What is one of the reasons, that most people give up on their planner?

Creating a Planning Routine

First, you will want to figure out when you are going to look at your planner. (Sit down and fill in all of the nitty-gritty details for upcoming events.)

I always look in my planner every night, to add my to-dos for the following day, but I do miss planning in my planner sometimes. (I'm not perfect! 😊)

That is okay, because missing every once in a while, doesn't mean that you have another planner failure, it just means that you missed a day! (or two 😊)

A failed planner is when you absolutely dread looking at your planner. You would rather take out the trash, than sitting down at your desk and simply writing out your to-do's, that is when you need to change your planning system.

I am not going to lie. I didn't find the perfect planning system right away. You may have heard that I use to use a bullet journal, but I stopped because I dreaded writing in it.

Guess what?!

I figured out that I was trying to track too many things. Did it really matter whether or not I tracked when I woke up in the morning since I woke up at around the same time each day? Or track my exercising, even though I exercise almost every day?

Once I figured this out, I was able to get back on track with my planning routine. My planning routine consists of the following.

• Write new tasks in my monthly section
• Write down my to-dos and appointments for the following day (maybe add a doodle too! 😊)
• Make a note about upcoming appointments for the week (If it is something that I do every week, I usually don't write it down)
• Update my blogging section with new tasks or experiments I want to try (if needed)
