Guide

How to use an academic planner

An academic planner follows the school year instead of the calendar year, so September's deadlines and June's exams live in the same book. The key decision is the start month; after that, it's a matter of loading in each term's dates.

  1. Choose your start month

    August suits most US schools and universities, July suits people who plan over the summer, and September suits the UK and many colleges. Pick 12 months, or 18 to bridge into the next year.

  2. Fill in the semester overview

    One box per subject: the teacher, room, major assignments and exam dates. It's the page you'll check most in the first weeks.

  3. Set term goals

    The goal pages work well per term. Write one academic goal and one personal goal for the semester, and let the AI spread the milestones across the months.

  4. Track deadlines monthly

    The assignment tracker repeats every month. Move each item across as the month starts so nothing from the syllabus is forgotten.

  5. Review at the end of each month

    Note what worked, what slipped, and what next month needs. Before finals, those reviews show which subjects need the most time.

  6. Plan around exam season early

    As soon as exam dates are known, count back on the month calendar and mark when revision for each subject should start. The weekly study planner then turns that into a few sessions a week instead of one long cram.

What to include in an academic planner

An academic planner has to hold a whole school year of classes, deadlines and exams. This one includes:

Calendar

Daily, weekly and monthly pages

Dated month, week and daily pages from your chosen start month. Daily pages have an hourly schedule, a classes-and-homework table with your subjects, a due-soon list and notes.

School

School

Semester overviews, class schedules, a monthly assignment tracker, exam planners and a grade tracker built for a school year.

  • Class Schedule · 2 pages
  • Semester Overview · 2 pages
  • Assignment Tracker · every month
  • Exam Planner · 2 pages
  • Grade Tracker · 2 pages
Study

Study

Weekly study planners, focus-session pages and lecture or reading notes, for revision that starts before exam week.

  • Study Planner · every week
  • Focus Sessions · 12 pages
  • Lecture / Reading Notes · 30 pages
Goals

Goals

Goal pages and quarterly resets line up well with terms: set goals in August, reset in January.

  • Vision Board · 1 page
  • Goal Planner · 4 pages
  • Quarterly Reset · 4 pages
  • Year in Review · 1 page
Review

Monthly Reviews

A monthly review page helps you spot a slipping subject while there's still time to fix it.

  • Monthly Review · every month

Every section can be switched off in the builder, and sections from other planners can be added.

Digital vs printable academic planner

A digital academic planner is handy if you take notes on a tablet already: your planner and lecture notes sit in the same app, and links get you from a due date to that week in one tap.

A printable academic planner suits a desk at home or a school that doesn't allow tablets. A full year with daily pages is long, so many students print the month and week pages and keep the daily pages digital, or switch daily pages off before printing.

An example week in an academic planner

One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

Questions

Academic planner questions

Read the full FAQ
Can I start in September instead?

Yes — pick any start month and choose 12 or 18 months.

Is there an undated version?

Switch off 'Dated' in the builder for an undated planner you can start any time.

Is there a free academic planner?

You can build this academic planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.

Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?

Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.

Can I print the academic planner?

Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the academic planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.

Does the AI fill in the academic planner for me?

Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.

How many pages is the academic planner?

With the default settings it comes to about 592 pages. That includes 12 month pages, 53 weekly pages, 365 daily pages, the School, Study, Goals and Monthly Reviews pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off daily pages or sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.

Make it yours in about a minute.

Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
