2023 has officially begun and the new year has presented us with the perfect opportunity to rejig and reorganise our lives to make this our best year yet!
No matter what your resolutions may be for the new year whether that be progressing your career, spending quality time with loved ones, working on your health and fitness or learning a new skill – staying organised allows us to make the most of our time to kick goals all year long.
Now if you’re like us and struggle to stay motivated to keep your diary organised year round, don’t worry because we have some tips and tricks to stick with your organisation and make the most of your planner.
How to stick to using your planner
1. Have a planner you want to use!
It seems simple enough but having an eye-catching planner/diary makes the world of difference when it comes to staying on top of it.
There are thousands of planners on the market that can tick any box you may be searching for in a diary – health planners, career focused goal diaries, diaries that encourage gratitude and mindfulness and more. Recognise what you are looking for in a diary and find something that makes your day just that little bit easier.
2. Keep it visible
Keeping your diary in a prominent position on your office desk, WFH station or kitchen counter means it will stay front of mind when it comes to every day organisation.
3. Stay simple and make it enjoyable
Don’t expect yourself to document every single plan you have for the day because that is when staying organised will become a chore.
Start by jotting down trips, major work dates, birthdays and appointments you have coming up. If you want to take it up a level up you can include social plans and meetings or you can keep it super base line.
Make it fun by using fun pens for different ‘themes’ or find a diary that includes interactive pages like puzzles, questions to answer or tasks to complete.
