Filofax Pretties: How Useful is a Monthly Planner?

I currently use a monthly planner and also a weekly planner. I know there are some people who find that using both renders one of them obsolete but I find it so handy to have both. I use my monthly planner to write down plans that are happening well into the future and to keep track of birthdays and special dates. I also get my work hours for the month so it's nice to have them written down in one place where I can just look at it in one go. Hence why it's called month at a glance!

I almost never write anything directly on the page. There's this wonderful thing called washi tape and it's re-positionable so if a plan changes I can just lift it up and move it to where it needs to be. If a shift at work gets changed, I can just peel it off, chuck it in the bin and write a new one. It's so much nicer than crossing things out or using correction tape. It makes my heart happy because everything looks so much neater.

 It's also cool because you can do so much lovely colour coordinating and who doesn't love that. I love my monthly planner probably more than my weeklies because it lets me see into the future. Don't give up on monthly planners, just learn to love them!
