Have you ever tried to stay organized by attempting to commit everything to memory? If you haven’t noticed yet, it rarely, if ever, works. Extremely organized people write down everything from detailed to-do lists to meticulously logged meals and calories in their food journals. Most of us aren’t that neurotic to be sure, but there is something quite alluring about knowing exactly how many calories were lurking in those ten chocolate chip cookies you ate for lunch or being certain of your next hair appointment. So, take it from us, if you really want to be organized, write down everything!

In this new eco-era that’s vibrant with green possibilities we now have easy access to planners that were created with the environment in mind. Love that! Here are a few we’ve found that we’re sure you’ll love also.

For the Art Lover In All of Us
Come Along Weekly Planner by Lart C. Berliner

We really loved this planner right away; perhaps it’s because we’re huge art connoisseurs and love when creative types can capture that feeling on paper. Graced on the cover with a colored pencil landscape drawing by Lart C. Berliner this journal has everything inside you’ll need to stay properly organized like 54 dateless weeks (one week is spread over two pages), reference mini-calendars for 2008-2010, 7 personal resource pages (important dates, special occasions/gift list, personal reference, things to check out), 3 address book pages, and 10 notes pages (4 lined, 6 blank). Not only is this journal beautiful on the inside and out – it has art on every inside page – it is also made with100% post-consumer recycled paper and printed with soy-based inks.

For the Studious Student in All of Us
At-A-Glance Weekly Planner
If you prefer a more straight-forward eco-journal without all the bells and whistles or art and designs we recommend the At-A-Glance Weekly or Monthly Floral Appointment Book. Although this appointment book does have floral designs on each page, they’re not overpowering.

The At-A-Glance Appointment Book’s standout qualities are two-page-per-month spreads, telephone/address section and a flexible, burgundy, and a wirebound cover to protect your planner. It is also made with recycled paper with 30 percent post-consumer material.
