Turn ANY Planner into a Functional Planning System | The Complete Guide to Functional Planning

Ten years ago, I coined the term “functional planner,” which has since become a staple in the planner community. However, the term has often been misunderstood and misused, leading to misinformation about what a functional planner truly is and how it can enhance your productivity and organization. Today, I want to set the record straight on what a functional planner is, how it works as a complete productivity and personal organization system, and explain how you can recreate this system yourself with various planners, notebooks, or digital tools.

Hi, my name is Alexis but I’m also known as @MissTrenchcoat all across the internet. I’m an online entrepreneur who helps ambitious women plan for a balanced, successful life and business! I design productivity tools, classes and courses based on the latest productivity science and research. Welcome to my KZbin channel where I make regular videos on the topics of productivity, planning and online business to help you get all your big thoughts, plans, dreams and ideas out of your head and onto paper so you can get down to business creating your dream life! I teach a unique approach to productivity that focuses less on the daily grind and more on gaining clarity on your priorities and goals. To me, the answer to upleveling your productivity isn't hustle, hustle hustle! The answer I have found is to get your mind clear on what you want to achieve, and then creating a simple, streamlined strategy to help you make it happen. From experience I have found, if you get your head in the right place and then plan better, you will end up having to take less action which saves so much time, energy and stress! I welcome you to join me with an open mind and a notebook, because if you are ready to learn a better path to productivity, I have a lot to teach you!

I starting listening to you right when you started and I find that your videos hit different in different phases of life. Your words are so beautifully thought out

[@BlindandBujo]

Thank you for sharing this. I am a functional planner at my core. I love the simplicity of the dashboard.

[@MissTrenchcoat]

I’m so glad and I hope it helps you boost your productivity!

[@justanotherchannelxo]

I listened to you since the beginning and something guided me back here today. I think i needed this

When the student is ready, the teacher appears!

[@anne-mari7711]

Wow.. You are so right. This is what I do with an extra arc white paper folded once in my weekly spread. Brain dumps, creative ideas etc. Project planning. Task lists. When I've got everything into my planner I just let go of that paper..

[@annettefertitta6868]

You are very right about too long ago o do lists - I totally freeze if it’s too long and I don’t know where to start!

[@sourgreendolly7685]

"functional planning" is exactly what I need, can't wait for this video!

[@MissTrenchcoat]

Hope you enjoyed the video!

[@Claudia-mp3vh]

This sounds really great .. will try your Dashboard... Sadly your planer as PDF is a little expensive for me, esp because it's only for half a year now

[@jamesbriggs5740]

Most of my tasks are routine. The same things everyday. I need to redo my daily checklist. And do the priority matrix. Thanks. Kathy B

[@annettefertitta6868]

Ok, now we need the Mac and cheese recipe, please!
