How I Use My Emily Ley Simplified Planner
MONTH: AT A GLANCE
Write down when bills are due.
Sponsored content for the blog deadlines.
Scheduled blog posts.
Work events like jeans day and payday.
Include appointments. Fill in holidays and birthdays so you don’t forget to send a card!
WEEKLY: AT A GLANCE
Schedule when to take photos for the blog.
Write down commitments to go to the gym.
Make note of what errands can be done after work and errands to run over the weekend. Schedule time for self-care, for example, manicures, wash your hair and nighty skincare routine.
I keep my planner at my desk at work since I spend the majority of my time of the week there. On Fridays, I look quickly to see what I have going on during the weekend and put down my errands that need to be run on post it that I keep on the back of my phone. I will also check to see if any birthdays or anniversaries are coming up so I can send a card on time.
On Monday morning, I fill out my planner for the week so I am prepped and ready for the week ahead. I love my Emily Ley Simplified Planner because every day has a to-do list making it easy to write down things to do. I keep my personal to-do list at the top of the list and write down blog things on the bottom to keep things organized. In the notes section on the bottom of each daily page, I write down the blog posts that are scheduled for each day to remind me to finish writing them. A lot of work goes into each post and I always have the post written and it’s missing photos or I started a blog post and never finished!
I honestly do not know how I would live without my planner and to do lists! This is my first year using the Simplified Planner and after just a few days of using it this year, my life is a lot more simplified!

TV Shows I’m Watching Lately
My favorite thing to do after work is to come home and put on comfy clothes before heading to my couch to binge watch a few episodes before going to bed. In between episodes I will get up to make a quick dinner or tidy up a corner of my apartment and as a reward I get to watch another episode.
With my work schedule, I get home late at night so I don’t always get to watch my tv shows live. On Saturday mornings, I will catch up on everything on Demand or Hulu but I think I got spoiled with Netflix being able to binge multiple episodes at one time. I’ve been known to binge watch multiple seasons of shows found on Netflix or Hulu in a short amount of time. There are so many hidden little gems that I feel are overlooked because they weren’t pushed enough when they were on air or they are made for Netflix.
I thought it would be fun to share what I have been watching lately…
The Bold Type
Honestly, this show gave me work and friendship goals! I immediately fell in love with the characters and the relevant plot that is fresh and rarely seen on tv. Finally, a show about millennials that I can relate to!
Younger
This show has been on the air for a few seasons now and I am sure you haven’t heard of it. Now I dare you to just watch one episode and not stay up until 3am binge watching. It is about a mom from the suburbs who gets divorced and gets a job for a book publishing company. Problem is that she only could get a job by lying about her age. It is full of laughs and reminds all of us how easy we have it sometimes when it comes to technology!
Dynasty
It is all the gossip and drama we loved about Gossip Girl in a new show that follows
Southern Charm
I don’t know what it is about this show, but I am obsessed! It takes everything we love about reality tv and adds some class that most shows lack. It follows a group of friends living in Charleston showing their day to day lives, drama and what socialites in the South are like.
Chrisley Knows Best
I can rewatch old episodes for hours whenever I need a good laugh. Some of it is scripted, but the shenanigans they get into are hilarious! It is my favorite show when I want to multitask with something easy to watch on tv.
Desperate Housewives
It is one of those classic shows that I never watched so now that I found it on Hulu I cannot stop watching!
