Happy Saturday! Today I am excited to bring you another #PlanWithPolishland post featuring my Erin Condren Life Planner. Every Life Planner comes with a Perpetual Calendar, which is a little book with a line for every day of the year. The calendar was originally designed to mark down birthdays, anniversaries, and other dates that reoccur every year. That way, you can mark down these special days once in your Perpetual Calendar and carry it in your planner from year to year. I wanted to put my Perpetual Calendar to use, but I didn’t think its traditional purpose would work for me. Let me go ahead and show you how I’m using the Erin Condren Perpetual Calendar, and share some other ideas I have with you!
Here is a quick peek at the Perpetual Calendar. You can find it in the Keep it Together folder at the back of your Erin Condren Life Planner. I love this year’s cute design, and was inspired by the “Celebrate Someone or Something Everyday,” headline. I’ve decided to use my Perpetual Calendar as a happiness journal, in which I write down one thing every day, no matter how big or small, that made me happy. Here is a peek inside my journal for the month of June – I started as soon as my Erin Condren order arrived!
I really like how my happiness journal is turning out, and you can definitely feel free to use your Perpetual Calendar in the same way. I often see people in the We Love EC group on Facebook asking others for inspiration on how to use the calendar, so I thought I would share some more ideas with you. Let’s jump right in!
- Gratitude Journal
- Fitness Journal / Meal Planner / Weight Tracker
- Quote Journal
- Reading List
- Weather Log
- Budget Book
- Fun & Silly Holidays (i.e. National Donut Day)
- Top News Story of the Day
- Song of the Day List
- Cleaning Log / Chore List
- …any combination of the above!
These are just some of the ways you can put your Erin Condren Perpetual Calendar to use! I hope these gave you a bit of inspiration. Even if you don’t use any of these ideas, perhaps they helped you think of another use for your Perpetual Calendar. I’m really loving my happiness journal, but maybe that’s not the right system for you, and that’s okay! Find what works, and don’t be afraid to experiment! If you’d like to get a Perpetual Calendar separate from the Life Planner, they are only $5 on the Erin Condren website!

Show me how you use your Perpetual Calendar with the hashtag #PlanWithPolishland! You can also follow my NEW planner Instagram @PlanWithPolishland HERE.
I absolutely love this idea! I already have one Perpetual Calendar from this year’s planner, and I was wondering just what I was going to do with another one when I order my planner for next year.
How many passwords does this book have space for?
There are 9 dedicated password spaces in this Perpetual Calendar.
I use it as my workout planner. I write all my planned workouts in pencil with a hand drawn line down the right side of the page for space to write calories burned and workout length. After I complete my workout, I write it in ink. I love this book because it keeps an entire year of my workouts in a very small booklet, rather than printing out full page monthly calendars.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing, Dawn!
