PLANNERS & JOURNALS

If you use some kind of time-management system or planner, what do you use?

I'm trying to set one up for the first time in my life and I'm not sure what to do. It's all so complicated!

(part of me is honestly half-wondering if i have ADHD tbh given the amount of time i waste doing absolutely nothing.)

I use a small weekly planner to organize What I'm Going To Do and When, while I use the calendar app on my smartphone for things like schedules and events I have to go to. I also have a "task/to-do list" app I use, so when I'm done with something from my paper weekly planner, I'll cross it off there and check it off in the app.

I have multiple ones, probably way more than I need. I used electronic calenders on my phone and I use a smaller desk planner with a calender so I can write in my to-do lists and scheduled events.

Essentially find something that will allow you to write down everything you don't want to forget. Also if you want to make a point to finish certain tasks on specific days, make sure there is room on each day to write out bullet points for all the things you would like to get done that day.

I also use multiple ones.

I have a daily to-do list on paper, a paper diary and a wall planner. I like to keep things on paper so I can transfer information between them easily. I always run out of character space when I've tried to put information somewhere electronically so I've given up using phone or computer planners.

The only thing I do on my phone is set appointment alarms

Ticking off things on my daily to-do list is incredibly satisfying.

I have:
-a small planner with weeks laid out for daily tasks, appointments, homework, and deadlines. Highlighters are featured heavily for things like unusual schedules, deadlines/due dates, and personal fun things.
-a wall calendar with an overview for deadlines and planning events/appointments around deadlines/due dates, and checking things off where I can look at it everyday and feel that sense of completion and satisfaction. Because I need it, dammit.

I'm still getting used to this whole "smart" phone thing, but I mostly use that for remembering appointments, blocking out big chunks of time (as in weeks or days) for general scheduling purposes; things like I'm in school A for N weeks, and school B for X weeks. And it's more for the sake of having something on hand to refer to when I don't have access to my planner.

Everything single little thing gets written down in my weekly planner. I like one with a month across two pages, with one week on each subsequent set of pages, so I can reference back to specific thoughts and ideas I had when writing something down, plus everything else I wrote down at the same time. It's taken a few years to figure out what I really like best in my planners, and to be able to find one with all those features (I had to settle this year ><), but it's worth the trial and error. It makes me sooo picky now, but I like to think of it more as being particular about my organizatino. (Who'm I kidding, it's just picky.)

Honestly, my planner also turns into a scrapbook. I have tickets and programs (or cast lists from program, given size) taped in that thing. It's kinda fun.

A notebook and sometimes a planner. I keep turning the most to the notebook, because I can try various first drafts of plans without worrying about running out of space.

Combined with a highlighter, it can help me keep track of priority things, as opposed to things I'd just really like to do sometime soon. And then I strike out what I've done to get that fuzzy sense of accomplishment.

It's, uh, not the most efficient use of paper, though, so there's that.
