Start with a blank page, or choose a planner that has sections clearly marked for you. There are hundreds of variations, from daily planners to weekly, monthly and yearly options. So it depends just how creative you want to get!

2. Color code

Use color coding to help you organize your daily and monthly schedules. But also the use of the color will help to decorate and make your planner look pretty. Try using softer highlighters in pastel tones to make your planner less offensive than the typical neon yellows. You can also use different color page flags which direct you to certain key points and emphasize the need of certain topics. Color coding can help to organize conflicting work and leisure activities, making your planner much more visually effective.

3. Motivational stickers

Go online and find some really cute small inserts to print off, or purchase some with the ring holes punched already. You can add them in per week, day or month in your planner, depending on what you want to write on them. I use my inserts to keep track of my weekly groceries. I write down everything I need, from hummus to carrots and have the list always at hand in my planner. However, you can use these inserts to make note of daily goals, calls to make, priority lists or simply to divide your planner up.
