I have a planner for balancing my work, and balancing my life. I specifically put in cute stickers, use pretty colors, and leave myself notes such as "Dream big!" and "You're worth it!"

I also specifically restrict how much space lists work appointments. This is to remind myself that work is only a part of my day, not my whole life. I don't use a day planner that lists time slots so that work doesn't take it over.

I actually use the planner put out by Sarah's Scribbles. If you google it, you'll find pictures.
