Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Self Planner different from other planners on the market?
The Self Planner stands out because it's more than just a place to jot down appointments and to-do lists. It's a comprehensive tool designed to help you achieve your goals, boost productivity, and foster personal growth.
Unlike traditional planners, the Self Planner incorporates science-backed strategies for effective time management and goal setting.
Studies have shown that structured time management and goal-setting techniques can significantly enhance productivity and well-being by providing clarity and motivation (PLOS) (McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning). With dedicated sections for reflection, habit tracking, and goal breakdowns, it’s designed to help you become the best version of yourself.
Is the Self Planner suitable for both personal and professional use?
Absolutely! The Self Planner is designed to be versatile and adaptable to any aspect of your life. Whether you're aiming to improve your career, nurture personal relationships, or enhance your well-being, this planner provides the tools you need to balance and achieve your goals.
With sections dedicated to different life areas, you can seamlessly integrate your personal and professional aspirations, ensuring a holistic approach to your development. Effective time management principles, such as those advocated by leading academic institutions, emphasize the importance of balancing various life aspects for overall success and well-being (McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning).
How does the Self Planner incorporate habit tracking?
The Self Planner includes a built-in habit tracker that allows you to monitor and cultivate positive habits over time. By identifying key habits that support your goals and logging your progress daily, you can visualize your consistency and stay motivated.
Studies have shown that habit tracking can significantly improve adherence to new behaviors by providing immediate feedback and reinforcing positive actions (PositivePsychology.com) (McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning).
The planner also encourages you to reflect on your habits, helping you identify patterns and make necessary adjustments to ensure you're on the right track. This feature is essential for building sustainable, long-term success in both your personal and professional life.
What's the difference between the Self Journal and Self Planner?
Both tools help you get more done, but in different ways. The Journal is for focused, short-term goals. The Planner is for broader, longer-term organization.
The Self Journal:
- 3-month timeframe
- Built for tackling specific goals
- Breaks big objectives into daily steps
- Features daily and weekly planning
- Includes goal-setting, gratitude, and progress checks
- Helps you form good habits
Self Planner:
- Lasts 6 months
- Designed for flexible planning
- Gives you more freedom in managing time and tasks
- Focuses on monthly and weekly planning
- Includes project planning and priority-setting
- Aims to boost overall productivity
Choose based on how you like to work. Want structure for a big goal? Go with the Self Journal. Prefer a more open-ended approach? The Planner's your best bet.
Either way, you're taking a step towards being more productive. And that's what counts.
Is there scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of analogue tools?
Yes, it's scientifically proven that the act of writing down your goals makes you more likely to achieve them. A study by Dr. Gail Matthews at the Dominican University of California found that people who wrote down their goals, shared them with a friend, and sent weekly updates were significantly more successful in achieving their goals. Moreover, several studies highlight the cognitive benefits of using analogue tools:
- Improved Creativity and Idea Quality: Research by Michinov (2012) shows that brainwriting on paper can lead to better creative performance compared to electronic brainstorming.
- Better Focus and Retention: Studies by Baron (2017) and Clinton (2019) indicate that reading and writing on paper enhances concentration and information retention compared to digital screens.
These findings suggest that using a physical planner like the Self Journal can significantly enhance your productivity and goal achievement by leveraging the cognitive advantages of analogue tools.
What is the BestSelf Benchmark and how does it help?
The BestSelf Benchmark is a unique feature of the Self Planner that helps you assess your current status across various areas of your life.
By providing a clear picture of where you are now, it enables you to set realistic and meaningful goals. The Benchmark covers essential life domains, such as career, relationships, health, and personal growth, allowing you to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
This holistic approach ensures that your goals are well-rounded and aligned with your overall vision for your life. Research supports the importance of self-assessment in effective goal setting, as it provides the necessary insights to create actionable and achievable plans (PLOS) (PositivePsychology.com).
