Happy Thursday my followers. How is the New Year treating you? Are you like me trying to make plans for the day,week,month or year. One way I like to accomplice that is using planners.

Planner Basics
There are 3 main planner layouts:
- Vertical
- Horizontal
- Hourly
Horizontal Planners
- Room for writing long tasks without needing multiple lines to write those tasks
- Can split the daily planning space into 2 and still have enough room to write tasks
- People who have lists of 2-3 word tasks. Moms could fit this with tasks like “grocery store”, “pick up dry cleaning”, or “Sophie Dr. Appt.”
- People who want to use their planner in a task-oriented way instead of as a journal.
Vertical Planners

- If you have short tasks you’ll fit a lot in
- Many options for planner stickers to choose from (especially themed kits)
- This design is perfect for people who think logically from top to bottom, list-makers, and people who have a lot to keep track of during the day. People who have long task lists, such as moms or bloggers might be a good fit for this style of planner.
Hourly Planners
- Ideal for scheduling – if you’re someone that procrastinates an hourly planner will help keep you on track
- You’re not left wondering what you should be doing next – the day is all planned out for you so if you stick to the plan you know you’ll get it done
2021 Homebody Seasons Deluxe Classic Dashboard Happy Planner® – 12 Monthshttps://thehappyplanner.com/collections/happy-planners

dashboard planners
- Wider columns than vertical planners, but less dead space than in horizontal planners
- If you turn the pages back on themselves i.e. only want to view / have open one page at a time you can still see your entire week – it’s not spread out over 2 pages
What ever your choice – have fun and use you planner for making plans for 2021 :
