“Listening to many speakers and looking at other women’s schedules and organizers just made me feel like their lives were too perfect and they couldn’t possibly relate to me.”
– Susie Glennan
The Busy Woman knows better. Thousands of women use The Busy Woman’s Daily Planner © pages on a daily basis, to help them bring order to their busy and sometimes chaotic, less than perfect lives.
Welcome to the wonderful world of organization! Here are a few tips to get you started using your Busy Woman’s Daily Planner ©. Read our article Personality Based Time Management © to find out what personality type you are: A Compulsive; A Casual; B Motivated; B Messy. When you’re done, come back here.
If you wonder what size day planner you need or want…
~ Do you write large? You can tell by looking at the amount of space you take up when you write on college ruled paper. If you fill up the lines, buy the Notebook Size daily planner.
~ Do you have smaller writing or can you learn to write smaller (because you want to carry your planner with you)? Buy the Classic Size daily planner.
All of the pages have two sizes to choose from right next to each other. Just click the “Add to Shopping Cart” button.
Only put what you absolutely need inside of your planner. If you carry it with you, it should be as light as possible.
Planner Pages
Monthly Planner Pages – Only put up to six months worth of pages at a time.
Monthly Tabs – Classic Size
/ Notebook Size
Daily Planner Pages – Start off trying 14 pages behind only the month you are in when you print your planner pages. That will give you 14 days. (If you can print back to back it will only take 7 pages.) If after 14 days you need more, add them. Otherwise, stick with less until you know what works best.
Weekly Planner Pages – Start off trying 2 weekly pages in that first month as well. You can also alternate daily pages with the weekly pages. However, Type B Personalities should only use one page or the other.
Section Tabs – Be creative! You can purchase Blank (Section) Tabs here: Classic Size
/ Notebook Size
In the different sections, only put in a few pages of each kind until you learn what pages work best for you. After about a month, maybe less, you will be able to ascertain what pages you need more of and what you need less of. (Or if you need additional types of pages.)
