Ladies, let’s face it: life is hard. We have a million and one things to do in a day, and we definitely don’t have the magic powers we need to remember to do it all.
We’ve all forgotten due dates, events or presentations at least once, and it’s not fun. Planners are a blessing when it comes to getting your life (and your schoolwork) under control.
Using a planner is a cute and stylish way to organize your life, remember important dates, and stay on top of your busy schedule. Whether you already use a planner, or think you might want to start, these are the most important reasons to keep one on hand!
Forget about forgetting.
We all know that planners are basically pocket-sized calendars. Planners can be yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, or everything in one, which makes it super convenient to track your important dates. Due dates, presentations, work schedules, activities and girl’s nights out can all be easily organized in a planner, so you’ll never forget or double book yourself. Having all your dates in front of your face is the most effective way to never forget one, so a planner is key in maximizing your time!
You basically become a schedule psychic.
There’s just something about being able to see your whole month planned out ahead of you that makes you remember what you’re in for. With a planner, you can constantly remember what you’ve signed yourself up for, so forget about that day-before scramble you’re used to! If you can see your month, or even your week, in advance, you’re more likely to remember something is due before you have to stay up the entire night to cram for it.
Stress, be gone.
Being a lady boss is hard enough on its own, so why would you opt for a boring place to keep your important life goals? Planners come in all shapes and sizes, and cute, stylish, planners are in no short supply. Color therapy, bullet journals, soothing patterns or even DIY planners can be a great way to engage your creative side. Whether you like to color code, color, or just create something yourself, planners are a great way to take a productive break and lower your stress levels. There’s a planner out there for everyone, so go find the one that’s perfect for you!
Stop wasting your free time.
Whether you’re slam packed for a day, or taking time for yourself, a planner can help you productively schedule your time. You’ll be able to see when you’re free, remind yourself of what you have coming next, and use your free to do something productive, like get lunch, relax, or work on an upcoming project! You’ll also catch yourself before you double book your time. There’s nothing worse than realizing you can’t be in two places at once, and scheduling your time in a planner is a great way to combat it. This leads us to the next, and arguably most important point…
(Look like) you’ve got your life under control.
Sometimes we just have to fake it until we make it. If you don’t have your life under control yet, or just want to humble brag that you do, being seen with a planner makes you look like you have your life under control! Who doesn’t want to look fabulously on top of their game?
So, Collegiettes, go out and find yourself a planner, and start slaying life!
