So for those of us that are type A, you probably already have a planner.  This year, I've been using Erin Condren's ridiculously cool Life Planner (in leopard, of course) and I find that it just makes my day a little bit better when I write inside of it.  Want one?  Erin's having a big PRE-SALE!  Get 25% off by entering PLAN25 at checkout.
