The most effective way to use a planner starts with choosing the right one. Take the Erin Condren planner quiz to discover which planner is right for you. After you've chosen your perfect planner, an easy way to start building good habits is by using your planner every day. Here are a few tips to get you started.

Tips for Using an A5 Planner Effectively:

• 1. Block out time in your day to update and write in your planner to set goals for the day, week, and/or month.

• 2. Create a system that works best for you. Want to focus solely on work tasks? Separate sections for family/work/personal? Find the rhythm that fits with your life and customize the planner to fit those needs.

• 3. Record and organize everything all in one place, from daily checklists to shopping lists to budgets and notes. Using a planner this way will help you remember and keep track of important tasks, appointments, and info throughout the day.

• 4. It's okay to be messy from time to time, so don't stress out about always keeping your planner nice and neat. Have fun with your planner, make it your own, and enjoy how it will help you reduce stress and reach your goals!

Organizing your planner should start with building good habits for staying on track with your life goals and everyday planning. If you're new to maintaining a planner, start small by adding important dates to your planner. Then, begin to add monthly goals and daily or weekly tasks. It's the little things that count here!
Follow these other tips for organizing your planner:

• 1. Set aside a little time each day (or even once a week) to focus on reviewing and planning so that you can prioritize your tasks. This will help you focus your energy and time where it matters most.

• 2. Use planner accessories such as to-do list dashboards, stickers, folios, pouches, and more to turn your planner into an organization system where you keep everything organized in one convenient place.

• 3. Color code your planner notes and checklists with highlighters and pens. This is a fun and simple way to organize the info in your planner.

• 4. Write down important dates in your calendar spreads, and daily and weekly to-dos on your planning pages. Downloading your mind into your planner will help you improve time management, productivity, and help you keep track of the important notes and lists that you need to tackle because you never know what obstacle you'll encounter.
