The Life Of An Over-Planner

Being organized is really cool.

The Life Of An Over-Planner

Planning is awesome. For an over-planner like myself, it's a daily routine AND a hobby. I can honestly say that few things rival the feeling of successfully planning my day/week/month. Checking off lists and organizing schedules are more tasks that don't feel like a chore, they are sort of fun! Over-planners of the world unite, because we understand it's not our fault we enjoy being organized.

1. Planners are life.

You might have the same exact schedule every week. But you better believe it's going to be written and color coded in your planner. You probably carry your planner with you most places, and the one time you thought you lost it you just about had a heart attack because you didn't know what you had going on for the rest of the week.

2. How many calendars are too many?

The calendar that has a kitten for each month is super cute, but then you also want the calendar that shows you a tropical landscape each month. Then you obviously need the desktop calendar that takes up your whole desk and allows you to write your schedule bigger, and have it at your fingertips. Your email calendar syncs to your phone so you have it on both applications, and you also have a whiteboard calendar just so everyone else can see how awesomely organized you are.

3. I need to know when this is so I can put it in my calendar(s).

Waiting for people to tell you when things are is excruciating. You know there is going to be something eventually, but when? Exactly? I need to pencil it into my four calendars.

4. I'm sorry, I can't go out because have to organize my life.

I'd really like to go and hang out with you guys, but if I go with then I won't know what time I have free to hang out with you the next week. You see, it's actually imperative to our friendship that I stay home and fill out my planner and calendars for the next month because otherwise I will go crazy.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
