Feeling organised and planning

Today I bought my handbag planner diary and entered up the few dates in 2027 that I've already got. The kitchen wall diary arrived yesterday and I'll update it too. I'm feeling pleasantly organised. I like to have a few things, markers in the year, to work towards.
Do others like this or are they happy to go with the flow?

I like to be organised as well. I am a ‘list’ person. I have a To-do list on my iPhone and a handwritten list too 😂., Birthdays, appointments, all go in there and I set ‘reminders’. I used to have a wall planner, but don’t bother with that now .

I have to have everything written down otherwise I will forget where I'm supposed to be, and when, and what I'm supposed to be doing!

We've just got our usual Sainsbury's kitchen calendar, free with the magazine. We already have a few things planned for early next year (including OH's football) and our holiday is booked for September, so it's nice to be able to fill them in.

I also use my calendar on my mobile because like GillyMo, I'm very forgetful so I need to take the "belt and braces" approach!

For the first year ever, I bought next year's diary in June.
Felt much better that leaving it until turn of year.

Plus half of what I write in, goes from year to year.
