I created the Muslimah Life Planner 2019 by
taking the best of the techniques, tools and planners and journals I have used
over the years to try and manage my life better. I have built on previous
versions to make this the biggest and best version yet insha’Allah.
This year The Muslimah Life Planner 2019 is 451 pages long and includes:

I hope that Sisters find it beneficial in helping to
set wonderful goals and feeling inspired to achieve them. I hope it gets
Muslimah’s thinking about how 2019 could be an amazing year for them full of
clarity of purpose, gratefulness and creativity insha’Allah.
“There is no intelligence like planning.” ~ Hadith Ibn Majah (via
Provisions for the Seekers - Zaadut Taalibeen)
This planner will help you to work through listening to your inner voice (Vision Board exercise pages), deciding what the most important things are for you in the greater scheme of things (Life Planning pages) and then focussing on the parts that you can realistically do over the coming year (Daily Pages for 2018).
The Daily Pages will give you lots of space to dream, explore, plan and
review how you will make these things happen. The act of setting them down on
paper will mean that rather than vague ideas they are laid out in black and
white where they can be prioritised at the start of your day, included with your
days’ work and reviewed at the end of your day.
I hope the journal also offers a safe space for introspection and for self-review
each day in order to learn and improve. I also hope it helps Sisters to find
something in every day to be grateful about and to help cultivate a deep sense
of gratitude in their everyday lives.
“And when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely
increase you [in favour]” ~ Quran (14:7)
Please do download and print, you can keep the journal in a ring binder
folder. I have tried to keep the format simple so that they are print friendly.
There are some parts where you may need more than one copy of a page because
you have lots of goals to plan out or because your vision is so expansive
alhamdulillah. Simply print the extra pages and slot in where you want. This
format is also conducive to adding in drawings, cuttings, art work, collages
and articles you might want to save to inspire you.
Good intentions count for so much in Islam and planning ahead to
maximise our good deeds is the first step in making those intentions.
After finding myself overwhelmed with everything I had to do with five
children, a busy household and work, in the end it was using a daily planner
that helped me to start managing my time better and understanding where my time-stealers were.
If you find it useful, please make dua for me and my family. If you find
the Journal useful or have suggestions for improvement, I would love to hear
from you at umm_salihah@yahoo.co.uk or in the comments and perhaps I could
incorporate some of them into an updated version for next year.
