I have been an Order Out of Chaos (OOOC) academic planner affiliate for six years! My son was starting high school, and my daughter was finishing middle school when they began using these excellent planners. Today, I will revisit those posts where my kids and I explored using these academic planners (Affiliate Link). Follow along and see how useful these planners are for elementary, middle, high, and college students.

TEEN ACADEMIC PLANNER TO MASTER TIME MANAGEMENT
This post discusses how my kids filled out and designed their planners. When my kids got their classes and wanted to add their subjects to the subject section, my daughter color-coded hers, but my son did not. Both kids blocked off their evening activities in the daily academic planner (Affiliate Link) section so they remembered what they had to do after school. Feel free to visit this one to see time photos and other tips.
HOW TO IMPROVE TIME MANAGEMENT WITH AN ACADEMIC PLANNER
In this post, we talked about tips for managing time for students. We also discussed the difference between the larger planner and the smaller planner. Feel free to check this post out for more student time management tips.
7 POWERFUL TIPS TO HELP ADHD STUDENTS SUCCEED IN COLLEGE
This post gives tips to help ADHD students succeed in college. The Order Out of Chaos Academic planner (Affiliate Link) was designed based on Leslie’s personal experience with her ADHD son. Read more about her story (Affiliate Link) here.
Plus, so many other back-to-school posts where I talked about the benefits of using this planner.
The Reasons I Love OOOC's Academic Planners.
An academic planner a parent would love.
I have been looking for a well-organized academic planner for years. Since I was in school, not all planners had enough sections and space to write all I had to do on a weekday. Leslie had designed this planner precisely the way I wish I had done it when I was younger. It has all the areas I was looking for in a planner, and I was so glad that I could get a copy for my kids when they were younger, so they didn't need to stumble into managing their schedule - they just did it.
Academic Planners are not just for homework anymore.
The different sections allow for a complete glimpse of the whole day and week, from school to after-school activities. It’s not just for school homework. I love that the planner has a time block section for each day.
Weekend To-Dos Area in the Planner.
I love that there is a section for Saturday and Sunday. Many kids have clubs and activities during the weekend, too. So, having a place to write things down for the weekend is also helpful.
Project Planning Guide
You get a project planning checklist (Affiliate Link) in front of the planner you can copy for classes with research or any long-term projects. It asks several questions to help you determine what to gather and do for your project.
Study Planning Guide
If you and your kids need help managing time to study, you can help them by using this Study Planning Guide. Get more copies in this Free Download called Academic Planner Worksheets.
These features are just some of what I love about the OOOC academic planners. Leslie doesn’t just have these two-size planners; she has plenty of other products to help a student be successful in school. Visit Leslie’s website to see all the products, including this awesome academic planner you can buy.
I hope this post conveys how grateful I am to Leslie for designing and making this available to countless parents and students. I hope it helps you and your family.

I am a HUGE fan of Leslie's OOOC Academic Planner. It's set up for the way real kids live their real lives, not just classes but activities, and not just weekdays from 8a-4p but every day, all day. Leslie and her planner (and her books and webinars) are the real deal. I couldn't agree with you more, Sabrina!

Thank you Sabrina and to everyone who left such a lovely comment. We are always tweaking and updating making sure we are bringing the BEST planners to students and meeting their needs!
Janet Schiesl says
I love the academic planner. Just wish they had been around when my kids were in school. They are so much better than the planners my school system uses. They allow the student to manage time for their whole day. Leslie has so much information on her website to learn and get support. Every student should check it out.
Seana Turner says
I loved Leslie's planner from the first time I saw it. Definitely agree on the larger space for Saturday and Sunday. Especially for kids, these are the days where a bunch of stuff needs to get scheduled in because the majority of the day is not taken up by school. I have a similar frustration with my own/adult planner. Come on people, I do things on the weekend too, right?
Jill Katz says
Great blog post. One of my kids also uses the Order Out Of Chaos planner! And you detailed some of the many reasons that I love it.
Diane N Quintana says
Great minds... it's so funny! I included a blurb about this planner in my review of 5 terrific organizing products for back to school. I completely agree, it is a fabulous planner!
Kim says
Those planners look really great. I love planners and would be lost without one. Now that I am semi retired I have a fairly simple one that shows one week at a time. That really works for me. And I still like the paper ones.
Lisa Gessert says
Thanks for this timely blog!! Great planner for the kids!
Janet Barclay says
I love this product! I wish there had been something like this around when I was a student.
Ronni Eisenberg says
I’m with Janet. I wish there was a planner like this when I was in school. ( I made up my own.)
I really love the sections, including the weekend planner, so it’s not strictly academic. The project planner is also wonderfully organized.
Thank you for introducing us to us!
