Some days need more than a to-do list. When the day is packed, it helps to see exactly when each thing will happen. This daily planner gives you an hour-by-hour schedule on the left and everything else you need on the right.
What’s inside
- Hourly schedule from 6 am to 9 pm.
- Top 3: the three things that matter most today.
- To do: seven checkbox lines for everything else.
- Meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus eight little glasses to tick off for water.
- Notes: a larger box for ideas, calls and reminders.
How to use it
- Fill it in the night before or first thing in the morning. It takes about five minutes.
- Block fixed things first: work, school runs, appointments.
- Give your top 3 a time slot. A task with a time is far more likely to get done than one on a list.
- Leave some empty hours. Days rarely go exactly to plan, and a little buffer keeps one late meeting from ruining the afternoon.
Tips
- Batch small jobs. Group calls, emails and errands into one time slot instead of spreading them across the day.
- Plan meals here too. Writing dinner down in the morning saves the 5 pm “what’s for dinner?” scramble.
- Use it with the weekly page. Plan the big picture on our weekly planner, then use this page on your busiest days.
