What made you decide to start a blog all about planning and planners? I found that when I was using my smart phone, I wasn’t taking the time to type in all of the important information I needed to know and I was always thinking “What if my event got deleted or my phone died?” Writing it down in my planner is so much safer and easier for me. I feel decorating and using a paper planner is more personal and I find I want to use it more when I decorate it with stickers and accessories. I find sometimes that I can’t remember what happened last week, let alone last year! Plus, it’s fun to see how your planning aesthetic has evolved and changed over the years. My “Mom Brain” is so forgetful sometimes and I love to document cute or important things about my kids in my planner, so I can look back and remember. Decorating my planner is like scrapbooking and journaling my life. Why do you think planners are so popular in this ever-growing technology age? Why not just use your smart phone?įor me, planning on paper is a creative outlet. My cousin Jessica at My Planner Envy started her blog awhile ago and I just recently found this out! So today, I’m sharing my interview with Jessica because I think she is a “planning pro” and she answers those why-is-planning-a-trend questions! I searched #planneraddict on Instagram, planners on Pinterest, and thousands of results came up. However, I kept seeing planners all over social media. I thought to myself, “Why wouldn’t somebody just use their smart phones?” or “with all the apps and technology out there why would I go back to a planner?” It didn’t make sense to me. Planners have been everywhere lately (especially in the past year) and to be honest – I just didn’t understand it. I always love to cover the latest craft trends and today is all about one of the latest…PLANNERS!
