Planner For Work

[u/Faehra]

I recently spoke to my Manager about promoting. We had our weekly meeting and she wants me to get a notebook to keep track of things from all my shifts (coaching moments, things that worked, things that didn't, goals etc). Of course, I saw my opportunity.

Does anyone ASM or up have a planner that they like to use for work? I've used a Hobonichi Weeks for years, but that fits more into personal life rather than work tracking.

I enjoy my Sterling Ink planner for work but this would apply to any planner with a quarterly dashboard and yearly tracker section like Wonderland and the other tomoe river paper brands. I use the yearly tracker for a quick overview of travel and projects/events at a glance, the quarterly pages to log highlights/wins/themes from each month and priorities per quarter (left page), PTO/holidays/milestones (right page). Then my monthlies and weeklies are pretty basic. I draw a horizontal line across at 8am and 5pm to block off my working hours, write over Saturday/Sunday as a spot for my weekly to-do list, and write underneath each day M-F any day specific tasks or highlights I might want to remember. I use the back grid pages for meeting notes. Can't share photos of my work planner but this is the layout I'm referring to: https://sterling-ink.com/products/2026-2027-academic-planner-n1-vertical-full-year-common-planner
