At Appointed, we consider ourselves planner experts and we’ve seen firsthand how the right tools make all the difference. The secret? A planning routine that’s accessible, achievable, and designed to fit your lifestyle. Whether you're planning big-picture goals or managing the everyday, the Year Task Planner is designed to help you stay on track—one week at a time.
This fan-favorite format gives you the structure to organize your schedule while making room for flexibility and intention. Here, we’re sharing a few simple strategies to help you make the most of your Year Task Planner—plus, goal and ideas to inspire your year ahead.
1. Review Weekly
Take a moment each week to reflect and prepare before writing down your to-do list. Use Sunday evenings or Monday mornings to:
- Review your monthly and weekly layouts to map out your events
- Set 1–4 priorities for the week
- Block out time for deep work, errands, or rest
Tip: Writing things down helps reduce mental clutter. From small reminders to big ideas, brain dump everything onto the page.
2. Use the Task List to Your Advantage
The Year Task Planner’s signature feature is its flexible weekly layout side by side with a priorities and task list. Here are a few ways to organize your priorities:
- Column 1: Personal tasks (appointments, errands, self-care)
- Column 2: Work or school goals (projects, meetings, deadlines)
- OR
- Column 1: Must-do tasks
- Column 2: Nice-to-do tasks
This structure keeps your tasks manageable—and encourages balance between responsibilities and rest.
3. Track Progress With Goals
Setting monthly goals is a great way to stay motivated and measure progress without feeling overwhelmed. Use the goals page to keep your goals front and center and keep you motivated. Here are some of our favorite goals to focus on:
- One professional goal
- One personal or wellness goal
- One fun goal
- One habit you’d like to build (or break)
Return to these goals at the end of the month to reflect and adjust. And remind yourself: progress, not perfection.
4. Find Your Home Base
One of the best ways to stay consistent is to keep your planner nearby. Whether it lives on your desk, in your bag, or by your bedside table, keeping it in reach helps make planning part of your routine..
Tip: Pair it with a favorite pen or highlighter and make it a ritual you look forward to.
