Planners are often used as a way to keep one's day organized and productive. If you are new to using planners and not so sure on how to make the most use out of your planner, you may be confused but here is a comprehensive and simple guide for it!
Organize your planners by writing down dates in your monthly section and then add weekly section after that. In your monthly section, write down dates that do not change such as birthdays, holidays and anniversaries. For dates that may change in the future, you can use an erasable pen to write down the original dates first. You can also use a pen in a different color to highlight those dates. If there is an event happening over a period of time, you can use a highlighter to highlight the days that the events are happening. It is then easier to see the important dates or big events happening over a period of time.
You can use the weekly section to write down your to-do lists for each day. You can divide your to-do lists to different sections such as academic, personal and work. If you have meetings that you have set up through your phone or computer, write down the dates and times of the meetings as well as the purpose.
For your daily pages, you can write a more in depth descriptions of your to-do lists. It can also go down to your morning routines or what outfit to wear for that day. You can also plan out your day by planning what you are doing for every hour of that day. This allows you to manage your time more efficiently. Designate break times throughout your day!
