As a girl whose concerns is being centered primarily in the here and now, I often forget to stop, breathe and savor a moment and save it to memory. I am now an individual who crunches a full time job and everything else in between, maintaining a planner became a bit overwhelming, sometimes even unnecessary, especially with the advent of smartphones and gadgets that can keep track of our schedules for us. However, there is something magical and deeply satisfying about writing down your thoughts and plans with pen on paper, and this is why I decided to go back to writing in a Planner.
Here are some tips to keep the water (and inspiration) flowing.
Plan daily. Give even at least ten minutes to allow yourself to write down your activities ans tasks for the next day. Try this for 30 straight days, until it becomes habit. After that, you can move on to making plans weekly, and then monthly.
Don’t stress about filling everything out at once. Allow your planner to reflect your situation one day at a time. Some weeks will be full, others won’t be as so, and you have to understand that that is ok. Planners are there to help you remember some good memories and not add stress.
Have one planner for everything. This is is pretty self explanatory. It helps to keep everything all in one place, so you won’t have to resort to checking multiple planners or calendars – or worst, your phone. It’s best also to develop a separation system beforehand so you could keep all your personal and business papers together, but won’t be confused in the process.
Check your planner always. Carry it with you religiously. Check it every now and then. Never keep it stored away lest it might get forgotten. Make it a part of your daily belongings – in the likes of your phone, keys, and wallet.
Pick one in a size and style you would be happy to carry with you everywhere, everyday.
