Reasons why you need a belle de jour power planner for 2021

Belle de Jour Power Planner

Have you ever felt your 2020 planner was a waste because of the pandemic?  Does the uncertainty of 2021 makes you think if you will ever need a planner?

Using a planner makes it easier to schedule events, appointments, tasks, and personal errands to manage time effectively. The different levels of community quarantine implemented in the last six months has limited our activities. In my case, the last work-related event I attended was a day before the ECQ took place. That was in March. You might conclude my planner has nothing written on it since then. But it's not empty. A belle de jour power planner is more than just a logbook of schedules.

If you feel like you haven't lived your life to the fullest this year, here are the reasons why you need a belle de jour power planner for 2021.


ikigai

It helps you discover your purpose

What is your reason for getting up every morning? The challenges presented by the pandemic has somehow made you question your purpose in life. 

  • Are you doing something that you love?
  • Are you doing something that the world needs?
  • Are you doing something that you are good at?
  • Are you doing something that you can get paid for?
If you answered YES to all the questions, you have found your ikigai. Ikigai is the Japanese formula for a happy, fulfilling life.  The belle de jour planner can guide you in discovering your purpose in life.

 

mental health

It helps you pursue inner peace

Our mental health affects how we think, feel, act , and cope when faced with the normal everyday situation. A poor mental health can influence our ability to enjoy life.  The social and economic pressure can send us off track. The belle de jour planner has provided activities that will help you pursue inner peace.


positivity

It helps you influence positivity

Staying at home has probably made you spend more time online. Sadly, there's too much negativity on social media. The things we read and see online have impact on us. Instead of absorbing the negativity of the people you interact with, use the platform to spread positivity. List on your belle de jour planner the people who inspire you to be positive or write quotes that inspire optimism.


cash flow tracker

It helps you manage your finances

The economy suffered because of the pandemic. Even the people who have emergency funds are now making lifestyle adjustments in order to make ends meet. Those who are not financially literate have suffered the most. May this serve as a valuable lesson for all of us by being aware of how we spend our money. 

I'm an accountant by profession. The bill tracker and cash flow tracker are my favorite features of the belle de jour planner. It is so simple anyone can effectively use it to monitor and manage their finances.


checklist

It has a checklist to help you live your life to the fullest

Ticking off an item from a checklist gives us a sense of achievement. The 2021 checklist provided by belle de jour also helps you become a better version of yourself to make you live your life to the fullest. The difference categories create a perfect balance on all aspect of your life.

2019 Belle de Jour Power Planner Review

Wednesday, October 24


Consider me old fashioned but I really prefer the traditional way of organizing my life. I tried this year using the calendar of my iPad to plot my events schedule and yet I always find myself checking my planner. I remember what I write with a pen rather than what I type. 

I've been using the Belle de Jour Power Planner since 2014. It was my sister who gave me my first BDJ planner as a Christmas gift in 2013. At first, I was just excited with the discount coupons.  When I started getting serious with blogging in 2014 and attended events, I appreciated the planner more than the coupons.

If you haven't tried using the planner yet, here's a peek of the 2019 Belle de Jour Power Planner.


For 2019, I'll be using the Belle de Jour Limited Edition cover. My first planner had the classic cover while I had the succeeding planners personalized. I find this year's limited edition design elegant. But what I fell in love with is the butterfly. For me it symbolizes change and hope.


I'm positive that 2019 is a better year for me. Well, 2018 so far is good. But I know there's so much in store for me.


One of my favorite features of the Belle de Jour Planner is the Checklist. It got me through the tough times before when I felt like my life was dull. It challenged me, motivated me, made me get off the couch!

The 3 highlighted items on the 2019 checklist gave me goosebumps. During the weekend launch (this deserves a separate article) I attended the Vision Board Workshop with Trixie Esguerra and these three items are pasted on my board. Looks like the universe know what I really want to do!

Hey, I won't wait for 2019 to tick off the list. I have already started the moment I received the planner. 


Notice something new on the monthly divider? Hmm, get your phone and download the Zappar app. See the logo on the lower right? Your planner will magically become interactive (coming soon!). There's a zapper logo also on the back cover. High-tech, huh!


I want to be more productive in 2019 (raket pa more!) and I look forward to filling up the blank spaces. 


Getting busy means more moolah so the cash flow tracker comes handy.  It also means I'll be forgetful (I did forget to pay a few bills on due date this year)... bills tracker to the rescue!


Girls, is it just me or you also tend to forget when you had your period? This is important whether you are trying to get (or not) pregnant, planning a vacation or simply monitoring for health reasons.

And here's the #PerksOfABella booklet....


P40,000 worth of treats and discounts are included in the Perks of a Bella coupon booklet. I've used up the CBTL, Parisian, Ace Water Spa and Celeteque from previous years. Make sure you always bring the booklet anywhere you go.

Yey! You made it to this part of the article.

How To Start Your Monday Right

Monday, July 27




We always see facebook posts of people who can't wait for Friday to come and dread the idea of Monday. Shouldn't we be thankful for Mondays? Wouldn't it be great to start the week with a positive attitude? 

I opened my Belle de Jour Power Planner this morning to pen my schedule for August (yeah, usually a week advance) and update the list for this week. I woke up today with a bad headache carried over from yesteday. I wanna be cranky but then I read this when I opened Week 31..

"I can be in a good mood or in a bad mood.
The choice is always mine."


What's your choice?
