How to Make the Most of Your Planner

• 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.
