Benefits of an undated planner
1. Flexibility
Fans of undated planners love the ability to plan and organize their weeks and months, at their own pace.
If you have an unconventional schedule, like a freelancer or events planner or student. Sometimes we have hectic weeks and other times we have long stretches of time with nothing to do(For example, teachers' winter and summer vacations).
An undated planner is great for people whose schedules arent the same, day to day.
You gain all the productivity benefits of a dated planner, while still having the option to customize it according to your schedule.
2. Short term goals
Undated planners are also optimal for managing short term goals. The length of one year can seem so abstract and far away. Its easy to keep delaying your goal, telling yourself youll do it next week or next month, but then, before you know it, a whole year has passed.
Another advantage to having short term goals is that youre in a better position to assess your goals and pivot if necessary.
You can experiment and adjust as necessary, while still moving forward.
3. Side projects
If youre having trouble keeping track of the different threads of your life, you might want to consider having a separate planner for your side projects.
A separate planner gives you the space you need to focus on your project. This way, youre not overwhelming your current planner and you can keep your professional and personal projects separate. Side projects can include: Starting a creative pursuit or taking classes or monitoring your goals.
You can also use washi tape or color coding(Deselen's Planner come with stickers) to help you track your progress and give you a visual way to categorize your tasks.
