Summer may be in full swing, but walk into many stores and you’ll be greeted with a sign that says, “Back to School“! It’s kind of like Halloween candy appearing in August and holiday decor appearing next to the pumpkin carving kits. It just seems early.
But, then I remind myself, it’s never too early to get organized and I always feel the desire for sharpened pencils and a brand new notebook around this time of year.
I stumbled upon a grown up version that had me doing double takes. The Day Designer by Whitney English ($55) is a year long calendar that takes organization beyond what to do when, but a tool that helps you decide what to do when based upon your authentic values, skills and desires. In other words, intentional living starts every morning. By prioritizing your days, weeks, months and years we can design our time so that we are truly living our best life.
If you don’t think this is the perfect set up for you, but like it for a friend or relative, take a look at these limited edition monogrammed versions! Order now for delivery by November 15th and you have a perfect holiday gift!!
If you need a little help getting organized or just want to take a closer look, all of the items are available on Whitney’s etsy site here!
What’s your best way to stay organized?
I'm so going to order one of these for me and a few for some of my fabulous clients! How beautiful!
With little Sasha coming, I will need all the organization I can get!
Thanks for sharing!

Elizabeth,
I just ordered one of these yesterday. I think the best way to stay organized is to de-clutter and clear one's desk or one's work area and then start. Starting fresh is always motivational for me and then of course stylish day planners too. Whitney's designs are so clean and chic.
Happy Monday~

I wish I could still use a planner! With my blended family of eight and working full time I was forced to move to the Google online calendar…not nearly as fun as having an adorable agenda! I just love the look of the Day Designer and I also love the Lilly Pulitzer agendas…one day I will move back to a day planner! I do love the weekly menu planner and meal planners, as well as the password list, and think I will order some of those!
Wow, this looks like a great tool. I'm a little more "creative" than organized and need all the help I can get… and the fact that it's so pretty makes it all the better.
Great find, Elizabeth!
Have a wonderful week! XOXO
I love all of the beautiful planners Elizabeth. However I found myself writing in triplicate; in my planner, on the calender and in my Outlook Calender! Ha! Now I just go with my online Outlook and everything is in one neat place!

Pretty organizers E! I'm down to two ways- my phone which is with me all the time, and the master calendar in the kitchen that covers everyone's schedules. What I love about that calendar is it starts in August and covers 15-months!

Oh wow…I love these! I can't decide whether to order one now to get organized ASAP or to wait for next year and get a monogrammed one.
I hope you are having a wonderful day!! Let's set up a coffee date soon to talk about Italy!! xoxo
Hi, Elizabeth!
I've been looking for a thank you gift for a friend, and this is perfect. She loves monogramed items. I forwarded your monogrammed pillow shams post to her a while ago 🙂 Enjoy the rest of July. Chat more in August 🙂

I love these, especially the monogrammed ones and think I need to order one for myself and of course these make great gifts. Having something stylish like this on hand just makes me want to be more organized!!
Love the monogrammed version! I'm a huge list keeper and I like to have everything written out in front of me (everyone else seems to do all this on their computer;) Interesting though that my daughter is like her mamma in that she uses day-timers and journals. I'll be looking into this for the next year! Happy Monday:) xxL
I LOVE the Day Designer!! I've been using it all year *and* I've given three as gifts. Whitney is awesome – so talented and so kind.

We're so going over to Whitney's site to get organized! Had a moment of panic when we realized that July is coming to an end and school will be starting soon. Summer has flown by!

Just what I need–I seriously have papers and passwords everywhere! Hope you are enjoying the summer!

I absolutely love those. Now, just have to decide which one for me and which ones for those on my list! Thanks for this great idea.
I was just lamenting the fact that the back to school commercials and store displays are out in full swing already! Summer here in Michigan is short, so I don't need to be reminded that it is already on the downswing!
That being said, I love the organizers, especially the meal and menu planners. What a great idea!
Holly
These organizers are amazing! Forget about writing in them, they're all so pretty!
