Planner Power: Build a Single-Source-of-Truth System (Notebooks, Planners & Pens) | DeskDen Supplies

Prologue
Productivity frays when tasks scatter. A planner system is not stationery; it is policy—one book that everything must pass through. DeskDen’s Notebooks & Planners and Pens & Writing Tools let you assemble a system that is graceful in the hand and ruthless with chaos. DeskDen Supplies

1) Choose the Spine

• Daily planner if schedule density is high; weekly if projects rule.

• Pair with a hardcover notebook for notes that outlive the week.

2) The Three-Funnel Method

• Capture: everything lands in the notebook (left page), timestamped.

• Clarify: migrate decisions to the planner (right page).

• Calendarize: appointments + deadlines live only in the planner.

3) Page Architecture (copy this)

• Today’s 3 wins (top)

• Meetings + locations (center)

• Deep-work block (one protected hour)

• Admin batch (15–30 min)

• Debrief line (what moved / what blocked)

4) Pen Discipline

• One primary pen (dark ink), one highlighter, one pencil for draftables.

• Keep the set in a desk organizer or pouch; never hunt for tools. DeskDen Supplies

5) Weekly Review (20 minutes)

☑ Close loops, archive notes
☑ Advance next steps to dates
☑ Trim the wish-list to the to-do

FAQ

Q: Digital calendar + paper planner—redundant?
A: Digital for invites and alarms; paper for thinking. The combination prevents misses and fatigue.
