Academic Planners

Improved Time Management

There's nothing like a tangible, hand-held reminder of your most important upcoming tasks and events. In fact, it's become more important than ever to compile multiple sources of information in one place. For these reasons and more, academic planners are still the gold standard in time management for school work and functions.

A versatile and easily customizable academic planner helps students maintain a single reference point for each action item on a daily, weekly, and monthly scale. School especially presents many overlapping demands. The key to getting everything done – let alone excelling – is to keep track of important dates and keep a clear view of when to accomplish each action item.

Stress Reduction

When it comes to stress, one thing's certain: poor time management often makes deadline pressure feel much worse than it is. It's easy for students to feel overwhelmed when it's unclear what will best serve their attention at a given moment.

Fortunately, it's an easy fix with a simple and concise plan for the day ahead. The best academic planners go yet further, providing space to jot down and track personal goals, habit-building efforts, and even a separate calendar for family functions.

Enhanced Productivity

Laying out all upcoming tasks is practically necessary, especially for students with many separate classes and/or extra-curricular activities. A broad view can remind students in a glance what to prepare for, including:

• Assignments
• School supplies
• Books & materials
• Instruments, sporting gear, and artwork/supplies
• Unique transportation requirements
• Wardrobe requirements
• Field trips
• Abnormal school schedules

Key Features of an Effective Franklin Academic Planner

Dedicated Academic Layouts

It's important to choose a planner that allows as much space as possible for school-related functions. Standard planners usually provide equal space for each day, but school planners should emphasize weekdays. Pre-designated sections for different subjects are also helpful.

Goal Setting and Tracking

Academic planners are essentially wholly customizable, and not just with regards to time. Diligent use of daily planners is an effective way of setting new goals. Over time, the student can track their progress, giving them confidence in their self-development habits.

Durability and Portability

The more you rely on an academic planner, the more necessary it becomes to invest a little more in its longevity. It's also important to prioritize user-friendliness, where portability will incentivize taking and referring to it more often than not.

Who Can Benefit from a Franklin Academic Planner?

High School Students

Students getting started with more rigorous academia often feel overwhelmed organizing many different books, notebooks, handouts, and individual lesson planners. It's easy to lose track of priorities and forget which tasks require the student's immediate attention. For new students, especially, a single physical resource is often the most effective way to manage a multitude of school resources and personal demands.

College/University Students

The same principles for high school apply all the more in high-level academia. Academic planners help even the most sophisticated students do justice to lofty aspirations by emphasizing the time-management foundations that got them where they are. 

Educators

Teachers and professors face many of the same organizational challenges as students, and then some. Educators must keep track of numerous types of books and papers, such as homework, graded papers, and separate sets of tests.
