So one of the things that I've gone back to, is using a paper planner, after using a digital planner for many, many years.

And the reason for that is, there is something about writing things down, especially as a creative person, or as somebody who has mild ADD., that really just helps me clarify my thinking, and in a way that just doing it digitally doesn't do it.

It also takes away a lot of the distractions of working exclusively in a digital space.

Because I can be sitting there in Todoist if I'm on my computer, putting in my todo’s, and something might pop up if I don't have my notifications turned off or something like that, and I can end up being distracted.

There's just something about sitting down, and I usually do this on the sofa, writing things down, imagining my day, visualizing my day, setting priorities, putting pen to paper, that just works with my mind, with my (ADD) brain.

So everything I do starts on paper first.

And once I've written it in either the Productivity Planner or the Full Focus Planner, I then transfer that to Todoist for my digital synchronization with my Pomo timer.

So, if you've not used a paper planner, the two that I recommend are the Full Focus Planner by Michael Hyatt Company, and the Productivity Planner by Intelligent Change.

And I'm going to go through both of these and talk about some of the benefits and why you might prefer the Full Focus Planner or the simplified Productivity Planner. And then you can choose which one might work best for you.
