So the usual planner that I happened to use through a big part of my professional and that I still see a lot of people around using is called the Franklin Planner.
It could look somewhat like this:
Or may be like this:
Two things about this kind of planner. It assumes perfect memory. That is, you can recall all the tasks at will. And it assumes that you can exactly slot each of the tasks to a particular time.
If recalling at will from memory could be relied upon so well, school exams would be real fun. And besides, whether the time-hours are explicitly mentioned or not, you would slot the tasks anyway during the workday as you deem fit. Human behavior defies time-slotting except when it's vacation time.
It is the assumption of perfect memory that proves a detriment to great execution. More often than not, recalling all the tasks isn't easy. Though something resides in the memory, we don't necessarily retrieve it easily, as and when desired. And without good retrieval from memory, there can be no planning.
Retrieval from memory requires appropriate tools. Which is what Cockpit AIT Planner offers in the form of universal prompts classified under Action, Interaction and Transaction. These prompts aid one to recall easily the necessary tasks and note them down early in the morning. If planning is what your execution is dependent on, here's the right thing to start with.
