How to Make the Most of Your Cute Planner – Quick Tips:
- Color-code the day’s events based on class subject, level of importance, due date, time — your choice! Having a visual representation can do wonders for better organization. Use the same color codes for your calendar so everything’s connected and easier to interpret.
- Try making a to-do list and then giving each task a value based on urgency, so that altogether they add up to 100. For example, any large projects you’d like to get done that day, label them 25 or even 30 (depending on how many other tasks you have lined up), then break the remaining into 15s, 10s, 5s, etc. That way, you’ll know exactly what to prioritize.
- You may have heard of this one — make a not-to-do list in addition to your regular agenda. If you have trouble staying focused, write that reminder to stay off social media, as well as to leave behind any other bad habits. Sometimes we just need to see it written down.
- Highlight, doodle, underline, circle! Do anything you want that makes your planner feel more personal. A cute, decorated schedule may get you more in the mood to go out there and be productive.
- A lot of planners have other features in addition to the built-in calendar — look for any included stickers, address log, note-taking space, or infographics.
- Enjoy! This is your personal space and we hope you have lots of fun staying on top of your scheduling game and rocking out these fun, fresh styles.
What should you include in your planner?
Planners can make you the best friend/child/significant other on the planet. You don’t have to keep tons of dates in your head, because you can write them all down.
A few examples: Write down birthdays and parents’ anniversaries to keep up with dates from back home. Add exam dates, project deadlines, and student group meets/events, etc. And as soon as you decide you may want to go to something on campus, write it down!
Also, we repeat this advice all the time on CF, but as soon as you get your syllabi for various classes, you have something to do: write down ALL of the exams and ALL of the project/assignment/homework deadlines. You will be so happy you did this.
Here’s my master list of things you should put into your planner:
- Home-related events. (Parents’ anniversary, friend’s birthday, brother’s school concert)
- School-related events. (Exam dates, project deadlines, club meetings)
- Your study schedule. (See how to keep a schedule, then just do this in your planner.)
- Schedules for your hobbies and down time. (Play piano for 30 minutes, read that book you just checked out, take time to watch that Netflix documentary)
- Health priorities. (Schedules for exercise, meal planning, doctor’s appointments)
How should you decorate your planner?
It’s all up to you! We’ve done a whole post on this type of thing here before, but in case you need other ideas, here are some items that will help you pretty-fy your planner:
- Different colored pens
- Stickers
- Post it Notes
- Customizable flags
- Special colors of paper (great if you have a Filofax or binder-type planner)
- Glue and glitter or GLITTER GLUE (you say 4th grade, we say right now)
What are some other uses for a planner?
A cute planner doesn’t have to be reserved solely for scheduling and, well, planning. If you want to get even more creative, there are so many possible uses for one. Here are a few ideas:
- Turn your planner into an art journal à la the above after each week. (Here’s a great Pinterest board with a zillion ideas.)
- Add newspaper clippings/magazine pictures that inspire you.
- Tape items from the week into your planner (Ex: Receipts, printouts of your Instagram photos, stickers from a club on campus)
- Have friends write notes in it – these will keep you happy and inspired when planning!
- Include a daily/monthly budget if you prefer to track your money with pencil and paper.
- Include a log for your daily health, with your exercise and eating habits.
