If you’re anything like me, the end of 2016 may have hoping that 2017 will somehow offer something better than where we feel we are now. However that’s something that happens by planning and doing — not just hoping. Which is why finding inspirational 2017 planners may have even more meaning right now than it has in years past for lots of us.
There’s nothing quite like opening the pristine white pages of a new day planner to make me feel like this year is going to be totally different and better than ever before. You know, the year I finish that novel, run my first marathon, change the world in small ways, achieve emotional equilibrium. And, oh yeah, have a baby.
So I searched for pretty, inspirational 2017 planners to fill with all my great expectations, (totally achievable, cough) life goals, and important dates too, of course. Because just jotting it all down is sometimes all the motivation I need.
