Those who know me know that I have an odd obsession with planners and to-do lists, basically all sorts of organizational gadgets. I have been known to scour Pinterest for hours searching for the perfect to-do list or the perfect day planner to get me through a busy week. There is something about being able to see the week out in front of you that is soothing (but maybe that is just me). However, whether you are a “planner" or not, planning the last few weeks of the semester can make or break your last month of school. I compiled a comprehensive list of to-do lists and daily planners that will get you through finals, or whatever you are facing in the weeks ahead!
To-Do Lists
The blogger behind Team Confetti created a to-do list that will cover everything you could possibly have to do during a day. This list even leaves room for you to make sure you are drinking enough water, which is especially helpful as summer is heading toward us full force.
Ah, the Daily Docket. There are a hand full of versions that The Art of Simple offers for this daily to-do list, and each and every one of them is amazing. I use the Original Daily Docket 1.0 for my own personal use because I love the "Most Important Tasks" section, and the "Today's General Plan" section (along with the doodling section). The 2.0 version is also fantastic!
The Creativity Exchange blog offers a very cute and simple daily to-list that is suited more towards a day of running errands, which we all definitely have. If you are as forgetful as I am this to-do list is perfect!
The mom and daughter team at Organized Chaos Online offer a to-do list and a healthy eating schedule to get you through particularly crazy weeks. Their to-do list is super simple and straight to the point, and perfect if you prefer not to have a frilly list.
Daily/Weekly Planners
Passion Planner is another personal favorite of mine, and one daily planner I use quite frequently. This planner allows for you to have a daily and weekly focus in a complete day planner, and work and personal to-do list for the week. My biggest tip if you are looking to conserve paper is to print the weekly planner out double-sided. You will literally have an entire week planned out on one page!
The blogger at Organizing Homelife offers a quirky daily planner in a non-traditional platform. This planner is bare bones simple and may not be my first choice, but I recommend trying it because it may work for those that just need a quick outline of their day.
The Day Designer is perhaps more minimalistic than the previous planner, but it provides a schedule and to-list, as well as a "Don't Forget" and "Daily Gratitudes" section. Getting your hands on this planner is a little trickier than the rest, you have to provide your name and email address to the blog, and by doing that your .pdf version of the daily planner will wind up in your inbox! But, it is definitely worth the extra work.
Classified as a daily planner, the planner offered by The Home Life [And Me] is part planner and part to-do list. Personally, this looks more like a to-do list than a planner, but it is titled as a "Daily Planner" so I classified it as a planner so as to not hurt anyone's feelings.
For the especially creative among us, two-forty-six offers a monthly and weekly planner that leaves the planning, or crafting up to you. These planners are mostly blank and are perfect for outlining the month or the week with your most important tasks or happenings.
Now, if these planners do not seem to do it for you and you have one that does, please let me know. I am always on the look out for a new planner or to-do list that will bring me to organizational nirvana.
