3 Ways a Planner Can Be For Much More Than Just Planning Your Day

We think of planners as a way to organize our day, remind us of appointments we have coming up, and record important dates. That makes sense when that's what planners were originally advertised to be. But these days, a planner can be so much more than just a portable calendar. Here are a few ways you can use planners that aren't just planning your day!

Set Goals

Planners are an excellent place to set goals and track your progress. In fact, many planners today have space where you can list your goals on a yearly or even monthly basis. This way, you'll be reminded of your goals whenever you open your planner, and you can keep track of your progress. Consider breaking down your goals into smaller steps in your planner and even reflecting on your progress if yo have space.

Reflect On the Day

When the day is done, if you have a little space in your planner, consider writing down some reflections. What were some highlights of your day? What did you learn? What did you enjoy? These little reflections will help you to gain some insight and wisdom for the days to come. At the end of the month, you may also do some larger reflections before you move on to setting goals for the next month.

Motivate Yourself

You can also use your planner to motivate yourself, not just by setting goals but recording encouragements. With a motivation planner in particular, you can even do exercises and answer prompts that help you stay motivated throughout your work. That way, when you need to refill on motivation a little bit, you can simply take out your planner and turn to those encouragements you set for yourself.

Planners can offer you a space to plan, reflect, encourage yourself, and so much more! With the right planner, you can have a pocketful of motivation wherever you go. Check out the Motivation Depot store for more motivational finds to keep you encouraged day after day.
