Like most of us, you probably start the week strong, determined to get as many things done as possible.
However, as the weekend approaches, you realize that you’ve accomplished very little when it comes to your priority tasks. It seems like all the time you had was used on non-priority tasks.
You might be wondering, “How could this be?”
No matter how much you clarify your intentions, if you don’t have a solid plan, things will most likely go awry.
You may have heard the quote, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” This applies to everything, including daily life.
So stop for a moment and envision how the coming week will go. To help you plan your week, we have collected a list of printable weekly planner templates that you can download from their creators’ sites for free.
For more flexibility in your goal setting, these planners are all undated. And some include time-blocking features to further support your goal of better productivity and increased efficiency.
