In spite of appointments being plugged in to my Calendar app on my iPhone, I do use this notebook to remind me of upcoming appointments, e.g. The left side has tasks, trivial and important, from financial reminders to reminders to pack a toothbrush. My personal planner works in a similar manner as my professional planner. I have a life outside of work and things I have to get done. The need for the separate weekly planner is to let me not be overwhelmed by the things I have going on at the office when I’m not at work, not to mention that I have literally zero time available (even if I wanted to) to complete personal errands while at work. My personal planner helps me keep track of my work life outside of the office. I also write out reflections, reminders to myself, and questions to further help me in my personal and professional growth as a social worker.

On the right hand side, I have ample room to take notes from my weekly meetings that are not client-specific or HIPAA-violating which includes things such as policy changes, upcoming tasks, reminders to register for a workshop, etc. screening, assessment, ongoing appointment). The left side with the individual dates are filled with tasks that is listed as client number (no names), venue where I saw them (city and/or whether it was a home or office visit), and what the purpose was of the meeting (e.g. The planner is split into two sides and I use this planner to help me with my documentation, projects, and work-related tasks, rather than to document upcoming appointments. In my professional planner, I keep note of documentation that needs to be completed and charts that are coming due. I do professional things in both capacities, but when I am off the clock, I don’t want to be reminded of the gargantuan pile of documentation that’s longing for attention at the office. I Love It So Much, I Bought Two Plannersįor 2016, I bought two planners because I have this boundary thing where I keep my work and personal life separated as much as possible. The notebook allows for me to use a hard copy planner to quickly access and visualize my tasks, with the option to digitalize it and upload it to the cloud. Moleskine got together with Evernote and kicked out a really neat and simple planner that right off the bat, I need to tell you that I love it.
