15 Things to Write in Your Planner (That You’ll Actually Use)

   Track what you’re loving—and what you want to recommend to your bestie.

5. Bills Due This Week
   Because nothing kills your vibe like a surprise bill.

6. Gratitude List

7. Self-Care Check-In
   Face mask? Bubble bath? Uninterrupted Target run? Yes, yes, and yes.

8. Habit Tracker
   Water, sleep, yoga, “didn’t scroll TikTok for 3 hours”… track what matters.

9. Meal Plan
   No more 5pm fridge stares wondering what to make with mustard and a single zucchini.

10. Prayer Requests or Spiritual Notes
    Keep your faith and mindset front and center.

    These are gold. Write them down before you forget.

13. Vision Board Snippets
    Cut, paste, draw or just jot down what you’re manifesting.
