A planner is supposed to be your organizer. So, you have to arrange it. Think of the parts about reading that you want to keep track of. Do you want to list your favorite quotes and lines from a book? Do you want to track when you started and finished reading a book? Do you want to make a monthly reading list? Brainstorm about these things and list them on paper. 

3. Divide the Planner into Sections

After you create a draft of the things that you want to track about reading, divide your planner into sections. Make sure that you give individual pages for each category. Categories like: Books to Read, Books to Buy, and To Do List  Planner in Reading. How you outline the page will depend on the category you have. For example, you have to make a page for your reading log. Then, you can divide the page around five columns. After that, write headers for each column: Book Title, No. of Pages, Word Count, Start Date, and End Date. How you want to organize each category on each page depends on your taste. You can make a column, a box, a circle. 

4. Design the Planner

Some people want their planner to be creative; some want theirs to be simple. If you think that designing your planner encourages you to use it often, then go for it. You can add planner stickers, a memo pad, or a photo of a cute cat. Design the book cover and each page inside it. Don't limit your DIY designing, do what you want, it's yours after all. 

5. Fill the Planner
