Transitioning to Management

Planning the Day

It is useful to have a visual breakdown of your day on hand, to ensure you don’t miss any
important tasks, meetings or deadlines.

Benefits of Planning Your Day:

• Time Management: Planners make it easy to ensure you don’t over or underestimate the time
you have available to complete tasks, attend meetings, etc.

• Reduce Stress: With a planner, it’s easy to find time to complete new tasks, without having to
mentally keep track of your To-Do list.

• Keeping Track: Once a task or meeting has been written down in your planner you can set it
aside and focus on what you need to do at that moment.

• Productivity: Having a set time for a task allows you to focus better. Better focus may lead to
completing tasks faster and with better results.

• Handling New Demands: A quick glance at your planner will let you know when you’re free,
should a new demand arise.

• Priority Order: Once you have planned your day, complete your tasks in the order you have
prioritised them. Remain flexible to accommodate any changes that may occur as your operation
goes through its functions for the day.

The idea with using a planner is to make your day more productive and to reduce stress. Take the
time to find a planner that works for you. Below you will find several versions of Day and Week
Planners to help keep you organised.
