I’ve been honing my personal time-management strategy for a while now, and I feel like I’ve hit a pretty good stride. I use Asana to keep tabs on all my projects and tasks, both professional and personal. Google Calendar serves me well when it comes to juggling my events and appointments. (See how I use more of my favorite digital time savers and tools in this post.)

Where I’ve struggled is making a plan for today. Just today. Not the next three days, or week, or month ahead. I’m talking about a realistic, logical plan, at a glance, for this 24-hour period I’m living in right now.

It sounds easy: A daily plan that helps me stay focused on what I need to be doing at any given moment. Well, maybe it’s my ADHD brain, or my perfectionist tendencies, or whatever. But finding this ideal daily planner solution was no cake walk.

The Asana method

I tried using Asana for daily planning, but that gets tricky because I keep my personal projects separate from work projects. Even if I mark certain tasks “For Today,” I still have to switch back and forth throughout the day. Not so helpful with the whole “stay focused” thing. And bouncing between the web app and mobile, as I do, makes the switching even more of a pain.

The Google Calendar method

I tried using Google Calendar to schedule out all my work for the day, creating “appointments” for specific tasks based on whatever time I estimate they will take. Unfortunately, those reminders got irritating since they’d go off so frequently (not just for real events). And whenever I glanced at my calendar, seeing all those time slots full of things, I felt a panic attack coming on.

The whiteboard method

So then, I went for a simpler “offline” approach: writing today’s tasks on a small, dry-erase whiteboard. It certainly felt satisfying to cross off tasks throughout the day. As long as I didn’t go overboard with the list, and kept my to-dos within the range of possibility, I wasn’t overwhelmed seeing that whiteboard.

This method worked fine when I had a dedicated office, but it didn’t adapt too well after I moved to a coworking, shared office arrangement. I don’t really want to carry a whiteboard around with me from home to whatever desk I’m using each day, and back again. Plus, the dry-erase marker writing gets all messed up in the transport process.

Planner shopping

That’s when I started looking into daily planners, of which there are APLENTY to choose from. I wanted a one-page, one-day-at-a-time kind of plan. Simple, clean, just the basics, nothing too cutesy, no trademarked “systems” I needed to learn. After shopping around online, I discovered a range of daily planner options from free printables to pricey designer ones with leather covers. But nothing quite right.

DIY style

Why don’t I just design my own daily planner? This thought finally occurred to me, and I quickly got to work creating a printable page that addressed my needs. As I added the nuts and bolts of “to do’s” and time blocks, I felt like my daily planner still needed … something. It needed INSPIRATION, specifically for a working mom like me. So I added little statements in the bottom right corner. On each page, I put a brief affirmation I can say to myself during the day to lift my spirits or give myself a break.

Now I had the daily planner I’d been looking for. Made it myself. Printed some copies, put them on a clipboard (one of my current obsessions), and started using my creation.
