Planning and organizing some elements of your daily life can be really beneficially to you but make sure not to overdo it. Even at the start of a new week, if you just plan out what you have to get done for the week and make yourself a weekly plan can really make a difference. Being able to see what tasks that you have to complete over the course of the week and what needs to get done in the weeks following is good because it will help you stay on track and not fall off of the wagon so to say.

A good way to log your tasks and plans for the week is to get a planner that has certain blocks that allow you to see an overview of the week on just one spread OR you can get a blank notebook that allows you to be more creative and make your own spreads and layouts that pertain just to you and your needs.

Personally, I like to use an already made planner that has all of the blocks laid out for me already because I am just too busy with college and working almost everyday of the week. Being able to have everything right in front me and just being able to throw all of my information down in one place is quick and easy. When it comes to the summertime, I do pull out the old bullet journal and really sit down and be creative because I do have the extra time to spare and really make a spread become my own.

Just keeping a journal and dumping all your important things to do in can do wonders, even if you do it once at the beginning of the week. You do what works best for you. What works best for me is writing and planning just once at the beginning of the week because it allows me to see the week as a whole and makes it a lot easier for me to transfer over tasks for the next week. The planner that I use, I got from Target. It has two separate mini notebooks inside where it blocks off the two halves of the year. It is the May Designs Planner Portfolio and it is still available at Target for $19.99. The good thing about this certain planner is that when the year is over, you can keep the outside portfolio and create your own planner inserts from the May Designs website. You are still able to be creative and make your own designs and layouts but you do not have to physically make them. It costs about anywhere from $30-50 to make the two separate inserts but you can customize them to the max and make them completely your own. 🙂
