FranklinCovey’s Jean Chatzky Collection

We’ve released a new round of products from FranklinCovey, updated a bit based on your feedback.  The basics, though, remain the same – the products are stylish and functional, and can assist you in meeting not only your organizational needs, but your financial goals as well.

The new line features totes – I haven’t stopped carrying the leather tote since it came in. With a ton of well-designed pockets, it’s perfect for everything I have to schlep around, my laptop included. There are also leather wallets (pictured below) and card cases.  The regular wallet includes a mirror, so you can check your lipstick, of course, but also so you can look yourself in the eyes before buying something you don’t need.  In the wallets, you’ll find the five questions I think we should all ask ourselves before swiping our plastic, plus a place to keep your cards, cash, coins and ID.

We’ve also added some very useful organizational items, highlights of which appear after the jump.  You can view all available items and purchase everything at the Jean Chatzky Collection section on the FranklinCovey site.

The Monthly Budget Kit is a great tool for keeping a handle on your monthly spending.  For each month, there’s a tracking sheet and pockets for bills and receipts, along with room for notes and reminders.

The Plan, Budget, Save, Notepad helps you plan and shop for meals.  The magnetic notepad has space for a weekly menu on one side and a grocery list on the other.  There’s room to note if you have coupons and track how much you’re spending while you shop.  And you get my practical budgeting tips.

The Worth Noting Notebook has four sections to help you keep track of projects, notes, and family member’s activities – whatever you decide.  It really helps you organize your tasks and get more done.
