The Surprising Benefits of Positive Planners

This pad has 50 tear-off pages, and a colourful undated design to inspire, by the hour. On one side is your to-do list and the other is a daily schedule from 6am to 8pm, with space for notes to remember.

The Productivity Pad can help with time management. Get realistic by listing maximum 10 to-dos, and how long to spend on each task. This can help you constantly writing to-do lists that never get finished. And lead to burn-out.
