What Type of Planner is Right for You? 
   You may have been told all of your life that having an agenda is crucial to time management. While this 
   sentiment may be true, it does not designate only one kind of agenda or planner. If the traditional planner 
   hasn’t worked for you in the past, please keep reading- this handout is for you! Below there is only a sample of 
   the various ways real students, teacher, entrepreneurs, and people from all walks of life have organized their 
   time with their own planning system.  
   To-Do Lists- Digital and Analog 
   Sometimes the simplest option is the best option! You don’t need a 
   complicated system if that’s not right for you. Every day or week 
   simply take out a sheet of paper and write down your tasks for the 
   day/week. I recommend dedicating a journal, notebook, or online 
   space specifically for this purpose and to bring your list with you 
   wherever you go and cross tasks off as you complete them.

                                   Structured Planners & Printables 
                       On the other end of the planner spectrum, we have structured 
                        planners and printables. This option is about either buying a 
                    structured agenda with various capacities for planning different things 
                    (see suggestions below) or finding printables online (often for free, or 
                    at a low price). There are hundreds of options, so you are sure to find 
                       something that suits your needs. Look up reviews online of best 
                       planners for students, graduate students, teacher, etc. There is 
                                  something out there for everyone!

   Bullet Journaling 
   Bullet journals requires as much or as little preparation as you want, 
   because bullet journaling it’s all about you! You make the planner, you 
   set the format, you make whatever it is that you need. All bullet 
   journals require is a journal and pen (though, art supplies are certainly 
   fun, if you’re into that). There are tons of guides online to help you set 
   one up, and blogs, Instagram accounts, and Pinterest boards 
   dedicated to fun and unique examples. The sky is the limit!
