Hey, you,

It's me. Yes, I know I usually just sit in silence and look aesthetically pleasing, but as you just crossed out "assignment due at 11:55 PM" with your favorite black gel pen, I'm noticing some hostility? Are you stressed? Let's have a chat.

There are some things I'd like you to know. First of all, thanks for choosing me out of all the other planners. I know they were tempting you with their different styles, colors, and layouts. Just out of curiosity, was it my quotes and inspirational sayings that sold you on me? Or was it the detailed boxes with bold bullet points and time slots for you to schedule your days minute by minute? I know that you spent an embarrassing amount of time in the Target aisle, or on whatever online site you ordered me off of. So, thanks. I'm flattered that you felt I would live up to your expectations.

Oh, and thank you for color coding me. I'm very similar to you in the aspect that I love looking nice and put together. Some might even say I'm a work of art, ha. I also genuinely appreciate the way that you only use thin markers on me and never, ever press so hard that the color leaks through the page. Another thing that I should add is that I feel your pain when you have to use white-out on me. Like, seriously. I do. (Sometimes I feel like you get really frustrated when you have to grab the white out from your pencil bag, but I just want to clarify that it's not my fault and I also am mad when you brush it over the error. Just so you know.)

Now that you are aware that I think very highly of your organized self, I want you to know you have some strange habits. Like, why do you write down "shower" or "eat dinner" in your planner? Are those things that you forget to do if you don't write them down? I understand planning daily or hourly, but the whole minute by minute planning kind of stresses me out. Even though I really enjoy the satisfied look on your face as you cross out your weird habits.

Something else that you should know about me is that I'm very observant. I notice that you don't use me as much on the weekends and I think that's kind of rude considering I'm here for you every single day of the week. Sometimes you literally write "GIRLS NIGHT!" on Saturday and then have the audacity to not bring me with? That's called excluding me. Weekends are lonely for me as it is, so please take that into consideration. Thnx.

On a positive note, day after day, I've watched you stress over deadlines, assignments, and meetings. I want you to know that you've got this. You seriously rock.

So, that's all for now, Girlfriend. Happy planning,

XOXO,

Your Planner
