How I Stay Organised
Paper or digital? How do you prefer to stay organised, day-to-day?
When you have a lot of plates to spin, it's easy to get a) overwhelmed and b) forgetful. Half of the stress of managing a busy life is planning and preparation. Here's how I stay organised.
Although we very much live in a digital age, I am a pen and paper girl at heart. I just love to write things down.
For day-to-day planning and writing down dates, I use my Bright Side diary. It's created by Rachel Bright and she is an absolute genius. It's not just a little book filled with dates, the copy all the way through is very funny and each month, there is a page of inspiration and a mantra to think about.
Alongside that, I use a little notebook to write to-do lists. I split each one down into categories. So, I typically make a blog to-do list, a client to-do and then any other random things like 'popping to the bank', or whatever.
The team over at Nu Notebooks sent me a lovely little gift pack, which is coming in handy for my to-do lists. The elite A4 journal is brilliant as a working notebook for ideas, ongoing work, writing copy etc.
Alongside that, they have just launched a brand new app. This is great for if you're on the go a lot, as you can add information and add photographs to make sure you're keeping yourself up-to-date with your particular project on the go. They've made a fab little video to show you how to get the best out of the app.

How do you like to stay organised? Are you a pen and paper advocate, prefer all-digital, or do you mix it up with a bit of both?
