![]() Pick the top habit or habits you are working towards and track those in your planner daily. I also love using habit trackers in my planners, and some are even coming with them incorporated in now. Speaking of routines and habits, a great way to plan for those would be a reminder in your planner for your morning routine, cleaning routine, evening routine, etc… there’s no need to write out your routine daily but just having a place to check it off can help you to be consistent. You can easily map out important dates or due dates for things once a week, then fill in your to-do list on a day to day basis. I also like to plan a time on Sunday evening to sit down and get all of my plans in order for the upcoming week. Do you look at your planner while you have your coffee or do you review it at the end of the day, before you go to bed? Whichever works best for you, stick with that so that you can make planning a habit. Now, the next step to actually planning and having your planner keep you organized is using it daily and creating a routine around your planning. I know mine like to wait until the night before to tell me that they need money for xyz and I have to make a late night run to get some cash. It’s a great place to write down all of the special school events if you have kids. I like to use my monthly layout for keeping track of important dates and important events I have to remember. A lot of time this is blank or people will ask what they should track there. ![]() Most planners will come with a monthly views, even if they also have weekly or daily planning pages. A great way to get inspiration for your specific planner or layout is to search by hashtags on Instagram and see what people are doing with similar planners. The horizontal planner layout might be the most tricky to determine how to divide up, but I have seen some really creative ideas. You can also ignore the time blocks, but I think most people that purchase an hourly planner are really looking to organize their daily schedule down to the hour. With a planner layout that is broken down by hour, such as the hourly layout Erin Condren or the Daily Duo planner, this part is already decided for you, you’ll map your tasks out by time of day using the time blocks that are included. You could give each section a purpose- such as a to-do list for one, appointments and important tasks for another, or you could divide them by time of day- think Morning, Afternoon, and Evening. If you are using the common vertical planner today, like the Happy Planner or Erin Condren vertical, they are usually organized with three vertical sections. ![]() Now, how you write in your planner and physically organize it will vary greatly, depending on if you have a monthly, weekly, or daily planner, and what layout your planner was designed in- I.E. Now, if you’ve already chosen your planner you can skip right past all of that and get into how to use the planner you have. This is the best way to start, and once you’ve nailed down your planning system you can get into how your planning will look in your daily life. Do you want a planner you can add sections to, or a pre-bound planner that’s on a spiral like a notebook? Also, you’ll need to decide if you want to use one planner for everything or if you’d prefer to have multiple planners for different areas of your life– think one for work life and one for home life. The first thing to do, before you ever buy your new planner is to choose the right planner for you.
