And includes planners you can open in book form, or stick on your kitchen or office wall.
Environmental benefits of plastic-free planners
Plastic is made from oil. So these planners ensure you are not supporting policies that create climate change or even wars. And at end of use, they naturally break down to go back to the earth, without shedding microplastics in bins and landfills, or in oceans.
It also takes far less energy to produce recycled paper planners, than new. And supports circular economies, something that’s always good!
There are even ‘corner stickers’ you can use, also made from biodegradable materials in plastic-free packaging.
Why use a diary or planner?
Life is complicated these days. So using a diary or planner, is a great way to keep track of appointments and goals, and give you a clear vision on how you would like your life to look either in the next few weeks or months, or even years. It gives you a good roadmap to get there, especially if you don’t have others ‘cheering you on’.
Planners and diaries are good to:
- Reduce mental clutter (once down on paper, you can forget about it, and clear your head).
- Help not to forget things. Ideal if you’re a bit of an amnesiac!
- Breaks down large goals into small steps.
- Lets you practice mindfulness and gratitude
- A paper planner is a good way to ‘get offline’ and work things out with pen and paper, for a nice change!
Builds accountability. If you’re always writing lists for things that never get done, this can visually force you to confront daily progress, or lack of.
