These Top-Rated Planners Will Actually Help You Reach Your Goals This Year
Getting things done is always easier said than done. We have endless tasks on our to-do lists—whether it’s meeting a deadline at work, a DIY home project, or an appointment to schedule—but only so much brain space to remember it all. The good news is that if you can talk the talk but have trouble walking the walk, a great weekly planner can make all the difference.
Writing things down not only makes the demands of working, parenting, and simply living much more manageable, but it helps you to mentally prepare yourself and create an efficient game plan for the days, weeks, and months ahead, says Justin Barterian, Ph.D., a psychologist at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “Planners allow people to improve their time management skills by identifying and minimizing inefficiencies in their schedule,” he explains. “Putting everything in a planner and allowing yourself to focus on priorities can reduce stress by making sure you hit those big-ticket items without wasting time on lower priority tasks.”
Planners don't just have to be for your weekly to-dos, either. They can be for long-term goal setting, like calling a close friend more regularly or having a game night with your family. On top of feeling satisfied when you check things off your list (which gives you “positive reinforcement,” says Barterian), you’ll feel peace of mind seeing the big picture and knowing that you’ve totally got this. And if you don’t, it’s OK. You can reschedule and start fresh the next day.
Ready to get organized in 2022? Here are the best planners to help you meet all of your goals.
