Happy Friday! Brrr…
another cold snap has taken over and I for one am so ready for temps above 40.
While I’m wishing for spring along with most everybody I know at this point, I’m
thankful for January and all the “new” stuff it brings.
Like calendars and planners.
I love calendars. No, scratch
that, I love functional calendars. Not those little purse thingies with
their little bitty squares that I need two of per activity. Nope I like extra
room for my leftie scrawl. So when Shoplet.com asked me if I’d like to review a
desk calendar and weekly business planner for House of Dolittle, I happily agreed. I received the products shown above free of
charge to share my opinions, which are 100% my own and may differ from yours.
About House of
Dolittle:
House of Dolittle has been helping people be more productive
during their daily activities since 1919. They happily make all their products
in the U.S.A. in Chicago, IL. All products are made with 100% post –consumer paper
and soy inks. My kind of company!
This desk top calendar reminds me of my many years (pre-kids) working
outside the home in various secretarial and administrative positions. I had to have one on my desk. I wrote on it constantly. Not just important
dates and key points of conversations, but reminders of what I needed to do and
all the audibles tossed at me during the day from fellow office employees.
For at home use, this beauty resides on our family desktop.
We all sit there and work and get frustrated when there is no paper to write on
(usually because somebody carted off the notepad placed there). Now everybody
can write all they want and have a visual reminder of what they wanted to
remember instead of just telling me.
This weekly business planner though?
It’s all mine and is strictly for business. I have a lot to
keep track of daily with my husband’s business, my blog and my Avon business.
Way too much to put in my family planner. The weekly planner has lots of room
for me to write on each day, an at a glance week view that I use often and it
even offers an expense report ledger on the bottom of each page making it so
much easier for me to keep track of the his, mine, ours business spending we
do. It will also serve as a reminder of expenditures we need to remember come tax time. Ugh, taxes! Another thing to "like" about January! *wink*
I’m very pleased with these products, they are easy to use and are helping me stay on task. It's not to late to buy yourself some new office supplies like these or the many other products available at Shoplet.com
As always, I hope you found this review helpful. Please share with me in comments, what type of planner or calendar system do you use to stay organized?
