Who knew there was a planner awareness month... Great post. I think having the right planner is key to wanting to use it and using consistently. When I love the design of my planner, I love the clean sheet each day brings full of opportunity.

These are great tips! I know so many people who overestimate their planning capabilities and purchase big, fancy planners and end up not using them or getting overwhelmed. Thanks for sharing!

I so agree about planner size. I have tried smaller planners so that I can take them with me and I hated using them because they were too small. My tip is to find a system that works for you. I used to use the Arc system because I liked moving stuff around but the layouts were weekly and I hated weekly. I switched to a Franklin Covey with daily sheets but realized I liked the weekly overview so I create my own little layout to use as a bookmark. If it doesn't work for you, you won't use it.

Yes couldn't agree more, if your planner isn't working for you change it. I used to use an A5 Carpe Diem, but just made it look pretty. I now use a travelers notebook style planner and love it.

I SO need these tips because I tend to be a 'planner' drop out. I get so excited but then it fizzles out and I forget to use it.

I love my planner, but I know I'm not maximizing its potential. These are great tips, especially the one about FB groups. I didn't know those existed!

I don't have a paper planner but bullet journals have been teasing me to dive in. LOL
