<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">I have the iPhone and the calendar app is handy for everyday things&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">Like I mentioned before&comma; I keep separate calendars for work and personal items&period; So for my everyday personal and family stuff I use my calendar app on my phone&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">But I don&&num;8217&semi;t just willy-nilly add stuff on days&period; I color code everything&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">I have a different color for everyone and different items&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">For example&comma; my kids things like school stuff or birthday parties I have colored as purple&period; My husbands work schedule and work events I have as yellow&period; Paydays I have as green&comma; bills and monthly expenses I have as orange&comma; my personal stuff for just myself I have as blue&comma; etc&period; You get my point&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">Color coding everything has been great because I can plug in &&num;8220&semi;Bring fundraiser money&&num;8221&semi; in purple and I know that is a kid school thing&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">Another great tip and tool I use is the shared calendar function in the app&period; So for example&comma; things I need my husband to have on his calendar too I put in a colored shared calendar&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">For example&comma; the purple kids calendar items I have listed as a shared calendar therefore whenever I add something that involves the kids&comma; it will automatically get added to his calendar in his app too and notify him of it&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">No more <em>&&num;8220&semi;I didn&&num;8217&semi;t know&&num;8221&semi;<&sol;em> excuses ladies&excl; This is a life changer&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">So between the color coding and shared folders in the calendar app I really don&&num;8217&semi;t use a physical planner currently for my personal stuff&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">I just use one for my work stuff so I can write it down and keep things separate&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"has-medium-font-size">These are the three main best planner for moms that I have personally used and loved&period; Hopefully these gave you some different options to try and find out which planner fits best for your life&period;&NewLine;
