What Is A Planner Dashboard?

Are you ready to say goodbye to traditional sticky notes (that don't always stick) or scribbled notes attached to your planner with a paperclip? Then you're in luck! Not only can these be tricky to keep track of, but they can also make your planner look super messy.

Planner dashboards are the perfect solution for anyone who wants to add some extra functionality to their planner - and they're much more reliable than your typical sticky notes. You can even buy dashboards that are tailor-made for specific purposes! That means you can take the stress out of planning another aspect of your life and instead focus on staying on track to meet your goals.

A planner dashboard is a page or accessory in a planner that helps you keep track of specific things or gives a quick overview of important tasks or goals. These handy planner inserts can usually be added to your planner wherever you choose, and some (like Plum Paper's dashboards) are even reusable for a more convenient way to stay on top of your planning.

Planner dashboards are designed to meet different planning needs. For instance, they may help to keep track of your baby's schedule or daily tasks like homework.

The basic idea is to have everything you need in one place, so your planner] isn't just about dates and deadlines. Instead, you can add your own personal touch to your planning tool to reflect what matters in your life.

But why should you add a dashboard to your list of must-have planner supplies?

One of the best things about dashboards is that they're great for organization. They help you to break your big, messy to-do list down into clear and manageable sections. You can also use them to personalize your planner to meet all of your needs.

For example, a custom teacher planner doesn't always include space for lifestyle planning. But, if you have a lifestyle-based dashboard, you can include it in your current planner. In turn, you won't need to try and keep track of other tasks and activities in multiple places.

Of course, it also means you'll actually use your planner rather than lose motivation because it doesn't meet all your needs.

Types Of Planner Dashboards

One of the greatest things about planner dashboards is that you can get a multitude of types. That means that no matter what you want to track, organize, or plan, there's a dashboard that will suit your needs to a tee.

Social media dashboards

If you're a content creator, social media enthusiast, or even a marketer in the digital space, then having a space to plan posts and track their impact is invaluable.

With this dashboard, you'll have enough space to plan your goals for the week and dedicated sections for the type of post, description of what you posted, and the feedback from your audience. In fact, if you're a tech-savvy socialite, then our social media dashboard is the perfect planner companion.

To help you think about the impact your posts are having and even plan future posts, we've also included a handy 'Reflection' section. This will encourage you to be more mindful about what you post or the best time to schedule your content for optimal feedback.

Homework dashboards

As a student, staying organized can be tough. You have plenty of things on your plate - from classes to afterschool activities and social events that you just can't miss.

Of course, having an academic planner is a fantastic way to keep on track with everything you need to do throughout the school year. But what if you could make it even easier to achieve your academic goals? Well, with a homework dashboard, you can do just that!

This dashboard layout is designed to keep track of your daily homework, with extra space for weekend days. You can use these to prep for the coming week or remind yourself of important activities or events you have planned for your weekend. There's also a section to prioritize your week so you can take your organization to the next level.

Weekly overview dashboards

Sometimes, keeping up with our day-to-day responsibilities like cooking, grocery shopping, family activities, or work can be exhausting. We get it! Running a household can be tricky - even if you're single and living on your own. Well, the easiest way to stay on top of your daily or weekly chores is to plan for them.

But rather than taking up room in your planner pages, you can use a weekly dashboard to save space and reuse the same layout week after week. They can also come in handy if you prefer weekly planning over monthly calendars.

These dashboards have everything you need, with to-do lists, meal-prepping sections, and even space for your shopping list. There's also a section for notes where you can reflect on your day, remind yourself of important dates, or simply write motivational quotes to help you get through your weekly tasks.

FAQs

What is the difference between a dashboard and a divider?

A planner divider is a great way to keep your planner organized, as it separates your planner into different sections (such as lifestyle, work, wellness, and travel).

Unlike planner dividers, you can use dashboards for other planning and organizational tasks. Plus, you can add them to your planner anywhere you'd like! It also means you won't necessarily have to dedicate an entire section of your planner to a specific subject.

Can I use more than one dashboard in my planner?

You can use as many dashboards in your planner as you'd like! Since they're straightforward and aren't as detailed as dedicated planner sections, you can easily add and keep track of multiple different dashboards.

For example, you can use one to plan your week out or create general to-do lists, and focus on your weekly wellness goals without getting mixed up. You may even want to add a third dashboard to track your business' sales for the week! Ultimately, your planner dashboard ideas are all dependent on you and your lifestyle.

Are Plum Paper dashboards reusable?

Absolutely! Our dashboards are designed to be used and wiped so you can start fresh every week. That means you can keep using them even when you buy a new yearly planner.
