If you are anything like me, there are some days you are very productive, and you feel self-accomplished, but then you have days you aren’t nearly as productive. We can sometimes get caught up in being “busy” in things that don’t matter, instead of spending time on things that do.
So I was searching for an app or product that will help me stay productive every day, not just some days.
I came across The Productivity Planner, and it sounded like the perfect match. I still wasn’t sure if it would work for me until I tried it out for a week and I noticed a dramatic increase in my productivity.
Now I have been using it for several months, and I am immensely more productive than I was before.
So I wanted to share this amazing find with you and show you the benefits of using it and how it can help to increase your productivity, so you can get more done and achieve your goals! 🙂

Pomodoro Technique
This planner uses the Pomodoro Technique. This technique was used many years ago to increase productivity.
“The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.”
Sometimes the hardest part is to simply start a task, but knowing you only need to work on that certain task for 25 minutes, gives you motivation to just start since you won’t be working for too long.
What I found when doing this is that I would work much more than just those 25 minutes. I would start to feel in flow, and I would just get the task done. This will vary by each task that you need to do.
There Is Enough Space To Write Everything Down
I love that it has enough space to write down all your tasks for the week and each day. I personally use this as my work planner since I work from home and it can be easy to get distracted. But this has helped me to stay focused on what I need to do.
Daily Check-In To Stay On Track
Daily, you rate your productivity score from 1-10. This helps you see what you are doing day by day that helps you stay more productive and it also helps you see what you can improve on as well.
This has helped me improve my productivity daily by realizing what helps me stay on track and what doesn’t.
It Has Inspirational Quotes
I enjoy that it has inspirational quotes on each page because quotes help keep you inspired and motivated. I have always loved inspirational quotes, so I was happy it had quotes throughout the planner. 🙂
Very Easy To Use and Highly Effective
This planner is very easy to use, and it’s very effective in increasing your productivity and staying organized each day.
It Explains How To Use The Planner
I appreciated that they explain in detail how to use this planner so you can get the most out of it. It also gives you great productivity tips that you can do every day, offers tips for a better to-do list, tips on how to use your breaks effectively, and it also gives you a quick guide on how to use the planner.
It Has Helped Me Beat Procrastination
Using this planner helps me beat procrastination by getting the most important tasks done first instead of getting busy with other unimportant things.
Summary
This is my personal experience with The Productivity Planner. It helps me stay organized and productive. I do think it’s a must-have if you want to get more done and feel a sense of accomplishment. I am very glad I found out about it, and I wanted to share it with you too. If you are serious about getting more done and accomplishing your goals, then the productivity planner is for you.

This is great! I do a lot on the computer, but I’m still a textile person at heart. There is something so satisfying about taking a pen and checking or crossing a task item off a list. I love that this planner has inspirational quotes too!
Yes I agree! I love checking things off in my to do list!
I love your blog by the way 🙂
Thank you for commenting!

This looks great! I’m also a paper planner girl, keeping my to-do lists on my phone meant I got distracted EVERY time I went to check something! Thanks for sharing this.
Of course, thank you for commenting! 🙂
Have a lovely day Sarah!

Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂 It’s amazing. I wish they would ship to Germany where I am located.
Aw! They don’t ship there? So sorry, I thought it was able to ship worldwide.
Sorry Simone. If I ever find out they started shipping there, I will definitely let you know! 🙂
Thank you for commenting!
Hope you have an amazing weekend

Thanks for these tips. I get so caught up in the many different planners available that it’s hard to choose sometimes. I currently have 5 and they all offer something different. It’s hard to find one planner that offers everything you’re looking for. By the way the picture for the post (as well as all your pictures on your website) are absolutely beautiful!
Aw thank you! So sweet of you ♡ Yes I get you. I have a lot of planners and notebooks to keep me organized. I just love them. I specifically like this productivity planner for work.
Thank you so much for commenting! I enjoy your blog 🙂

Loved all of your productivity tips!!! As much as I love being on the computer but I’m more of a write everything down type of person. It just seems it keeps me more organised.

This is so interesting – I knew about productivity planners but never realised there was a pomodoro technique – or any technique to them really. I just thought they were just better organised planners! xx
Yes it is very useful. I am glad you learned something new 🙂 Thanks for your comment Tereza!

We absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s
to be exactly I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content

the subjects you write about here. Again, awesome web log!
Sounds like an awesome planner! Thank you for sharing it with us.
This is great, I definitely think I am going to start using one of these planners!
For me, using a planner is a must to stay organized and to be productive. Thanks for sharing this planner and your tips.
Wow this planner sounds great, I try to use the bullet journal method but I wasn’t that good at it. I just write a list of things u need to do during the week and I mark them as I do them has worked so far
This planner sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience!
A planner for sure. I use the one you have here in the photos, white with golden dots. Especially I love that inspirational quotes at the beginning of each month. Sometimes I even create a blogpost connected to that quote.

This planner looks amazing! For me I am super visual so yes writing things down, making lists is the best way! Having a good daily to do list is essential!
I do not have this specific planner but just bought a new planner in hopes that I can stay more on top of things. I know I can implement some of these strategies into my planner. Thanks for the tips!
love it, I use a bullet journal to stay on track and focused. I find that writing it down makes it more real and I love the creative piece while I am thinking
I love that this planner has motivational quotes- I find that inspiring quotes can definitely help lift you out of a funk when you’re having a bad day
I love this blog! Saved in my bookmarks, I have the happiness journal and swear by it! Keep doing what you’re doing xxx
Congratulations on your time management planner! This is such a great gift idea for mumpreneurs 🙂 I’ll keep this in mind!

That is so sweet of you! Thank you, Christina, I truly appreciate it. You will love it! Let me know if you enjoy the planner 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful day!
We actually use the Pomodoro technique at my school. I love it! It really helps me to stay more focused. I’ve never seen the productivity planner before but I like the daily goals and tasks you can write in for yourself.
I think that it is an excellent way to be productive. I know that is something I need right now!
How awesome! I need one most days! Great post!
I love the look of the Productivity Planner, plus I’m a huge fan of the pomodoro technique. Staying focused and having a clear set of actions is what helps me be productive!
Awesome!!! God knows that I really need to be more organized… Ever since I had my second child I have been so frazzled, and feeling out of the loop!
