I love the beginning of a brand new year and even though things have gotten off to a slow start for me in 2014, I’m here and I’m ready to get on track! I couldn’t get organized without my handy Life Planner and today I’m going to share a quick peek inside Crystal Wilkerson’s new 2014 design! Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of this post for the chance to win your own planner!




This will be the second year I’ve used Crystal’s planner, you can read more about my 2013 planner here. I love Crystal’s darling style, the fun colours and the way this planner focuses on so much more than just calendars and to-do lists! I’m sharing just a few images of the inside workings of the planner – for a detailed list of the pages included in the 2014 planner + prices go here.
There are for main sections in the planner – Time Management, Relationships, Thoughts and Energy. Within each of these sections there are subsections and various pages to help you record things like your weekly menu plan, keep an exercise journal, record special conversations and moments with loved ones and much, much more! I am always jotting down the cute little things my kids say and I love that I have a place right in my planner to do that. 
Crystal has done a great job at familiarizing you with the inner workings of the planner on her blog, including this short video that shows each section in the planner page by page. She’s also shared this blog post that gives printing instructions, this one that tells you how to put together your page tabs and this one that shows everything that’s included with the planner one year pass. 

The 2014 Life Planner is currently only available in 5.5″ X 8.5″ mini binder size, which is my favourite , because it is so portable and doesn’t take up a lot of room on my desk or countertop.

Supplies you’ll need to put together your 2014 Life Planner:

-printer
-white mini binder with clear front pocket
-white card stock or photo paper for section pages + tabs
-bright white printer paper for planner pages 
-5.5″ X 8.5″ page protectors
-hole punch
The Put God First Section of the planner
The “Put God First” section of the binder is incredible and can be added to your main planner binder as its own section or I really like what Crystal did in that she made it it’s own separate binder. It’s more of a spiritual journal and it’s so great! You can see everything from the “Put God First” section right here.
2014 Life Planner One Year Pass

You can purchase Crystal’s planner in her new digital shop here. I really love that you can purchase each page of the planner separately. You can customize your planner how you’d like it by purchasing just the sections/pages you know you’ll use.

Another option when purchasing the planner is the One Year Pass. I like this option as well because it gives you access EVERY page that Crystal has designed so far AND anything that she adds to the planner throughout the year. I’m really looking forward to adding her Blogger, Budgeting, Holiday and Special events sections to my planner as they become available.  Watch this short video to learn all about the One Year Pass.

Important to note:

When you purchase the “One Year Pass”, you will NOT receive an instant download.  You will receive an email with a PDF file that has your personal coupon code on it.  You can then use that coupon code as many times as you want through the end of 2014 to purchase anything in Crystal’s Life Planner section.  Just add whatever you want to the cart & then use the coupon code to get it for free.

  51. I love the blog section. I blog for fun and it’s gotten really sporadic. I have good ideas sometimes and it leaves my brain before I can put it into action, so having a set place to keep that organized would be perfect!

  52. I feel like I need help organizing every part of my life, but my schedule is always changing and I forget too many things. I would love one of these planners 🙂

  53. I know I’d do better if I kept everything in one spot instead of to-do lists all around the house (and in my head). I love the simple white space and colors. Thanks!

  55. I love the Put God First section – between my personal Bible study, the women’s group Bible study I attend, sermon notes, and prayer lists, that would be a great way to keep it all organized.

  60. I missed this giveaway last year because I wasn’t following you yet, nor had I heard of this planner yet. I am so thrilled to have a chance to win this year! I want to be more organized with my intentional living. Not just writing a list, but sitting down daily to evaluate where I am in each aspect of my life (health, work, blogging, etc.)

  65. Juggling a preschooler and working from home I have struggled to find a planner that is flexible enough for both aspects of our lives. I would love this to keep our home life a little more organised

  67. Transitioning from a working outside of the home to now a full-time stay at home mom, I would like to obtain a balance between relationships, my children’s development, and my self-development. Feeling a bit overwhelmed and less fulfilled since I don’t have a clear outline of how to manage all this while nurturing the needs of my children.

  104. The planner is amazing; I love that it has a section to jot down the cute things kids did that day. I currently have been keeping those in a separate journal; but how nice to have it in one place!!! 🙂 With our fifth baby due in June, I still would like to get organized by clearing out unnecessary stuff in one area so my “systems” can function more properly!!!

  115. I don’t know if this is a duplicate … I don’t understand the rafflecopter thing… but I love the planner and could really use something like that to get organized in all areas of life. My spiritual life would benefit as I really like that part. I need to get organized in every area !!!

  128. Too difficult to choose only one area I would like to organize! I would have to say recording my teenagers quotes and comments…I always think I’m going to remember them but I know better!

  145. I have yet to purchase a 2014 planner for the simple fact that rarely anything I find includes all the things I need. This would fit the bill now that I’m a SAHM 🙂
