Dream. Plan. Do - 2022 Planner Guide
Picking a planner comes down to personal preference, whether you like to keep track of every detail or just jot a few reminder notes. Some planners have an organized layout, making space to write all your tasks. Other planners have extra papers at the back for notes, to-do lists, and doodles. The size of your planner is important too. You need enough space for jottings but in a book that can easily fit in their backpack.
