Happy National Social Worker Month! In honor of the month I thought I would share a newer planner that my aunt introduced me to recently. This planner is amazing! It is called a Passion Planner. The concept behind it is to allow you to focus in on your main personal and work related projects. The planner uses mapping (for those of us visual planners) to set your main work goals and break them down into yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily plans. In order to completely understand the mapping process go to http://www.passionplanner.com/what-is-it/. The process of the planner is explained incredibly well there.
The great part of this planner is that it separates into work and personal to - do lists. I know us social workers especially have to juggle client appointments, work projects, case notes, and personal things going on. It especially gets crazy when client appointments occur on evenings or weekends. This breaks down into monthly work to do lists (for those bigger projects), weekly to do lists (for case notes), and daily incremented schedules so you can fill in appointments. This planner is wonderful for social work but it is also great for anyone who has a lot on their plate. For anyone who likes their quotes and doodles there is the ability to add your own personal touch as well:) Feel free to look at how I did mine a couple of week's ago. It is more detailed but I had to use the sticky notes to cover up client appointments for HIPAA and confidentiality.
