Hey everyone — I’m a business owner juggling a ton (client meetings, project deadlines, team tasks, personal life… you get it 😅), and I’m on the hunt for the perfect paper planner to help me keep it all together. I’ve tried using digital calendars and apps, but I always find myself coming back to pen and paper — it just helps me focus better and retain more.

I second the Full Focus planner. 

I use the Full Focus Planner for work because it helps me stay clear, focused, and intentional with my time—especially on busy days when I’m juggling multiple priorities. The daily layout encourages me to define my top 3 tasks, which keeps me from getting lost in a long to-do list. I also love the weekly preview and quarterly goal setting—it gives me a rhythm and structure to reflect and plan ahead without feeling overwhelmed.

I swear by the Full Focus Planner by Michael Hyatt. It’s specifically designed for business owners and high-performers. The goal-oriented structure really sets it apart — you break down quarterly goals and track progress daily. Each day has time-blocking, top 3 priorities, and a notes section. I’ve used it to grow my consulting biz steadily.
