It is not just a hobby; it is a lifestyle. Ask anyone with a planner that costs more than $30. Organization will take over your life very, very soon if it hasn't already.
9:00 am: You wake up and check iPhone calendar for events for the day.
9:15 am: You get out of bed and check the desk and/or wall calendar (but probably both) for more important events that weren't on your phone calendar.
9:30 am: Eat breakfast and shower.
10 am: You recheck the calendars mentioned above for any event that may have been missed.
10:47 am: It is now time to head to first class of the day.
10:55 am: You sit in your unofficial official class seat.
10:56 am: Time to pull out actual planner, most likely an Erin Condren LifePlanner, Lilly Pulitzer, or Passion Planner. All are self-respecting planners, if I say so, and you write down anything on the board regarding dates.
11:00 am-12:15 pm: You sit through another (likely) painful class not relative to your major.
12:16 pm: You pull out the planner mentioned above and write down any homework or important due dates in the future. (And, of course, it is in that class’s specific colored pen, because this is not anarchy.)
12:25 pm: Arrive back at sorority house/dorm/apartment for lunch.
12:45 pm: Sit down at a table at said establishment and pull out your planner yet again. You peruse through the many perfectly colored and sticker-filled pages, because you just get so excited.
1:00 pm: After 15 minutes of getting lost in your past academic and extracurricular life from last semester, you wonder how you ever lasted all the way to finals, and realize you should start to do actual work.
1:50 pm: Bathroom break.
1:55 pm: You decide that it is time to check your planner again, just in case you missed anything, you know?
2:17 pm: You pack up your laptop, books, and beloved planner and head out the door to your second class.
2:23 pm: You see a random girl sitting on a bench with your same planner opened up and you immediately know she’s one of your own kind.
2:27 pm: You get to your second class of the day, open up your laptop, and click on the “iCal” app and see what the rest of your day/week/month is looking like, because you’re a very important person.
2:30 pm: Your professor begins lecturing, but you are just way too infatuated with making sure all of your calendars on your computer are color-coded just right.
2:47 pm: You look up during the lecture and see that a date was written on the board, and you immediately whip out your planner and write it in.
3:15 pm: Again, you write down your homework for the class, stuff it into your North Face backpack, and hurry out.
3:30 pm: You finally get home and all of your classes are over for the day. You decide to take a break from all this organization and watch Netflix in bed, only to discover that a little icon has popped up in the top right corner saying that you have a coffee date in 15 minutes with Becky. How could you have forgotten this?
3:32 pm: Reapply your concealer, because organization is strenuous.
3:45 pm: Roll up to Starbucks.
3:56 pm: Becky tells you she just ordered her first Erin Condren and you couldn’t be more proud.
4:15 pm: You part ways with Becky and head home again.
6:30 pm: Most important time of the day. Dinner time.
7:30 pm: After stuffing your face with lots of carbs, you now start to attempt your homework.
7:34 pm: After staring at the wall, you realize that you should pull out your planner.
7:35 pm: Your planner is pulled out, and now you can look at the same things you've looked at all day, but you don't care.
7:45 pm: You actually begin your homework.
8:18 pm: You finish your first task, and that means you get to cross it off your to-do list. Major win.
10:30 pm: You continue this cycle until you either finish your work or are too tired to go on, but probably the latter, and decide to check any and all calendars, planners, and agendas before you go to bed and wait to do it all again tomorrow.
