Selecting an Effective Planner

When choosing a good planner to help you focus and organize your schedule and life plan, please take the following into account:

Type and format of the planner is your choice. However we recommend that the planner you choose have the following features:

Convenient size for ease of transportation and use.
Ample space to record daily appointments and obligations
Space to record “Top Three” Goal activities for week and/or day
Space to record a “To Do List” that can be checked off as items are completed.
A section allowing you to track Annual, Quarterly, and Monthly Goals
A section allowing you to manage weekly goal activities

We recommend using Michael Hyatt’s FULL FOCUS PLANNER. It offers these features at a price we have found to be extremely reasonable when compared to other items on the market. The Planner can be ordered using the link shown above.
