Free Daily Planner Printable That Helps You Get More Done

I am so excited to share this free daily planner printable with you. It's been so helpful to my productivity this week. I'm a huge fan of using a planner. I have 5 kids, a full-time job, a few blogs, and a side hustle. It's hard to keep everything straight and make sure I accomplish everything I need to accomplish. I spent years on the hunt for the perfect planner and spent hundreds of dollars to find a planner that would work for me. When I finally tried Day Designer, I was hooked. I've used a Day Designer planner for the last few years and absolutely love it. It helps tremendously to have a place to write down my priorities and everything I need to get done each day.

Last month, I made a few commitments that made my life even busier and I decided I need to be more efficient with my time. I regularly listen to podcasts and personal development books and in multiple books and podcasts that I listened to in March, they talked about scheduling your day. They weren't talking about planning, they were talking about actually scheduling the things on your to-do list for certain times of the day. I decided that I would try this for the month of April and assess whether or not my productivity increased.

Scheduling My Day

After my first scheduled day, I realized I needed a page where I could break things down in half-hour increments. My planner has a timed section on the left hand side of each page, but it's broken down into 1 hour segments and that didn't work for me. I set out looking for a daily planner printable that was broken down into half hour segments, but I couldn't find one that started at 5am…the time I usually wake up. It probably wouldn't be that big of a deal, but my first 2 hours of my day are often my most productive and I wanted to be able to plan them as efficiently as possible.

Breaking My Day Into Half Hour Chunks

When I couldn't find a free printable daily planner online that was broken into half hour chunks, I did what I usually do…I created my own printable daily planner. And I LOVE it!!!! It has worked sooooo well. I literally have been floored by how well it has worked and how much I've accomplished in the last few days.

And since I'm loving it so much, I figured I'd share it with you guys too! After all, what busy mom couldn't use a little help getting more accomplished?!? In case you're wondering, I'm not planning on ditching my Day Designer. I'll still use that to write down what I need to accomplish, but every night before bed, I'm using my printable daily planner to schedule the next day.
