About the Weekly Planner Template
A weekly planner makes it easy for people and teams to plan, organize, and manage their entire week. Whether you’re rigorous about scheduling or you struggle to keep your calendar updated, you’ll benefit from using this weekly schedule template.
How to use the weekly planner template
Making a weekly planner is easy with Miro's template. Get started by selecting the weekly planner template, then take the following steps to make it your own:
1. Think about your weekly goals
Are you looking for a simple overview of your week? Do you need space to take notes? Before you start selecting layouts for your planner, it’s important to understand exactly how you’re going to use it.
2. Customize your planner
The weekly planner template allows you to add columns for your weekly to-do lists, priorities, and goals. Depending on your needs, add sections as necessary. Once you add cards for your to-do list items, you can drag them around, add tags, change colors, and assign things to yourself or others.
3. Start using your planner
Once everything has been added to your schedule, you can start completing your work! It's easy to keep the planner up-to-date and share with your town to give visibility over your work and time.
When to use a weekly planner
Weekly planning is a powerful tool for managing your personal and professional calendars. Whether you’re setting up a virtual coffee date or scheduling an important meeting, use your weekly planner to stay on track.
Let’s outline some common scenarios where weekly schedule planners would be beneficial.
Managing deadlines. Everyone needs to be aware of upcoming deadlines throughout the week. Using a weekly planner, you can keep track of your deadlines in one location. As a result, you can plan your workload accordingly.
Organizing your workload. With a weekly schedule, you can organize your entire workload for that week. It creates clarity for yourself and your colleagues and helps you focus on one task at a time without getting overwhelmed. Plan what tasks need to happen throughout the week.
To prioritize your to-do list. If you have a lot of tasks to complete or conflicting deadlines, prioritization is key. Using a weekly planner, you can flag tasks as important or urgent when they take priority over other tasks.
What should a weekly planner include?
Every planner is different, so it’s hard to say exactly what a weekly planner should include. However, some key elements will always crop up in a simple weekly planner:
Deadlines. Milestones and deadlines make it clear when certain tasks or actions must be completed.
Timelines. Having time frames in your weekly planner shows how long a certain project or task should take. This is particularly helpful for project managers.
Task information. This provides users with additional information about what the task involves. With Miro, you can add files, comments, and other visual notes directly into the schedule.
Priority level. A low, medium, and high-priority system allows you to focus on the most important work.
Assignee. If you’re using a shared weekly template, it helps to see who has been assigned certain tasks.
Can a weekly planner make your week more productive?
Yes, it can — but only if you use it effectively. By planning out the week ahead, you make sure that your time is spent efficiently. It also helps you focus on what needs to be done each day of the week. You start the day knowing what you have to finish by the end of that day, and you can focus all your attention on getting it done. On the flip side, a weekly schedule can result in overscheduling. There’s a fine line between being productive with your time and burning yourself out, so it’s important to figure out how much work you can realistically do in a week.
How do I make a weekly planner printable?
With Miro, you can create your schedule online with our Weekly Planner Template and download it into a PDF format ready for printing. But before you go ahead and print your weekly schedule, hold on. Using your weekly schedule online has a lot of benefits that are worth thinking about. If your weekly schedule remains online, it’s easier to update. You have real-time access to your schedule and any changes you’ve made to it. You can also share it with your team, helping you to collaborate better.

Project Charter Template
Works best for:
Project Management, Documentation, Strategic Planning
Project managers rely on project charters as a source of truth for the details of a project. Project charters explain the core objectives, scope, team members and more involved in a project. For an organized project management, charters can be useful to align everyone around a shared understanding of the objectives, strategies and deliverables for a project of any scope. This template ensures that you document all aspects of a project so all stakeholders are informed and on the same page. Always know where your project is going, its purpose, and its scope.
4P Marketing Mix Template
Works best for:
Marketing, Brainstorming, Workshops
Product, Place, Promotions, and Price. Starting with this template (and those 4Ps) you can choose the best way to take your product or service to market. The secret is to create just the right mix—deciding how much each P needs in terms of investment, attention, and resources. That will help you build your strengths, adapt to the market, and collaborate with partners. And our tool is the perfect canvas to create your marketing mix and share with teams and across your organization.
Jobs to be Done template
Works best for:
Ideation, Design Thinking, Brainstorming
It’s all about a job done right — customers “hire” a product or service to do a “job,” and if it's not done right, the customer will find someone to do it better. Built on that simple premise, the Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) framework helps entrepreneurs, start-ups, and business managers define who their customer is and see unmet needs in the market. A standard job story lets you see things from your customers’ perspective by telling their story with a “When I…I Want To…So That I …” story structure.

With a focus on user-centric design and iterative development, teams can deliver high-quality solutions that meet user needs and drive business value.
