Introducing the Post-it Mobile Collection {Love This!}

I’ve been a loyal fan of the Post-it brand for as long as I can remember.  There’s just something about being able to write myself a note or a reminder and sticking it exactly where I’ll see it, that just makes me happy.  I usually have a pile of Post-it notes on my desk and in various places throughout  the house and I even try to keep a stack  of them in my purse as well, but they usually just end up coming unstuck from each other and sticking to everything inside my purse.  I’ve hoped for products from Post-it that I can take with me (without having the entire contents of my purse stuck to them) forever and it seems like someone at Post-it finally heard my plea…alright maybe the people at Post-it came up with the idea for a mobile line without my help, either way, I’m already addicted to the Post-It Mobile Collection!

YES, you heard that correctly, the geniuses at Post-it have created an entire line of Post-it Mobile products.  Described as, “a line of Attach and Go products that work together to create a customizable on-the-go organization system”, the Post-It Mobile line includes “a variety of compact, functional Post-it Products including Pockets, Full Adhesive Notes, Flags, Tabs, Notes, Dispensers and Writing Tools that work together and help create a seamless and portable organization system”.  Being the Post-It addict that I am, I couldn’t wait to try out some of the products from the Post-it Mobile line and thanks to the awesome people at Post-it, I was able to do just that!

The Post-it Mobile Collection includes the VisorPost-it ® Attach and Go Notes and Tabs Clip Dispenser and the Post-it® Mobile Attach and Go3 in 1 Pen, both of which clip to items that you take with you like a backpack.  The Post-it® Mobile Attach and GoCar Visor Pop-up Note Dispenser which clips to your car visor…the one is one of my favorites from the line.  For items that you carry with you like your laptop there are the CarryPost-it ® Mobile Attach and Go Full Adhesive Note Pad, the Post-it ® Mobile Attach and Go Flags Dispenser, Post-it® Mobile Attach and GoNotes and Tabs Dispenser and the Post-it ® Mobile Attach and Go Tabs Dispenser.  Last but not least the CompanyPost-it® Mobile Attach and GoInsert and the Post-it ® Mobile Attach and Go Pocket insert inside items that you take with you like a binder or planner.

Post-it sent me a variety of products from their new Post-it Mobile line and I couldn’t wait to get started trying them out!  It didn’t take very long for me to put a few of my favorites from the Mobile line to use, the Post-it® Mobile Attach and Go Dispenser is my absolute favorite product from the Mobile line, it conveniently clips onto my car’s sun visor and is always there when  I need it—I love it!  Another of my favorites from the Post-it Mobile collection is the Post-it® Mobile Attach and Go 3 in 1 which features a yellow highlighter, black pen and 50 flags, mine stays in my purse for easy access and definitely comes in handy when I’m studying away from home.  All of the products from the Post-it Mobile line cost less than $7 and are incredible convenient; whether you travel a lot for business or you’re a busy student on the go, you’ll definitely want to check out the entire line of Post-it Mobile products—bet you can’t buy just one!

Organizing in the New Year

As I’ve admitted before, organization is something that eludes me, it’s not that I don’t try to get organized, it’s that I can never seem to stay that way. One of my blog resolutions for this year is to be more organized and I’m sure that task will be one filled with many bumps along the way. As my blog continues to grow so to do the information, resources, and contacts that I deal with on a daily basis making it more and more difficult with each passing day to be unorganized.

If organization is on your To Do list this year then I have the perfect thing for you …daptiv.com. If you’re looking for free project management software then daptiv has what you need. Portfolio management, ppm software, and project and portfolio management are just a few of the many ways their software can help you get organized and stay organized.

I’m not sure if I’ll ever be completely organized in all aspects of my life (or my blog) but at least now I know there are resources available to help me make my organizational goals a reality. And if on the off chance I manage to keep up with this organizational project you all will be the first to know.

Daysteps Personal Lifestyle Planner Review and Giveaway!

When it comes to organization I would consider myself to be slightly obsessive compulsive. I firmly believe that there is a place for everything and that everything should be neatly in its place. One of my favorite ways to get and stay organized is by using a planner. I currently have several planners and they all serve a different purpose; home, school, and blog. Why three? Well because no one planner seems to have adequate space to include all of the information I need it to.

I was recently introduced to a great company that makes organizing your home, health, and heart fun and easy. The Daysteps Personal Lifestyle Planner is perfect for women who feel the need to balance the most important areas of their lives. Daysteps was born when four St. Louis women got together and took on the challenge of developing a planner system to help women achieve balance in all aspects of their lives. The creators of the Daysteps Personal Lifestyle planner understood the feeling of being busy in our everyday lives and set out to help people find some balance in all the craziness. Here is some more about Daysteps from the website:

With Daysteps^TM your best day, every day is within reach. You can feel inspired and motivated, filled with anticipation for what the day holds.

The Daysteps^TM planner is different because it encompasses many key aspect of your life and is designed to motivate you to become the person you want to be; to feel calm and capable about carrying out your daily activities and reaching your intentions. Its unique features - monthly priorities; nutrition, water, sleep, and fitness trackers; 'Clear Your Head' pages; and 'Fill Your Heart' sections - help bring inspiration and balance into your life.

The planner helps you identify life priorities most important to you and remain focused on the journey toward fulfillment: one step at a time, one day at a time.

The choice of where to put your time and energy is truly yours. You have the power to create your best, most satisfying life and there are no limits to what you can do.

I received the January-June 2010 planner to review. It may sound crazy but as soon as I opened my planner it was like an old friend. I love everything about it (and I haven’t even used it yet)! Not only is there ample space for your appointments, practices, and important dates, but there is also a place for you to put your priorities and intentions for reaching your life goals. My favorite feature of the planner though would have to be the Fill Your Heart Pages; a place where you can list what you want for your life, your family, and others.
