Instruction
By utilizing any material that you like, create your own DIY Planner. You can use colored papers, markers, or anything to make your DIY Planner UNIQUE yet, simple. Your DIY Planner may include the following:
1. Daily Task List
Task lists are very effective, especially if they are used regularly. They help you stay organized and keep track of things that need to be done! Don't forget to schedule tasks for every day, week and month so that there is enough time for them all. Making a checklist is easy, just write down everything that needs to be done (being realistic) in your DIY planner. 2. Bullet Journaling the daily planner is a place to see meetings, tasks, routines, and goals in one place. For example, you can create a personal routine where the responses roll into an index.You can see a running tally of responses like: Current Mood What's going on? Did you read today? What are you thankful for? 3. Goals Goals are what keep you moving forward. They keep you focused on your target and help you achieve it. The best thing about goals is that they should be SMART – specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely. Without a plan how can you achieve goals? You can make a lists of your Short term annual goals (one year or less) or Long term annual goals (two years or more) 4. Random Notes Keeping track of the notes you have taken is very important. This helps you to keep your ideas organized and reflect on them later. Write down random things that come to mind, from grocery lists to a short note about something you might want to do in the future. Your planner should be used as a memory aid! 5. Gratitude List Robert Emmons, a professor of psychology, suggests that taking a few minutes each day to write down three things that you are grateful for can have a profound impact on your state of mind and how you experience life. When done consistently, it can improve positive emotions, increase life satisfaction, decrease depression and increase overall well-being. You can write down five things that you are grateful for. 6. Passions & Favorite Things List It's good to focus on things that you love and enjoy – it will help you achieve your goals much faster! Writing a list of your passions and favorite things is a great way to remind yourself of the things that are important to you. Maybe even make some notes about what you should do next weekend with your family or friends. This list will help keep track of what you've accomplished lately and make you feel good about everything that has already been done. If there is something on your 'want' list and there isn't a way to accomplish it right now – move it to an "someday" section of your planner so that it remains in front of your eyes until the time comes when you can actually do it. 7. "My Perfect Day" What does your perfect day look like? What would you do if you had all the time in the world and nothing on your schedule? Write down everything that comes to mind. It can be as silly as "eating pancakes for breakfast" or "riding on a bike." This exercise will help you figure out what activities are the most important to you and what are their priorities. 8. Daily Affirmations Affirmations are great for self-improvement. They help you focus on your goals and define what is important to you. These can be written down and read daily or said out loud in the morning before starting your task list for the day. It's a good idea to do them every morning, as they will set the tone for the day and allow you to get things done. 9. Motivation Booster Motivation is hard to come by sometimes, especially when times get tough. It helps to keep a list of reasons why you want to achieve your goals and what you will gain when you do. This list should be somewhere where you can see it daily. It will make you think about how close you are to your goal and keep pushing forward. 10. Family & Friends Consider keeping your family informed about your progress towards our goals (and maybe even show them what we have achieved). You can include things like family birthdays in your planner or write down notes about what you did together last week/month/year. Write down plans for future trips and activities! 11. Bucket list A bucket list is a record of all the things that you want to do. It's not necessarily connected with your work, it can be anything: places to visit, books to read, movies and music to enjoy, people to meet etc. This activity will help you think about ways to improve yourself and make life more interesting.= Think about ways in which you can accomplish some of the items on your bucket list: write down ideas and plans for each of them. It's important that you don't make this list too long! It should only include things that are feasible in the near future and also make sure that they won't conflict with each other or take too much time away from other tasks/responsibilities.
