How to Use the Weekly Planner
- Write the week's start date on the Week of line.
- List no more than three Top Priorities — the things that must happen.
- Fill day rows with appointments first, then tasks around them.
- Use Notes for anything without a fixed day.
- On the last day, spend five minutes reviewing and set up next week's sheet.

Weekly Planning Methods That Work
A weekly planner is only as good as the habit behind it. These three simple methods turn a blank sheet into a week that actually goes to plan:
Time blocking
Instead of a loose to-do list, give each task a slot in the day. Block your fixed appointments first, then drop your most important work into the best hours. Seeing your day fill up stops you from over-committing.
The top-three rule
Every week, pick no more than three priorities — the things that must happen. Write them in the Top Priorities box. If everything is a priority, nothing is, so keep the list short and honest.
The 15-minute weekly review
At the end of the week, spend fifteen minutes looking back: what got done, what slipped, and what's coming. Then set up next week's sheet. This short habit is what keeps a paper planner working long after a fresh app gets abandoned. Our weekly planner guide goes deeper on each method.
Tip: pair this weekly sheet with a monthly calendar for the big picture, and a blank calendar for habit tracking. Together they cover the day, the week and the month.
