I was in high school when [my mom] took me to the Franklin Planner store and I purchased my very first Franklin Planner. That was my source of planning for several years, until college when I attempted several other systems. In 2020, I realized everything I was trying was just not functional or helping me be productive. I decided to go back to the system I know works.

Planning allows me to juggle the many hats I carry, without information and tasks slipping through the cracks. Other systems did not flow the same and I would often forget or lose where I had written information. Even when times are busy, I can rest easy knowing all my information has been placed in the right spot to make me the most productive the next day. I have become a go-to source for information, and my colleagues are confident that I can take in a large volume of tasks and follow through with them, thanks to my Franklin Planner.

My favorite thing about the Franklin Planner system is that there is a variety of binders and inserts in varying colors and designs, but the system remains the same. Instead of being thrown in on your own, Franklin Planner supplies plenty of online training to help you understand that system. It is reliable, and it works.
