High school is already hectic, and I know college will be even busier. What planners do you guys recommend for staying organized and managing a crazy schedule in college?
Hi there!
The planner that's best for you might depend on your personal preferences for organization and design. That said, there are a few options that many students find helpful.
One popular option is the Erin Condren LifePlanner. It has room to plan out each day by the hour, monthly overviews, and pages for notes. They're customizable with different layouts and designs, and they have a variety of stickers, interchangeable covers, and other accessories you can add.
The Panda Planner is another good option. It emphasizes scientific strategies to improve productivity and happiness, with spaces for morning and end-of-day reviews, daily and weekly goals, and spaces to reflect on what you're grateful for.
The Lemome Academic Planner also has a legion of fans. It includes monthly and weekly sections, 58 note pages, and even some cool extras like a pocket folder, ruler, and stickers. It might be a good choice if you want a balance of space to plan academic tasks and record thoughts or ideas that come up throughout the day.
Lastly, for more technology-inclined individuals, digital planners like Google Calendar, Notion, or MyStudyLife might be the way to go. They allow for color coding, customizable reminders, and can easily be adjusted if your schedule changes. Plus, they're always accessible from your phone or computer!
Remember, the most effective planner is the one you actually enjoy using, so don't be afraid to try out a few different kinds until you find what works best for you.
