Planning for something…
I’m typically horrible with new planners. I will say that I always buy them with the best of intentions. They’re pretty and functional and always make me feel as though I’m ready to accomplish something big. The big problem, however, is that I’m usually only diligent about using one for about a month before I start to forget and end up writing all of my ideas and things down on little pieces of paper. The pretty planner then falls by the wayside only to be rediscovered 3 weeks before the end of December, rendering the once useful collection of pages useless.
Enter Little Otsu. I popped into Eli Phant yesterday to say hello to owners Peter and Sally and laid eyes on this little gem:
Pretty, isn’t it? Here’s why I think that I’ll be more successful with my planner usage this year. This planner doesn’t have printed dates! You heard me right. Each week has a place for you to pick a month up top and a place to fill in the dates for each day of the week. If I do end up taking a ‘break’ from this planner, I get to pick right back up where I left off. It’s like it was made for me!!
I would highly recommend going to Little Otsu’s website to check out some of the other treats they’ve got for sale. They work with different artists, so there is a little something for everyone. Interestingly enough, I first learned about them while shopping around for online store platforms. I came across Shopify and Little Otsu was one of the examples. The site immediately caught my eye and has been bookmarked ever since. Just another reason why Eli Phant is becoming one of my favorite shops here in Portland. They’ve got excellent taste;).
Happy Saturday all!
