018, I decided to turn my mom blog, into a personal finance blog so others could follow along on our journey to pay off over HALF a MILLION dollars in student loan and practice start up debt. I hope you enjoy following along, and maybe even find some inspiration along the way.
