It is best to have a daily planner because you can break your day into small chunks of time. We are all given 24 hours of currency everyday but we don't have to use it all the same way! Use your daily planner to schedule meetings, set reminders about bills due, fulfill homework assignments, track fitness goals, schedule vacation time, and other essential life tasks. It is nice to know that you have a plan everyday and not just randomly following tasks for the day. The daily planner is small so you can carry it with you wherever your plans take you.
