Last month I was sent a “My Daily Bubble” planner to try out and was skeptical at first. My thinking was “How can a planner like My Daily Bubble help me when writing my thoughts and ideas and things to do down on paper hasn’t helped me in the past”. And trust me, my mind is always going a mile a minute trying to remember everything that needs to get done. Sometimes I succeed in completing everything and sometimes I leave one important thing out, usually something I forgot to write down.
But the Bubble Planner has really simplified things for me. See below for the layout and then I will tell you how I use mine.
I write everything that I know I need to do during the day down on “My List” (on the right) and then transfer that all over into the bubbles. Best way to describe it is that say I have to make a phone call about computer work. I write down in one bubble the work I need to do then I draw a line to another bubble, connecting the two, with the person’s name and phone number I need to call. That way while doing the work I don’t forget to call the person. And I don’t have 2 different pieces of paper with information written on them to lose. Of course this is just the way I use it, you may have a different approach.
CHOP it down
One of the best ways to get control of your life is to break it down into manageable pieces. CHOP is an acronym for the contexts of your life: Computer Actions, Home Actions, Office Actions, and Phone Calls. When you subdivide your projects by defining the next physical action, you begin to take control. Having a sense of control will make you happier.
I couldn’t of said it better myself, and I am so happy to have had this company ask me to review this product because it has overall made my life so much easier. I HIGHLY recommend the My Daily Bubble as well as all Bubble Planner products to anyone wanting to gain a little more control over the hectic-ness we call life.

I use my Outlook calendar for everything to stay organized. It works great for me because I can sinc my cell phone into my calendar on the computer, so I’m always able to know what I have to do.
I use a little “notepad” on my Google home page for my To Do list and I often use index cards to make notes and lists that need to be portable. I really love the creativity with this system!

Right now I tape post its on my computer or stick them to my refrigerator as reminders. I could definitely use this organizer. Thanks for the chance.

I write myself notes about important things I need to do/remember and they end up all over the house and I forget to do things or lose the list I made. This would sure help me stay organized!

I need to write everything down to keep organized but often the notes to “myself” get scattered around. I could use something like this as I think making a physical, written note helps the mind latch on to a “reminder”

I have a planner with a calender in it that I have to check everyday sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. I write everything in it, this is the problem. It isn’t always organized and I tend to forget where I wrote something down. This bubble way looks great.

My organization technique needs some work. I have tried just about everything. I am considering going back to my online calendar but maybe this would work better for me.

I am organized for 1 month at a time. That probably sounds ridiculous, but I have one big wipeble calendar on my schoolroom door. It is large enough to hold i month on it with huge squares to put all four of my kids activities (daily) on, along with my husband’s and mine.
I also, have a notebook where I right a to do list, every night before bed, so that I can sleep better knowing everything I need to do tomorrow, is written where I can look at it the next day.

I have trouble staying organized–I am a visual spatial learner and think in pictures, I think the Bubble Planner could really help me keep up with my farm and six children and writing.
I TRY to stay organized with little lists all over – this would be awesome so I could get everything organized together – thanks!

I currently use a little leather notebook that I try and keep with me all the time to write down tasks I need to do. Still looking for something better! ~
Thanks!
I try to stay organized with a planner because I have so many doctor appointments so I have to write them all down. It is OK, but I have so many other things I need to do that get written down on little pieces of paper and it is not a very good system. I really need help in this area!!!

This is such a neat product…I have major problems with staying organized. I am a Post-It note freak, but it’s getting out of control. I obviously don’t have a system, but the Bubble Planner looks like all I need to have everything in one place!

I am all about lists. The problem is, they are scattered around my house and half the time I can’t find the one I am looking for. So, this would help me keep it organized.

This would definitely help me while planning my errands for the day, and drawing lines from one bubble to the next to make my trips more efficient and not backtracking time & time again like I often do now!

My good intentions at organization have failed miserably. I’d love to give this a try as I am a stickler for writing everything down. I do everything else on the computer but refuse to put my To Do lists on there, somehow it’s quite different to check off a completed job with a pen.

I stay organized by using Excel for all my lists, the only con is that I’m not always in front of my computer!
I use a lot of post-it notes to help myself stay organized. Needless to say, sometimes it can be overwhelming with scraps of paper everywhere!

I try not to keep a lot of clutter. I’ve found that a mess around me tends to make me unfocused.

Every month or so, I reorganize by using a spreadsheet on the ‘puter. Meh. It sometimes works. Sometimes not. I’d love to try this.
