Muji Planner 2020 - Minimalist & Functional Planner for Moms

3:17 AM

Taking care of the kids and juggling work on a daily basis is crazy! Trying to manage your schedule, your kid's schedule, tasks, work, errands, and check-ups while having two or more kids is difficult! There are school activities every 3 months. Dentist appointments every 6 months. Monthly Bills. OB-Gyne appointments. MEAL PLANS! Monthly reports! I even ask myself about some random things like: When was the last time we cleaned the ref? When was the last time my child was sick?

This is why moms need planners!

We need planners not just to organize our lives, but also relieve ourselves from the constant mental load that we carry every day.

CHOOSING A PLANNER

For the past years, I've been jumping from one planner to another - trying to look for my "planner peace". I've tried Happy Planner, Hobonichi, Bullet Journal, Generic Planner and Starbucks Planner, but none of them has checked all the features that I want to have in a planner. Personally, I want something that is functional, easy-to-carry, has high-quality paper and lots of writing space.

Luckily, I found out about Muji Planner through YoutTube, just a few days before 2019 ended. I immediately browsed through Shopee and bought one for myself. Finally, I've decided to go with Muji B6 Planner with Horizontal Weekly Spread.

Why Muji 2020 B6 Planner with Horizontal Weekly Spread is perfect for moms?

✔ COMPACT, THIN AND EASY TO CARRY

I find that paper planners are a more polite way to take down notes while talking to someone or in a meeting, so I need to make sure that I have my planner with me all the time. Because the B6 planner has a dimension of 5 in. x 7 in., it perfectly fits inside a Jujube Large Set piece. You can easily bring it wherever you go!

✔ SPACIOUS MONTHLY AND WEEKLY SPREADS

Muji Planner has dedicated monthly pages for tracking 13 months of planning, 60 weekly spreads and extra grid pages that can be used for bullet journaling. Like I said, this planner is very minimal yet versatile. This is perfect for those who loves straightforward planners and don't like extra unnecessary pages. While for those who love stickers and fancy pens, like me, this planner is still perfect for you too! You can easily decorate the pages to showcase your creativity and also a fun way to stress-relief.
