If your planner has blank pages for you to decorate it however you want, a mood board that reflects your personality and interests is a good way to spruce up a boring planner.

You can use stickers, cut outs from magazines, washi tapes, dried flowers, leaves and many more! Include your favourite quotes and encouraging phrases for some pick-me-up when the going gets tough. Just let your creative juices flow to create a one-of-a-kind mood board that belongs only to you.

#2 Doodle away

For those who have a flair for art and can draw well, you should definitely consider decorating your planner with your own drawings! Use blank or bullet pages to draw things that will encourage you to keep working hard in 2020.

It's definitely a tedious process but you can slowly fill your planner as the months go by.

#3 Weekly meal plan

If one of your 2020 new year resolutions is to lose weight or go on a healthy diet, having a weekly meal prep page in your planner will help make you a step closer to your goal.

We recommend following the image above. Use sticky notes to plan for the week so that once the week is over, you can just remove the notes and stick new ones on. This way, you won't have to redraw a meal prep page for every week.

#4 Monthly mood tracker

Why not consider putting your mental health first in 2020? Use your planner as a diary too if you don't like having two separate notebooks.

You can easily find monthly mood tracker templates online that allows you to track how you feel on each day. Print out and attach them to your planner for easy tracking.

#5 Spending log

One of the most common new year resolutions is to save more money and spend less. It's definitely not easy especially if you are one of those who crave instant gratification. So, use a spending log to track your expenses and see if you spend more on things that are needed in life or simply because you want them.

This is a great way for you to see and plan how to cut down your expenses for the following month.

Which of these ideas will you be incorporating into your 2020 planner?
