Vertical Weekly Planner
Since this template is split in the middle, I like to use the left column for daily commitments and daily tasks and the right column for weekly tasks that are not related to a particular day. I usually have one section for things that I must get done that week and in the middle of the right column I have another section for things I would like to get done that week. The template is very flexible and works well for me.
Horizontal Weekly Planner
The following weekly planner template has everything you need to plan your week: weekly goals, top 3 priorities, to-do list, next weeks list (I like to use this section for things I don’t want to forget to do but won’t manage to do this week), healthy habit for the week, water intake tracker and space for appointments each week. If you use the Word version you can change the sections or titles.

Productive Weekly To-Do List
This weekly to-do list helps you set your top three tasks or priorities for each day and to focus on them. However, it reminds you to set a few minutes each day for reflection in the morning to set your day and in the evening to focus on your accomplishments and draw conclusions for the future. There is also a small section for gratitude to remind you to spend a moment being grateful. See the benefits of gratitude. This will keep you focused and balanced.
The 12 Week Year Weekly Plan
According to the authors of the 12-week year, most people are capable of greatly improving their lives and they already know how to do this. All they need to do is to consistently do the tasks that need to be performed to get where they want to go. The weekly plan is one of the tools to ensure they do what needs to be done. The weekly plan lists the critical strategic tasks that you need to complete in order for you to achieve your goals. Next to each action, you add a score. At the end of the week, you use this score to measure what percentage of your tasks you completed. This weekly scorecard will keep you accountable and productive.

How to Make Your Week More Productive
Before you make a list of tasks ask yourself which projects you want to prioritize this week. Include the tasks you need to do to complete these projects or get them started.
Before you start planning your week, review your previous weekly plan if you have one. Go over each task you didn’t complete and ask yourself why. Is it still relevant? Is it a waste of your time? If you still need to complete that task, then move it over to the current week. If not, devote a few minutes to think about how it made it to your list and what you can do in the future to be more focused.
Avoid distractions. If you feel you are not as productive as you could be then you must be very careful about what you include in your list. If a task doesn’t help you achieve one of your goals (see goal chart) or if it is not something you have to do then don’t waste your time doing it.

What to include in your weekly planner template?
You can either use a ready-made template or add each of the following widgets to your printable planner with our free planner maker app. Add as many as you want to one page. Drag them anywhere and make each one bigger or smaller.
To-Do List
If you have a lot of tasks to do then you might prefer a stand-alone weekly to-do list. If you want to add a checklist widget to your weekly planner template, then this is the section you will use.
Daily reflection
Some of the planner templates have a section for daily reflection. If you choose a template that doesn’t have one, you can still add it.
Gratitude List
If you don’t have a dedicated gratitude list in your planner, then you can use add a gratitude list to your weekly planner printable.
Even if you do have a dedicated list, you can still add a gratitude section to your planner. Sometimes, life gets hectic and stressful and during those periods we might only use a weekly calendar and not use our gratitude list. When gratitude is integrated into our planner then it increases the chances that we actually use it. When life is hectic and stressful, expressing gratitude can be really helpful. It forces you to start thinking about what you have and what you should appreciate instead of the reason you are stressed.
See the benefits of keeping a gratitude list.
Hourly schedule
Some of the weekly templates include an hourly schedule. People with scheduled meetings and appointments will probably always want to include a daily schedule in their weekly planner template. It will enable them to schedule their meetings and appointments each day. However, even those who do not have any scheduled meetings will benefit from a time schedule. When you have the whole day to do something with no commitments, you might find that you get less done. I know that when I have a busy schedule, I am more likely to exercise than when I am free all day. Why? Because when I know I will be busy all day, I schedule my exercise beforehand and make sure it happens. I often realize that if I don’t work out first thing in the morning, then I won’t work out that day, so I do it. However, when I don’t schedule a workout then I put it off all day and it usually just doesn’t happen.
Use an hourly schedule template to plan your week ahead of time hour by hour. Schedule all of the things you want to do that day. Add workout sessions, yoga or meditation, meetings, work schedule, appointments, and any tasks you want to get done that done. You will find that you get a lot more done! See hourly planner.
Meal Plan
When you are trying to eat healthy food, change your lifestyle, or stick to a certain diet then adding a meal plan template will greatly increase your chances of success. Planning each meal ahead of time will ensure that you eat what you intended to eat each day. When you don’t have the food that you wanted to eat available then you might land up eating junk food that is always readily available. You can either print a dedicated meal plan or add a meal plan section to your planner. Planning your meals for one week ahead ensures that your meals are not repetitive or boring and that you are eating a variety of foods.
Water Intake
Most people don’t drink enough water. Including a water tracker in your weekly planner will most likely increase your daily water intake.
Journal/Notes
Allocating a section for notes or journaling enables you to write down thoughts each day of the week. You don’t need to keep a journal to repeat the benefits of journaling such as stress reduction, improving your mood, and overall well-being. Not everyone has time to keep a journal and use it every day. However, dedicating a small section for notes on your weekly planner template might be all you need. Write about what happened throughout the day, what you did, how you felt, what bothered you, etc. See journal template.
Motivational Quotes
There is an option to add ready-made motivational quotes to your planner with our free planner app. You can, of course, simply type a quote if you don’t see it in the quote gallery. Quotes are motivational and inspiring. They can boost your confidence and uplift your spirit.
Calendar
You might want to include a monthly calendar on your weekly calendar template. You can insert a weekly, monthly, or yearly calendar with one click of your mouse.
Mood Tracker
Some people like to track their mood on a daily basis. We offer mood trackers that you can add and mark your mood each day. You can elaborate in the journal or note section if you add one. If you add a mood tracker to your weekly planner then you can track your mood over the entire week and find patterns. You can also check your journal section to remind you what might have caused the specific mood if you are unsure.
Tip:
If your weekly schedule doesn’t change each week, then you might want to laminate the printable planner so that it lasts all year. You can also laminate an empty template with no text and add your appointments and meetings each week with an erasable marker.
