Welcome to our A to Z Challenge for 2021. Thank you for joining us for another celebration of notebooks. This year we are doing an A to Z round-up of different planners.

TIDBITS Day Planner

The Day Planner 2021

The Day Planner 2021 is designed to be simple, neutral and productive. It contains space for yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly planning. It starts with the usual year overview for 2021. There is then space for a month by month summary view before going into the monthly/weekly layout. Each month is tabbed.

Surprisingly this has ended up being the planner I’ve used the most this year. I love that this planner flows in chronological order and has monthly tabs. This is a great feature and I’ve been using this planner solidly all year, the tabs make it quick and easy to plan ahead.

The monthly layout includes a Dated Monthly Overview for each month followed by a flexible unheaded section. I love that they have not chosen the headings for you. Therefore you can choose your own headings depending on what is important to you and your life. The planner does not make any assumptions about what you need. I use my monthly planner by using coloured highlighting and each month I pick a project to work on which the flexible unheaded section is perfect for each month.

The Weekly pages are equally as flexible, with space for your to-do list/schedule as well as unheaded sections for your weekly plan. The top half I’ve been using for my “must-dos” each day and notes and then in the lower half which is designed for the schedule I’ve simply been writing a to do list for each day of the week (and ignoring the schedule part). This is what works for me right now but I can see the schedule element working well for people who need this too.

The habit tracker pages in the top corners of the weekly pages are also pretty useful for keeping track of your habits. Alternatively, they also make a great tracker to ensure that you are posting on Social Media or Blogging on a regular basis if you need to improve your consistency.

At the back of the planner, there is also some space for reviewing your year and forward planning for 2022 as well as a mixture of note pages in line, graph and dot grid options. I went through these pages very quickly, so it was a shame there were not a few more.
