Life Is Messy Planner Pages Review And Giveaway

This past week, I was searching for downloadable planning sheets. There is nothing wrong with what I used last year, but I always like to start fresh. I like to look at new things. It helps me think differently and be inspired.

In my search, not only did I find fabulous planning pages, but I found a blog that was new and inspiring as well! Heartmadeblog.com is the website of creative coach, designer, artist, cupcake addict Mayi Carles. Within all the wonders this superwoman is doing, I discovered Mayi’s “Life Is Messy Planner Pages”. These pages are custom made by Mayi to not only plan the days, but plan the future. They were designed for the creative person who wants to do great things.

Mayi was gracious enough to let me get my hands on some of her pages. This one was my favorite.


This page struck me because it wasn’t the basic wish list of what you’d like to accomplish. It breaks down your main goal into not just what you want, but why you want it. Isn’t the “why” what its all about anyway?

Also included in this planning page set:

- a weekly blog planner (.pdf)
- a weekly meal planner (.pdf)
- a monthly action planner (.pdf)
- a monthly blog planner (.pdf)
- a goal generator (.pdf)
- a resolution board + tracker (.pdf)
- a bullet proof your goals worksheet (.pdf)
- a 2011 earning goals spreadsheet (.xls)
- a 2011 investment spreadsheet (.xls)

Life Is Messy Planning pages are complete and different. Would you like a set of your own? Mayi has been so generous and is giving a set of her planning pages to one The Creative Mama reader – a $20 value. Just leave a comment and tell us why you need these pages! The winner will be chosen at random on Thursday, January 13th.

If you just can’t wait to get your hands on these pages or want to buy them for a friend, head over to Heartmadeblog.com or her gorgeous etsy shop and download them right now!

    Oh I drool! I LOVE all things having to do with organization, and this would totally rock my socks!

  • Helen Henrichs

    These are AWESOME. I don’t have any thing messier than anyone else to speak of but it’s pretty messy for me. One very rambunctious little girl, one full time job, launching my own business, church responsibilities, trying to be a good friend, etc etc. These would be such a huge help!

  • jamie

    my brain is overwhelmed with all the things i want to accomplish in 2011. this would be a fabulous place to write it all down! thank you for the generous giveaway!

  • http://kristinsnotes.wordpress.com Kristin

    I’m working on beefing up my organization in 2011 so these would be perfect!

  • http://the-old-nichols-farm.blogspot.com Jess

    These would be wonderful to have. I’ve been looking for a planner for this year… but to have something that pushes me creatively, rather than just a plain old planner, well… that would be awesome.

  • Shannon Dodge

    My BIGGEST goal for this year is to GET ORGANIZED. Both personally and with my business. Two kids 4 years and under tend to make things messy. Love this idea!

  • Susan Coonan

    I would love to see my life, actions, needs and goals written somewhere that I could actually make sense and then ACCOMPLISH!
    Thank you for the opportunity to make it happen!
    I enjoy your blog and appreciate all the time and energy you put into your heart’s desire.

    This is the year. Officially starting my portrait business–on top of my full-time job. Add in managing a house and three kiddos… life is messy!!

  • Angel

    These would be outstanding for me a busy mom of two active boys who is trying to figure out where to go with my career plan. I would to use the goal setting pages to help me figure out who I am and where I am going.

  • Tara

    I would love these pages! One of my goals in 2011 is to be more organized :)

  • Ellen Wade

    These are a-mazing. In the midst of teaching, planning a wedding, leading the children’s ministry at my church and being ridiculously ADD, these would be oh, so good!

    I would love these pages to help this messy mind get organized! Woohoooo….

    I found Mayi’s blog a few months ago – it’s awesome, and so is she!

    I need these planners so I can write everything in one place! in the last week I’ve brainstormed my goals for the year several times, and lost.every.single.page. (with the help of children) – my biggest goal for the year is getting myself organised, and planners would help!

  • Marcy

    I need these perfect planning pages because this is MY year! The year I fianlly stick to my goals. The year I cut down on clutter and find those things I waste time looking for that I know are “somewhere”. The year I find a place for everything and keep everything in it’s place. The year I get to enjoy more me time because I’m dealing with those obstacles that take up too much time. But in order to accomplish all this, I need a new. fresh planner, for my (not so) new, but definately, accomplishable goals. Thanks for the chance to win!

  • Rebecca

    I love these pages because they involve a journaling of sorts, which are handwritten. In this age of smartphones, iPads, etc., I miss seeing my goals and achievements written down(with a good old-fashioned pen), checked off and to have a lasting imprint to look back on at the end of the year. I love how these are categorized, and with three children ages 3 and under, “I want” these planning pages, “I want them so badly” to get organized and “I can do it” because they are so beautifully laid out!

  • http://www.michellesmithphotographer.com Michelle

    I need these amazing planning pages because my whole family wants me to find some sort of balance with all the hats I wear. Of course, I’m convinced that “balance” is less attainable than a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but they want me to be balanced, nonetheless! Thank you!!

  • http://iseelifethroughalens.blogspot.com/ kristi

    I need these pages because I need some structure and motivation in my life right now to simplify. Also with number 4 on the way…it would be awesome to have some order in our chaotic lives. :)
