There’s something powerful about laying out your week on paper, where you can organize tasks, ideas, and intentions. Today’s poppies-themed planner page offers a simple, artful way to bring a little structure (and beauty) to your days.
Every year, I release some sort of productivity printable, like a goals sheet or a meal planner. While I love to explore big goals, I find that — at least lately — my focus tends to be on the near future. There’s something clarifying about taking things day by day, focusing on a week at a time. With that in mind, I’ve spent the past few days working on creating a poppies-themed printable planner page.
First, I’d recommend printing out one copy of the planner, just to see how you like using it. Wait until this weekend (or Monday, even), and begin to fill it out.
How you populate your weekly planner is completely up to you and what feels right! For me, there’s no greater joy than checked boxes, so I gravitate toward a format that features check boxes and small, efficient handwriting.
If that formatting doesn’t excite you, I invite you to play! You might customize your page with creative block lettering; and maybe instead of check boxes, you keep a colored pencil or a highlighter nearby to mark finished tasks.
No matter how you choose to organize your tasks and goals within the planner, I hope it helps you to breathe a little easier. I’ll officially start using mine next week, and I’m excited for that feeling of mental decluttering. It can be amazing how tasks and to-dos lose the power to make you feel overwhelmed once you write them down!
Many creatives deal with the problem of “so much to do, so little time”. It’s not exactly that the vital tasks add up; it’s the things that we want to try and the projects we’d like to complete! With that in mind, there’s a little something for everyone on this site. Here’s a sampling:
This watercolor calligraphy weekly planner, an alternative to today’s poppies-themed page, relies on a very simple design to help you organize yourself for the week.
If meal planning is something you’d like to try doing this year, try this lovely Mediterranean-themed printable. (Hint: It looks great displayed on your fridge.)
The “Bulletproof” New Year Goals Worksheet is for the years when you want to come up with a plan for those fabulous pie-in-the-sky achievements.
Every January, I like to offer something like this weekly planner to you because I want us all to feel happy, productive, and full of potential! I know that, for me, when I write things down, I get a giddy, can-do feeling that helps squelch overwhelm.
This planner’s goal is to help you approach your days with more clarity and less pressure. Try it for a week, notice what feels good, and adjust as you go! There’s no wrong way to use it. Oftentimes, just writing things down is enough to transform your outlook … and the elegant poppy illustrations are a calming bonus.
