Must Have Lists to Keep in Your Planner

Are you a list lover? Because I am! This blog has some of the lists I simply must have in my planner and how I keep them in check.

To-do List

What is a planner without a to-do list? In my bullet journal I use my daily-logs for my to-do list. I have also used weekly view in my Passion Planner as my to-do list. I find it so satisfying to tick off my to-do’s throughout the day. I list mine in time order but you might do it in order of importance, from small to big or simply as they pop into your head!

We have a FREE printable planner which has a to-do list included. You can download it here.

Shopping List

I carry my planner around in my bag so I find it helpful to keep my shopping list in it. I normally write this on a separate piece of paper and slide it in with the corresponding week. You could however make a space within your planner or Bullet Journal for your shopping list.

Reading List

I have a long list of books I would like to read. Although I do always have a book on the go, my list still grows! I often take recommendations from people I follow on instagram but a few day’s later, I have forgotten the name of the book..disaster! My reading list in my planner has been life changing. When I visit my local book shop I pull out my reading list and purchase my top 5 to keep me going. This also ensures I keep up my reading because like any habit it takes effort.

Here are some examples of reading list layouts:

Netflix List

We have all had to stay at home a lot last year/this year. My subscription to Netflix has become an essential expense! I started a list much like my book list of programs, movies and documentaries I would like to watch! I recently watched the movie Soul because it was on my list and it was fantastic!

Adventure List

My adventure list is very important to me. It is full of things I would like to do in the future! It used to be mostly travel destinations but now it is things that I would like to when with my friends and family. Here are some examples of my own adventures that I am looking forward to experiencing:
