It’s time to admit my secret habit. I love planners and I love planning! I’ve been using a personal planner for years and really think I just could not survive without one. Well, I probably could survive, but my life would be a complete mess! Plus, not only are planners a great way to organize your life, but they are also great fun.
But what are the important, most needed planner inserts every personal planner should contain? Well, I’ve put together this article to tell you what are the ‘must-have’ planner inserts. Discover the calendars, planners, trackers, schedulers, and inventories that will get you incredibly organized and boost your productivity.
The 12 Essential Planner Inserts
1. Yearly Calendar
The most important part of any personal planner is certainly the annual calendar. Whether you are booking a holiday, planning events, or setting longterm goals, you definitely need to see the coming months mapped out in front of you.
2. Monthly Planner
The monthly planner offers a more detailed breakdown of a month than the yearly calendar. It’s vital for planning social engagements, listing the days you are working, appointments, deadlines, etc
3. Weekly Planner
The weekly planner is my most used insert. Most of my work appointments and meetings are usually planned for the following week, so the weekly layout is so useful to me. It is usually available in both a one page and two-page format. If your weeks are not too hectic, the one-page layout will probably be fine. But if your weeks are as crazy as mine, get the two-page format. Down the SublimePlanners 2 Page Weekly Planner here.
4. Daily Planner
Do you ever find that there are just not enough hours in a day to get everything done? I know the feeling! Well, I used to until I started using a daily planner! For me, my problem was that I was not scheduling my day effectively. Get yourself a good daily insert, start scheduling appointments and tasks and you’ll never run out of time again!
The best daily planner inserts also include an area to list priorities, a to-do list, an area to plan your meals and snacks, and space for planning exercise. Of course I recommend our very own Sublime Planners Daily Planner. Download it now and start planning tomorrow today!
5. Habit Tracker
Would you like to improve your fitness, your diet, boost your productivity, or better your finances? Using a Habit Tracker is a very effective way to motivate you to start new daily habits that will improve your life. Examples include starting habits to improve your health such as aerobic exercise, strength training, or stretching.

6. Goal Planner
Do you have difficulty in accomplishing your goals? I did before I started using a Goal Planner. This insert makes setting goals simple and stress-free and will boost your motivation and productivity. It works by getting you to break the goal into small steps and listing the steps on the insert. Then you simply work through the steps and ticking them off when completed using the checklist.

8. Password Tracker
Nowadays, we all have a lot of usernames and passwords to remember. There are bank accounts, email accounts, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, HBO, Amazon, Netflix, Skype, WhatsApp, etc. I used to have login details scribbled in various notebooks or pieces of paper. This made finding a particular login almost impossible! This is why the Password Tracker insert is a vital addition for your personal planner. Just imagine, all your login details in one place, incredible! Download your copy of the Sublime Planners Password Tracker today!
