What's one thing you cannot live without? Not something like water or food, or even family or friends. Maybe I should say . . . what's one thing unnecessary to actual survival that you feel like you could not survive without? For me, it's a planner.
Planners
If there is one practice that can help me reset and refresh my life, it's using a planner. My favorite, the Full Focus Planner, completely changed the game for my productivity. I can set and track annual goals, quarterly progress, weekly priorities, daily rituals, hourly commitments, and more. From co-workers who I was with every day to strangers at a coffee shop who I only saw once, I have convinced anybody I could to use this planner. There are a variety of style, materials, and colors, so you can find the best fit for you!
Pens & Highlighters
The real magic of using a planner happens inside. These are all the tools I use to create my Pinterest-worthy planner each week.
I don't write a single word in my planner in ink that is not erasable. If hearing "erasable pen" takes you back to those ones with the ink that barely wrote and the erasers that ripped your paper, think again! Try these for yourself to see the new and improved design.
I color-code anything I can, and these are my favorite markers to do so. I can get overwhelmed by a rainbow of colors, so I typically stick to neutrals. My favorite combination of colors includes a couple from this 'portraits' pack, and a couple from some other packs that I'll link below! I use these as highlighters in my planner to differentiate different areas of work and life.
This is my first time seeing this set, and I love the colors!
This was my first set of Tombow pens and is still a favorite of mine!
I also love this set of double-ended highlighters!
