Do you plan your days? Or are you more of the “fly by the seat of your pants” type? I like to have a simple, basic plan for my day. Otherwise, I pretty much forget everything.

I truly believe that part of Building Your Best Life is having at least a little bit of a plan to help get you through each day. I just finished creating a printable daily planner sheet that is a fantastic complement to my dreams and goals worksheet, and I wanted to share it with you!

How to Use the Printable Daily Planner Page

First, decide on ONE focus for the day. (Related post: Stop Thinking and Start Doing) This is THE most important thing you will write on your planner page!

For the Motivational Thought section, you could use one of my collection of motivational quotes to fit the focus for your day.

But sometimes I just make something up & write it in there to inspire myself. Don’t ignore the times your motivation comes from within!

Thanks to once a month meal planning, I usually know what we’ll be having for dinner. Breakfast and lunch? Not so much. Still, I put spaces in there because I know others are much better at planning those meals than I am. Or, you could use the blank areas to record what you ate for the day.

I have to track my water intake or I never drink enough! I don’t know about you, but I always feel better when I’m adequately hydrated.

In the Notes section, you can make a list of mini-tasks you would like to accomplish. Or, you can take notes about things as they happen during the day. I like to make a general task list on a 3”x3” sticky note at the beginning of the week and just move it from page to page as the week progresses. Then I use the Notes section for random thoughts.

I’m a time-blocker, and I need a visual representation of that, so I made a Daily Schedule section. You’ll notice the day begins at 4:00 a.m., which is a little ambitious, but honestly there are a lot of days I’m up by 4:30, depending on my husband’s work schedule.

Then I’m almost always in bed shortly after 8:00, but I know most people manage to stay up later. I just cannot keep my eyes open longer than that, and I like to give myself 30 minutes to relax in bed and fall asleep.

I am now in the habit of doing my planning at night, which is why you will see the reminder at the bottom of the page to do just that!

However, you can easily make filling out the hourly planner printable an important part of a perfect morning routine. Writing down your schedule along with your daily focus, motivation, and other notes can really help you get into the right frame of mind for an intentional day.

Printing Your Planner Page

This is a 2-page file that is meant to be printed 2-sided on standard US 8-1/2″x11″ paper. You will notice on page 2, the date section is on the opposite side of the page so you can easily see it when you’re flipping through your pages after they are in a binder.

My printer prints on both sides, so all I have to do is select that option in my print screen. If your printer will print on both sides, be sure to select “flip on long edge” for the correct orientation. If you prefer to only print one side, that’s fine too!

Choose “fine” or “quality” printing if you want the page to look best. If you simply want to print a page for fast planning, then save some ink and print on the “normal” setting. Just be aware that it will not look the best. Print in grayscale to save more ink.

I love the salmon color planner page, but sometimes I use the gray version so I will notice colored writing or highlighted markings more easily.

After printing, 3-hole punch your planner sheets to keep them in a binder — or slip the page into a clipboard if that’s an easier daily visual for you.

Consistently using a planner page makes a huge difference in how well I focus and how much I can accomplish each day. I hope this printable daily planner page will help motivate you to organize your day and focus on what is truly important to you!

Putting Your Daily Planner Printable Into Use

There are several ways to keep your daily planning sheet ‘front and center’ as you go about your day.

• Keep your planner page loose on your desk near where you’re working. I love this option.
• Choose the best 3 ring binder to create your own complete planner. Have it open next to you, take it with you as you’re out and about… whatever works for YOU.
• Place a blank daily planner page inside one of these nifty clear magnetic pockets and hang it on the fridge or another magnetic surface. Use a fine-point wet erase marker to plan and track your day.

Using a printable planning page is a fantastic way to take charge of your day! I hope you’ll find this printable a useful tool as you Build Your Best Life.
