About the Weekly Planner Template
A weekly planner makes it easy for people and teams to plan, organize, and manage their entire week. Whether you’re rigorous about scheduling or you struggle to keep your calendar updated, you’ll benefit from using this weekly schedule template.
How to use the weekly planner template
Making a weekly planner is easy with Miro's template. Get started by selecting the weekly planner template, then take the following steps to make it your own:
1. Think about your weekly goals
Are you looking for a simple overview of your week? Do you need space to take notes? Before you start selecting layouts for your planner, it’s important to understand exactly how you’re going to use it.
2. Customize your planner
The weekly planner template allows you to add columns for your weekly to-do lists, priorities, and goals. Depending on your needs, add sections as necessary. Once you add cards for your to-do list items, you can drag them around, add tags, change colors, and assign things to yourself or others.
3. Start using your planner
Once everything has been added to your schedule, you can start completing your work! It's easy to keep the planner up-to-date and share with your town to give visibility over your work and time.
When to use a weekly planner
Weekly planning is a powerful tool for managing your personal and professional calendars. Whether you’re setting up a virtual coffee date or scheduling an important meeting, use your weekly planner to stay on track.
Let’s outline some common scenarios where weekly schedule planners would be beneficial.
Managing deadlines. Everyone needs to be aware of upcoming deadlines throughout the week. Using a weekly planner, you can keep track of your deadlines in one location. As a result, you can plan your workload accordingly.
Organizing your workload. With a weekly schedule, you can organize your entire workload for that week. It creates clarity for yourself and your colleagues and helps you focus on one task at a time without getting overwhelmed. Plan what tasks need to happen throughout the week.
To prioritize your to-do list. If you have a lot of tasks to complete or conflicting deadlines, prioritization is key. Using a weekly planner, you can flag tasks as important or urgent when they take priority over other tasks.
What should a weekly planner include?
Every planner is different, so it’s hard to say exactly what a weekly planner should include. However, some key elements will always crop up in a simple weekly planner:
Deadlines. Milestones and deadlines make it clear when certain tasks or actions must be completed.
Timelines. Having time frames in your weekly planner shows how long a certain project or task should take. This is particularly helpful for project managers.
Task information. This provides users with additional information about what the task involves. With Miro, you can add files, comments, and other visual notes directly into the schedule.
Priority level. A low, medium, and high-priority system allows you to focus on the most important work.
Assignee. If you’re using a shared weekly template, it helps to see who has been assigned certain tasks.
Can a weekly planner make your week more productive?
Yes, it can — but only if you use it effectively. By planning out the week ahead, you make sure that your time is spent efficiently. It also helps you focus on what needs to be done each day of the week. You start the day knowing what you have to finish by the end of that day, and you can focus all your attention on getting it done. On the flip side, a weekly schedule can result in overscheduling. There’s a fine line between being productive with your time and burning yourself out, so it’s important to figure out how much work you can realistically do in a week.
