Are you new to planning or interested in utilizing all that your planner offers? Then you will love this post! The monthly calendar view in most planners has to be one of the most unused pages in planners. Why? You probably never thought about what all you could do with it!
Honestly, a year ago, mine was blank until I came across a planner using her calendar view as her “memory of the day,” so I started doing that in Fall 2021, and it’s probably one of my favorite things about my planner now! You can view a past month here.
Without further ado, here are 50 + practical ideas to fill up the monthly calendar view in your planner! Prefer to watch the video version of this blog post? Check out my Youtube video here.
