Aside from pretty-ing up your planner, productivity stickers are also a great idea to help you stay be more organized!
Let’s look at how to use planner stickers to increase productivity.
Have you used productivity planner stickers before? I’m pretty obsessed and the use for planner stickers for adults goes beyond how they look.
Why Planner Stickers Help Productivity
If you want to be more productive and maximize your time, perhaps you’ve been struggling because you’re:
1. Forgetting Things
I don’t know about you but as I get older, my memory just isn’t as sharp as it used to be! I find myself forgetting important tasks more often.
Using productivity planner stickers really helps you to visually prioritize your to-do list and ensure you don’t forget anything critical – it’s easy to see everything you need to remember.
2. Feeling Unmotivated
Some days, I just don’t feel motivated to get anything done. Especially at certain times of the month or if my mental health is affecting things.
When you use stickers in your planner, you’ll love the sense of accomplishment and progress you see and feel instantly. This also really helps to motivate you to keep going.
3. Doing Too Much
It’s so easy to get overwhelmed with trying to do too many tasks – if my to-do list is starting to get longer, it’s a tell tail sign I’m trying to do too much.
By using a planner with stickers to categorize tasks, such as business, personal, family, and appointments, you can better manage your time and make sure you don’t miss anything.
4. Procrastinating?
Ok, so when there are things that I don’t enjoy or find challenging, I can procrastinate – you too?
Using planner stickers helps you to break down large tasks into smaller, more manageable ones so you have a much greater chance of completing things and more efficiently.
5. Not Feeling Creative
If you’ve been struggling to come up with new ideas or ways to stay motivated with the ideas you already want to act on, planner stickers are for you! They’re such fun stickers for adults and kids alike.
Using stickers in your planner helps to add a beautiful creative element to your planning routine and process and gives you inspiration for new tasks and projects.

How to Use Planner Stickers to be More Productive
Here are 13 ways that using planner stickers for productivity will help you get more done:
1. Prioritize your To-Do List
Are you a list maker? I certainly am! You can use planner stickers to mark your most important tasks or appointments for the day or week.
When it comes to being more productive, let’s make your life easy! Using stickers this way to prioritize your lists will help you focus on the most urgent priorities and tasks to ensure that you don’t miss anything important.
2. Color-code Tasks
You can use different colored planner stickers to represent all of the different types of activities you want to record in your planner.
For example, you can use pink stickers for personal events, green stickers for work-related tasks, blue stickers for health appointments, and red stickers for any important deadlines. These are cool stickers for adults to try!
3. Set Reminders
I love using planner stickers that have icons, arrows or other symbols to remind me of important appointments and events.
E.g. use a birthday cake sticker to remind you of a friend’s upcoming birthday – or your own!
4. Eliminate Distractions
If you are someone who struggles with being organized, managing your time and focusing, these journal stickers for adults can be super useful to help you prioritize and follow through with the things you need to get done.
Planner stickers can also be helpful for people with ADHD as they give a visual way to increase focus and keep you engaged with your tasks.
Use stickers in planners to break down bigger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps and track your progress to completing them along the way.
5. Track your Habits
Struggling to start or stick to a habit?
Try using planner stickers to track your daily, weekly or monthly habits, such as exercise or health goals, drinking water, or self-care events. Or how about reward stickers for adults – give them a try.
Why not make habit tracking fun and easy at the same time!
6. Track your Expenses
Up-level your productivity by tracking your expenses in a fast and fun way! You could have a better chance of staying within your budget too if you use stickers to track your daily or weekly expenses.
E.g. try using a sticker in your planner with a dollar sign to mark the amount of money you spend on groceries each week. Or use a “Pay Day” or “Bill Due” sticker each time it’s upcoming too.
7. Brainstorm New Ideas
Arrange stickers on notes pates in your planner as a way to create space to brainstorm your ideas and thoughts when they come up.
It’s a fun and creative way to keep these ideas on paper so you can come back to them when you need the inspiration.
8. Decorate your Goal-Setting
Who said goal-setting and tracking needs to be boring – not me! Try using planner stickers to set and track goals in your planner pages to make them more fun and engaging.
Perhaps you could also add motivational quote planner stickers inspire you even more to reach your goals.
9. Create a Gratitude List
I love using planner stickers to track my grateful and thankful thoughts every day – or at least at the end of every week.
It’s such a positive and uplifting experience and helps me feel even more positive and appreciative of the great things I have in my life. Try this too!
10. Productivity in the Kitchen
Have you tried using stickers to plan your meals? Meal planning stickers are some of my faves to plant the weeks meals and groceries shopping.
They can help you to eat more healthy and balanced meals as planning ahead can help us make better decisions and speed up time preparing meals.
11. Track your Progress
If you need help tracking your progress towards your goals and projects, stickers with checkmarks or checkboxes are perfect!
Track your progress towards completing a task or hitting set milestones and make the whole experience more fun and interactive.

Planning a trip? Use planner stickers to plan your vacations or even count down the days until it arrives!
While you’re away, maximize the time by scheduling in all of the sightseeing you want to do, trips to make and people to see.
