In February I announced that I'm going to create some free, custom planning or organization related printables for the blog! Organization and design are two of my biggest passions, and I've been really excited to get this collaboration started.
Ready to get organized?
Reader Design Partner: Amanda from Apple Blue
Her Request: “This year is going to be a crazy one, working on opening my brick-and-mortar shop, juggling writing gigs and making time to pursue that weeks passions. I tend to break my day (and my life, really) into three parts. DO, DREAM, and CREATE. The DO part of my days are spent with my current responsibilities and duties, DREAM is the time I take to invest in future things I want to see happen and CREATE is the time I make for things that are creatively fulfilling to me like sewing or browsing Pinterest. I’d love to have a planner that breaks the days down into three groups like that so I can be visually aware of whether or not I’m making time for all those things.”
The Results: A weekly planner that breaks the days of the week down into three categories: Do, Dream & Create. Amanda sent me design inspiration that referenced old fashioned stationary, and simple bold design typography that still left enough room to be creative.

Yay! I’m so looking forward to it!
I would love one with the background shaded in certain colours that indicate its time for general activities like working out, but then you can write the details over top. A colour for food/water, different shades for different work related tasks maybe. I got the idea from your blog about time batching!! A daily maybe where Mondays are shaded a certain way and Tuesdays another…I know you would make it functional and gorgeous!
Congratulations, Marie Anne, you won the design of planner #3! I’ll be in touch with you in the next day or two so we can work on the design together :)
Hi there!
I’m new to your site and actually stumbled upon it because of your planners! I’ve been in search of the perfect planner for months to no avail. I own my own boutique, just launched a new blog (www.pamelapetrus.com), am currently working on my Real Estate license, and have a million and one things to handle on the personal front. Needless to say, I need an awesome way to keep track of all of these things! I would absolutely love to have something custom made to fit my needs and keep track of my crazy lifestyle. =)
Mapping out time during your day to create and to dream. Love, love, love!
I’ve always loved your designs, and this one is no exception!
I’d love to have a planner that incorporates family and being a mom – chores, meals, etc.
Gorgeous design. I love it.
It would be awesome to have a planner that includes things like the meal plan for the day, the workout plan for the day and then the me (or me + hubby) time! I hand write it into the one I have now but to have a place that actually forces me to write it down would do wonders for me, I think!
I made a planner based off your Moleskine tutorial and love it! The only thing it is missing is a way to track my anxiety and inspire me to take care of myself. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to work that into my weekly schedule while still staying organized and leaving enough room for everything else. Luckily I only draw out my schedule a month at a time so I can make improvements if need be.
Planners! There’s something about them that gets me all excited. And customized ones? Whooo! :) I definitely could use one that helps me keep track of work, my daughter’s therapy sessions (she’s deaf), my mini projects and daily chores. Yes, I need to keep track all of that!
Planners rule the world!:)
I need something that I can use at work (for work projects) and on leisure time to keep track of blog and photography projects.
Yay! Planners!
This gets me all dorkcited.
It would be amazing to receive a Kyla-designed piece! :) I’m constantly on the search for the perfect planner, and am a paper gal through & through. My perfect planner would encompass the following:
+ A place to keep track of the many tasks & appointments for my job
+ A place to brainstorm monthly & weekly personal goals
+ A place to write a short blurb about the day, like a mini-journal
+ A place to list items to accomplish (both productive & restorative) over the weekend
As far as aesthetics go, I’m a big fan of stripes (especially chevron), polka dots, bold floral patterns, and rich colors (i.e. turquoise, mustard, purple, dark magenta).
I’m leaving my job this year to go travelling around the world for 6 months and basically live the dream :) I’m in complete planning mode for that now (which is pretty fun too!) and it would be so awesome to have a way of tracking expenditure on the road to make sure I’m staying within budget on a week by week basis as well as record some notes from the road. Just because I’m living out of a backpack, doesn’t mean I can’t still be super organised :)
Congratulations, Natalie! You won the planner #2- I’ll be in touch with you by email in the next few days so we can get designing :)
I’d love to have a printable organiser from you Kyla – your designs are lovely.
I’d love to have a wall planner for medium to long term goals for my blog and my store.
That would be awesome! I love all things pale green and blue :)
