I won’t tell you what happened. Actually I will. Of course I was going to. That’s what I do.
So let me tell you. I was feeling a little ‘tight’ having overspent over the past few months and I found a planner on amazon, it answered all my questions. It had everything I needed and a little bit more.
I just forgot to check the date. Yup I did that! So I ended up with the planner of my dreams for 2021!
I mean I don’t understand why they were selling that in the first place? who buys planner for years that have gone past? Where is the logic?
But never mind, I got it right the second time round. This year because I’m in my 40’s and a little in denial, and hate the fact that I’m officially an ‘Aunt’ to 20 year olds ( and sometimes even 30 year olds!) I got myself a planner called

‘Girl Gotta Change’ Because this ‘Girl/Aunt/ Women in 40s going through a midlife crisis’ is changing!
You want to see it? Of course you do. So do I!
Lets do it!
Having used the fox planner for 2 years, which I absolutely loved by the way (hence the 2 years) I just fancied a little change, something to disrupt the normality. And its quite hard, because I had to look for what I used in the fox planner most and make sure that its available in the new one.
For me I need a month view, I need a weekly view, appointments, birthday and a little mood tracker.

And Girl Gotta Change has it all plus more…
I loved the habit tracker which covers 3 months. I will probably use this for my prayers, as I really need to focus on that more.

The 3 month check in is super cool- it’ll help me keep aligned to my goals
With age comes wisdom, with wisdom comes self healing, with self healing comes a time where you have to learn to put yourself first, and the mood tracker is a gift in this diary. As I’m going through my self- awareness era I want to be able to keep a closer eye on my moods and triggers and I love that this has a section which I can dedicate to my mood swings. I also bought a few stickers off amazon- I mean we all love our emojis right?


I loved that it has colour, All my diaries although may have been bright and colourful on the outside, the insides was always black and white. This gives it a little more energy with the colours.
I also brought the highlighters that girl gotta change sell, I loved the pastel colours that they have, It’ll be a nice change for the bright pink, orange, and blue that I have used for years before. Also how flipping pretty are they?

And stickers! Obviously I need stickers, that’s another thing I always look for when choosing planners, I love all that, it brings out the little child in me who waited for the dentist to give a sticker after the appointment. (Do they still do that?)

I’ve already started filling out my planner, and the year hasn’t started yet.
I love the look, I prefer the list look to the diary type look, ( I think, maybe later on in the year I might decide differently but for now this is appealing to me.)

and I always need a few pages at the back for my bucket list and scribblers, although compared to all other planners the girl gotta change has less blank pages. All in all I don’t really use it all that much, so it should be sufficient, but its just nice knowing I can have more.
So to 2024- this girl is gotta change.
