Why Use A Weekly Planner Template?

The best way for me to keep organized is to not have too many steps. A daily planner is too cumbersome for me. I need to be able to plan the whole week.

Now ideally, I liked to just have a month-at-a-glance calendar, but I have learned taking time to plan is a good thing. A monthly planner was just too broad for me. So I arrived at a weekly schedule, which helps me with day-to-day time management as well as planning out a few days ahead.

I am a list maker. Oh, how I love lists and now have a weekly to-do list.  In my weekly planner template, you’ll see I have plenty of space at the bottom for jotting down ideas and things I don’t want to forget during the week.

If you have loads of meetings and engagements during the day then this little planner might not fit your needs, or maybe you keep all that on your phone.

For me, I like the way a weekly planner helps me focus on the big picture, without getting too bogged down in daily details. At the weekly level, you can build on your goals and think about how they translate into your daily actions.

A weekly overview isn’t just for keeping track of your work schedule. If you need a pretty place to keep a few reminders of both work and personal things you need to get done, I hope this weekly calendar will work for you!

How do you use a weekly planner?

If you too are a fan of the weekly planner I have a pretty schedule template that you can print (just click the link above the photo)!

I am focusing on being thankful, so you will see a spot to write that down every day. I knew I wouldn’t keep up with a gratitude journal, but I can take a moment to express my thankfulness daily and jot it down on my weekly agenda.

There are tasks I am going to try to do every day……like drink water, exercise, take vitamins and pray. I have a little spot to check those off for each day of the week.

You will find a spot to list out weekly goals. If you set goals this year, as I did, it truly helps to keep them in full view — always working on them! If you use the weekend for projects, family activities, and fun you will have plenty of room to write those down, too.

Now you are ready for some productive weekly planning!

6 tips for using a weekly planner

  1. Schedule a time each week to have a planning session. Look at the previous week and see if there are items that didn’t get accomplished that need to be moved to the upcoming week. Evaluate areas where you need improvement (especially in the daily tasks like drink water, eat veggies, etc.)
  2. Check your planner first thing in the morning and once before ending your day. Be sure to add any new appointments or new tasks. Checking in often will keep you on track.
  3. Make your tasks specific.
  4. If you’re a visual person, use different colored pens or stickers to help separate different types of tasks at a glance.
  5. Try to keep everything on this sheet. Multiple planning pages of notes and lists will only cause confusion.
  6. Don’t over-schedule. Allow time in your day for unexpected tasks and fun.
