Hey guys! Today I want to discuss why I believe a paper planner is a must… even if you normally digitally plan. As always, you can see any products I mention linked below at the bottom of this post & please feel free to check out my YouTube for planner flips and more!
As you know if you follow me already, I use my Moterm Pocket Ring Planner. I LOVE IT. SO MUCH! I personally love pocket size and ring bound, but there are soooo many options out there to suite anyone looking for a paper planner. Let’s get into why I believe a paper planning system is a must in everyone’s life to help keep you productive & on track to reach any goals.
ONE. You will not lose all your important information if it is written down on paper. I also use digital calendars & digital notebooks to hold certain info & it is convenient to have on our phones for quick access, but I always have my paper planner on me too. I realize some might think it is unnecessary to be planning both digitally and on paper, but what happens if your digital calendars or notebooks get a glitch or virus and lose all the info you input? With a paper planner as well, all your information would still be accessible & cannot just be accidentally deleted. If I had to choose one style of planning out of these two, I would definitely do paper planning.
TWO. Writing your daily tasks, appointments & other information down helps you retain information better. Also, the act of writing something down then crossing it off your to do list is so satisfying, it makes you want to do those things just so you get to cross them off that it causes you to be more productive!
THREE. Less stress. We can all use that, right?! When you can sit down and map out your day, week, month, projects, goals, etc, you have a game plan. Even if you do not follow it exactly, you still have something mapped out so you know what to get done, be more productive & reach those goals.
FOUR. Less distraction. When you are using digital planners and you are on your devices, you can easily get distracted with all your notifications & social media. When you are in your paper planner, you can sit your devices aside and focus, causing you again to be more productive.
FIVE. Planning is relaxing & fun. Whether your planning style is very decorative & colorful or very minimalistic, your planner is YOUR space to write out whatever you need to get out of your head. Plus, I am a lover of all thing stationary & I get to use things up in my planners.
