The Importance of Planning!


"He who fails to plan is planning to fail"

I am a big planner. I always have a million lists and schedules on the go and my diary is like an extention of my right arm. I've tried using the calendar in my iPhone but after many years of trying different things I have reached the conclusion that nothing organises my life quite like a diary or planner I can physically write in.

This applies to all areas of my life, whether it's writing daily to-do lists, writing birthdays and events in my diary or planning my meals and workouts for the week.

Way back when I started Tone It Up, I created myself a chart to monitor my meals, and exercise on a weekly basis. I find sitting down on a Sunday night and writing my plan for the week ahead and preparing as much as I can for my meals (chopping veggies, portioning hommus and yogurts etc.) really helps keep me on track.

After watching BridgetNicole26's video on planning I was motivated to add a few more planners to my life! I work as a graphic designer so any excuse to pretty up a table or document and I get strangely excited. I thought I would share these as hopefully they can be useful to some of the other girls on the TIU team!
