Use tables to create different sections for every page. For instance, your meal plan category. For every page of your meal plan, create a table that is categorized by date and time, name, and description. This way, it's easy for you to identify what you need to eat for a certain date and time. Do the same thing for your workout tracker, but provide an extra row to make it as your checklist.
5. Be creative
Lastly, design your planner. You want to be inspired every time you use your planner, so make it look aesthetically pleasing. Use calligraphy for your labels. Be sure to include inspirational and motivational quotes to make yourself more inspired and motivated.
