A study planner is a very efficient item that can help many students to organize their schedules and manage their study time efficiently.

A lot of experts has proved the benefits of using a planner. According to Forbes, They found figures that indicate the large percentage of people who use planners have more time for social life, have strong family relationships and are financially secure.

Through writing lists that you have to do, you can identify the study you already have done and the part you still need to work on.

It becomes more effective as you write.

For example, rather than ‘do math workbook’, ‘do math workbook unit 9: trigonometry, page 45~50’ will enable you to check and follow up on your progress. 

A study planner is also very efficient for preparing for any exam.

For example, recording the time you have left, writing how you are going to prepare for them and planning how much you will spend for each subject will make sure that you are not studying the wrong subject at the wrong time.

For instance, it is a waste of time if you study math when you have already studied a lot.

Instead, it would help if you studied science, which is a subject that you have not studied for a week. 

Additionally, if you plan a monthly schedule, it will make your exam period much more manageable. .

There is no big difference with planning your day.

You need to extend your daily plan until the exam.

Write the subject that you have to work on each day, balancing each subject’s studying time.

Then follow your plan. That’s all. The planner will tell you the best way to spend your limited time efficiently. 

There are a lot of types of planners. You can choose your favorite based on your taste.

The most common type is a daily planner.

It has space for each day on each page.

You can put specific studies you need to complete, as there is enough space.

In addition, there are places for small memos, d-day, bedtime, or time recording. 

A monthly or Weekly planner is usually for the general schedule or overall work you have to do.

The space that each day has is also not as big as the daily planner.

For instance, if you can write “do science workbook unit 7: fundamental chemistry, page 68~72”, you might want to write “science workbook” to simply check the subject in a monthly planner. 

Decorating the planner is another attractive section. 

Using different colored pens and highlighters, you can decorate your planner whatever you want.

You can write the date in blue, the to-do list in black and study time in pink.

It is all your choice.

Some people prefer to attach stickers, some people like to draw, and others prefer nothing on it.

Writing famous sayings for self-motivation can be another suggestion too. 

Writing a planner has so many benefits.

How about starting to write a planner from 2022?

It will make you manage your time efficiently and bring you less stress as you know what to do.
