My planner is my heart and soul. My planner has helped me get through college thus far. They are perfect to keep your schedule with you at all times. Yes, planners can make you feel overwhelmed, but there are ways to make your planner more appealing, trust me.

1. Use different colored markers/pens.

This not only will help you be more organized, but also will be great for making it appealing.

2. Add stickers.

This will for sure make your planner more appealing and less stressful to look at.

3. Add your favorite quotes.

Who doesn’t smile when they read their favorite quote while stress out?

4. Doodle.

Just doodle.

5. Write all special events in.

Seeing something exciting come up in my calendar makes my heart happy.
