Spring semester may already be in full swing, but it is never too late to start preparing for the exams ahead. Planners are a great way to keep track of assignment due dates, studying time and work schedules while helping visualize your day and balance out your life.

Thankfully, Pinterest is full of helpful advice to help you figure out your schedule.

  1. Bullet journal

The internet has become obsessed with bullet journaling, and it’s easy to see why.

If you love being creative and want the ability to fully customize your planner with everything you need to lead an organized life, the bullet journal may be the one for you.

Pinterest is full of inspiration for layouts and other ideas, and starting a bullet journal is as easy as finding a blank notebook.

  1. Passion Planner

Created by Angelia Trinidad, Passion Planner seeks to help people reach their goals by breaking them down into actionable steps.

The Passion Planner is perfect for goal-oriented individuals who are looking for an extra guide to help them along the way. For those who want to do a bullet journal but do not have time to commit, the Passion Planner is a close alternative.

Additionally, as the Passion Planner family understands that not everyone can afford to buy a physical planner, if you share Passion Planner on any social media platform, they will allow you access to the full PDF download of the planner, for free.
