New year, that means new planners right?! Well, in 2020 everyone knows plans go out the window. Here are eight tips to help you get the most of your planner and year.

Try different types of planners

There are MANY types of planners. You can use the Bullet Journaling, Technology (Google Calender), Faith Based Planners, such as Spiritual seeds planner.

Spiritual Seeds Planner is a planning tool designed to help Christians prioritize living a fruit-filled life, guided by the Holy Spirit. The Fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, and Self-Control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

The planner uses a gardening theme concentrating on four garden plots – Friends/Family, Self, Community, Vocation/Work. Each month focuses on one Fruit, detailing actions to plant + cultivate + grow.  

Actions are planned daily for the highest yield. Cute garden-themed stickers provide visuals for tracking growth. Unlike any other planner, Spiritual Seeds Planner prioritizes and plans Spiritual growth over daily “to do” lists and activities focusing on growth rather than achievement. 

Writing my Birthday in my planner!



Have fun with your planner

Use fun colors and stickers, if you like to draw, make it fun with little funny characters on days you are doing something fun.

Search planner inspiration

Use differrent hastags on social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram or Twitter, even YouTube) to search out planner inspirations, such as: #Faithplanner, #spreadtheseeds, #plannerlayout, #weeklyplanner, #spiritualseedsplanner and more.

Write down and set goals

You can write your goals for each category: (Physical health) Walk, (Mental health) Prayer, (Spiritual health) Read a chapter everyday for a month, etc.

Write down important dates ahead of time

Doctor appointments, Birthdays, Wedding Anniversary, New workout programs, Bill due dates, dinner ideas, etc.

Make “planning your planner” a routine

I like planners that can fit inside my purse because for me its easy access. For you it can be at your night stand next to your bed because you like to look at night or even before your day has started.

Go into planner planning with an open mind

Your planner doesn’t have to be perfect, know that things happen and plans change. Thank you 2020. Part of that is a change in mindset, you are creating new habits, you can even brain dump in your planner, loads of opportunities.

Pick out a planner that works for you



Plan out what exactly will you be using your planner for? Work, Spiritual, Home, Business, etc.Do you like small planners or big planners?Don’t go for the popular planners, try one that is best for you.

As I stated above the Spiritual Seeds Planner is a planning tool designed to help Christians prioritize living a fruit filled life, guided by the Holy Spirit. The Fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness and Self-Control. (Galatians 5:22-23)
