There is many ways to customize day planner inserts, you can change the lay out of the page to work better for your style of planning. You can decorate with color pens or just adding stickers to the page to make it pleasing to the eye. So today I will be talking about the three way I list above that may help you customize your day planner.
1. We are going to talk about the layout of you day planner page. There is many ways to lay out the day planner to help you get all your plans done. The most common is the page that has one column with a list of times, that you will fill in the blank times for your needs. This style of page works for some, but not all. So do you have many categories that you need to schedule time for such as Work, Home, and Kids events, so that the common time sheet dose not work for you.
There are many programs out that there you can make your own page lay to fit your needs. Here are some that I use or have used to make my planner inserts Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher and Open-office. I know not all have Microsoft office suit but there is free alternative out there like Open-office. Also if you are on a Mac there are programs that come with it like Pages that is like Microsoft Word. You can set down with any of these programs and make a day planner that fits your needs with multiple categories. If your not sure what kind of lay out you want there are great resources you can find on Pinterest.com that may help you get ideas of what could work for you. When setting down to work on creating your day planner insert and your not sure where to start in your chosen program don’t for get that there is many videos that you can find on You Tube.com that will help you find you way around the program. Don’t stress about making your inserts perfect enjoy the process it’s you day planner insert!
2. Another way to customize your day planner is by using color pens! Using color pens you can make your day planner page eye-pleasing to you. You may have different categories that you need to plan for and don’t have the time to set and work on a different layout of day planner. So make a color code system for example Red = Work , Green = Home and Blue = Kids events. With using a color code system you will for sure know what category you are working on. I know this may not be the prettiest way to have your day planner, so maybe pick two colors and write all you task down to make a color theme for the day. I have done both of these ideas myself and found that it helps me focus on getting the task done. I could not help myself and wanting to look over my planner with all the colors I had used for the day. Its your day planner color it to make you feel good about your day.
3. The last one would be STICKERS! Using stickers on your day planner page may help you be able to break up your day or just add some cute images to your day to keep you smiling. There are many types of stickers the Cute ones or productive ones its up to you hand how you want you day planner page to look. The cute stickers can be used to get you to look at your page more in the day. The productive ones can show you what needs to be done and how much you have got done. You probably saying to your self stickers in a day planner, yes why not! Its you planner do what you want! There is many shops that you an can buy stickers like Etsy, or you can make your own.
All three of these process have their draw backs,but it is your Day planner make it how you want it. Spend as much time on it as you want or as little time as you want IT’S YOURS.
