Welcome to the Monthly Motivation Link Up! This is where we come together the last weekend of the month to share motivation for the following month. Anything marriage, family and fitness goes- so come along and join us!
I wanted to share about a tool that I have been using this month to really motivate me. It is the Passion Planner. I saw a video for it on KickStart back in November or December. Since I am a planner kind of gal I loved the concept of this planner. It was a planner, journal, goal setting tool and more all in one place. Exactly what I needed seeing how I have notebooks, journals, planners, and sticky notes scattered everywhere with all my to do’s and ideas.
The Passion Planner starts out with an exercise where you brain storm all the things you want to accomplish short and long term. Then, you break them down into monthly and weekly tasks. If you stay on target and do your tasks you will accomplish a ton! An additional thing I like about the planner is at the end of each month it has a reflection portion where you recall what worked and what needs to change the following month.
Being a wife, new mom, business owner, blogger and athlete I stay pretty busy. The Passion Planner has allowed me to prepare, spend my time wisely and stay motivated so I can do things that matter!
This post is in NO WAY sponsored or endorsed by Passion Planner. I just love the product so much! You can ask Ryan, I was like a kid waiting for Christmas morning to get my planner. However, if you decide to get a Passion Planner would you kindly put my email address (TrueAgapeOnline@gmail.com) as the referral email? I could possibly get a free one to giveaway here on the blog!
The Passion Planner is one thing that has been motivating me the past month, but there also were some great posts from our last link up that has helped me through February as well. So lets take a look at them…

20 Marriage Lessons from the First Year of Marriage
Number 8 is a must! It has taken me awhile to figure this one out. I don’t think some people understand the importance of #15.
The Magic Eye of Marriage
By: Shel Harrington
I for sure grew up looking at a ton of Magic Eyes and even had some hanging on my wall. I loved the metaphor she used here about the Magic Eye and marriage!
Wonderful planner, especially great for so many areas of my life. Because my life is multi-passionate/multi-potentialite, I am full of ideas 24 hours a day =) I love that this one has a brainstorming section. Lovee!
It is a great one! I like how it has a list where you put things into priority and a space for personal to dos and work to dos. It really is awesome!
I have not used Passion Planner before but I will be checking it out. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.
After a year of blogging, I finally embraced the idea of an editorial calendar – which sounded a tad stuffy for my taste early on – and have no regrets as I start my third year! I use sticky notes in it that I can shift as my plan shifts. I’ll have to check out the Passion Planner for “next season” – it sound right up my list-making alley!
Thank you both for featuring my post from our last linkup – much appreciated!
Shel- I am quit organized in general, but for blogging I never knew what I was going to do more than a week ahead of time. Not with guest posts and sponsored posted I have to be a bit better when it comes to an editorial calendar. I typcally plan out a quarter of the year at a time with flexibility of course. But this is REALLY helpful in the writing department for me. I never am like, “Oh no, what am I going to write about for next week!” But the Passion Planner really works for everything for me. I love it!
