One way to be more productive is to have a good planner.
What’s good for one person may not be good for another, so the same planner won’t work for everyone.
But what you need is a planner that will make it easy for you to write down your goals, your to-do lists, and help you accomplish everything you want to.
When you can easily see what you need to get done today, this week, etc… it makes it a lot easier to pace yourself to make sure you get everything done.
Back at the beginning of the year, I found an awesome planner that I’m really enjoying using.
It’s called the “Inner Guide” Planner, and it not only has a lot of room to write what you’re doing each day, but has extra space each week for your goals, tasks & errands, ideas, and more.
On top of that, there’s also a page with the calendar for the month that also asks you questions helping you choose your goals and priorities for the month, and then at the end of the month is a page looking back at the month to reflect and see if you accomplished what you wanted to, and what your challenges were.
With all of this room, I’m finding it easy to put down everything I want to get done, and it also helps me make sure that I work on my prioritized goals.
I’m also using the monthly calendar as a great way to keep track of the posts I’ve written for each of my blogs. Sometimes I get ahead and put the posts in before they’re going live, so this makes it simple to see exactly where I am at a glance.
I love the fact that they also have a version that comes out mid-year, so if you decide to start using the book towards the middle of the year, you still get a version where you’ll get to use the whole year, and not have to waste most of it.
The Amazon link shows you what the different pages look like. I can tell you that it’s really helped me, but only you know if it will help you.
So if you want to get more done, choose a planner that will help you keep track of what you want to do each day/week, and that will help make it simple for you to accomplish your goals.
